qlink xf clanging after winter storage

[milarepa999]

Greetings Daive3921,
Those Mpg numbers are true. I’ve known about all of the factors you have stated in concern to my mpg numbers as I have been an owner of the xf since sept 2010. I also have done all the research and read all the information on this bike qlink xf/xp, SDK, qingqi 200, qm200 gy etx. The bike has all the common adjustments with 16t front sprocket, lex exhaust meant for a 450cc(personally machined to fit this bike) and the jets are a step larger than the stock. I use gps for accurate true readings for speed and mpg’s. I’m also a light person in terms of weight in-between 120 -130 ponds all year around. Also a very conservative rider at all times(well every once in awhile!!). I’ve done the highway thing(65-75mph, mpg’s = 80-85), off road and common road(40-55mph, mpg’s = 90 -105). This year I plan on doing more highway ridding and have a 45t rear sprocket on the way in order to suit such riding. Maybe my mpg’s increases with the new 45t rear sprocket(can’t wait to see). Mpg’s is my thing and I wanted something that could get such mpg’s. These smaller engine 125 -200cc light weigh bikes will most certainly achieve these numbers when set up and ridden correctly. at the time the Qlink was the cheapest best option for achieving this, plus the secondary air device on the bike makes it one of the most friendly gas engines in use. .

I believe you. If the carburetor is properly jetted, the bike is kept in tune, and the rider is easy on the throttle, one can easily average 75-85 mpg with these bikes. I have frequently achieved 90 mpg, and I have occasionally achieved 100 mpg with my Zongshen 200GY-2. If I ride the bike hard, I still average 75 mpg from my Zong.
