Please use the search feature FIRST
As this site grows, and more and more users have questions to ask, I am seeing the same questions asked over and over. If you read Frostbites "Read this before posting questions" thread,
http://www.chinariders.net/modules.p...ewtopic&t=1293 he makes a simple request which all users need to respect. There is a wealth of information already here if you take the time to do a little research on your own. When you ask someone to post up 10 pictures of a simple adjustment, please realize that posting detailed writeups here is quite labor intensive. I always do a detailed post of my Mods, and it takes a lot of time to make these posts. A detailed post with 5 pics can easily take over an hour. Help yourself FIRST, and others will be more then happy to help you AFTER if you still can't find the solution. Thanks.

Good point. IMHO, it is always better to bump an existing thread with a newer question if you need clarification instead of starting a new thread.
Oh, and wasn't there already a thread about this? :wink: :wink:

Guess you are talking about me
I have no parts manual, I'll try not to ask stupid questions, in fact I'll try not to ask any at all. I do try to read and search the threads. You may forget what it was like when you were new. Yes it takes time to make pics of your mods. Don't stop, but please try to remember not everyone you show your mods to is clearly advanced as you are. Your humble, SILENT, newby. N2r |

hey red lighten up. I for one am new to computers and love to help anyone that asks for it. from what I have read you seem to also. so rather than giving us heck for asking about something that you've posted befor just point out the fact that you have. I respect you for you knowledg and helpfulness. I also envy your computer skills.

Don't take it to heart too much and I'm sure it wasn't directly intended for you. This happens on all forums. I'd take red's post more as a kindly reminder than anything else.

also, it's nice when a thread's TITLE is somewhat descriptive of the thread's topic...especially when it concerns a problem :roll:
titles like "I have a question", "Newbie Question", "Help", etc. make it inconvenient to scan through past threads looking for old info.

Yea, a forum that I used to frequent has a policy of locking threads with non descriptive or misleading titles/subjects. A well worded subject (think search engine keywords) will go a long way in finding appropriate threads when searching.

New2Riding, I'd hate to think you were so offended by what I said that you no longer post. While this is certainly your prerogative, I think it would be a loss to you, and the rest of this forum community as well. You serve an integral part of this small, tight Chinabike family.

I don't have much choice red2003. The people where I bought my bike are so inept, I have to fix my own bike with parts I have to hunt down myself, or go to a regular bike mechanic. I'm about $2500 into this now. At todays rates about 2300$ American. My first day of riding ever was yesterday.
My wife and I spent 3 hours plating and registering my bike on Yesterday. She was in tears for most of it. Came home with my plate and threw it on the table. Not the experience I thought it would be. For 2500$ I have a bike that cruises at a blistering 35 to 40 mph. 3 gears to make a left turn at an intersection. I'm not asking for your advice as you were quite right the first time. I can PM Bruce and send US cash. Then I can give much more to a mechanic around here to swap a sprocket. Simple answer, well maybe for next year, I'll have to park it till I can make it safe for the road. I'm sorry for bothering you with my problems, I'm sure you are dealing with your own. |

I usually dont even post problems I have more than items I might be looking for.Although I have searched (a little) for after market mufflers that would fit my bike.
I usually just post stupid pictures of projects that I'm way over my head in. |

Haha very true red. But you got to start somewhere right? I started working on all of my friend's dirtbikes for money when i was like 10 . I'd just call my dad and ask him what was wrong with it.

But then again they are great to learn about how things work and cheap to start out with. Definitely not for someone who doesnt want to wrench on them. |
