New From Texas

Hey folks, I just got a Templar 250cc, the base model. It's been fun so far. I bought mine online through the Walmart app, and everything has been legit so far.
The bike rides well in the dirt, was a pain to put together by myself (I had to lay it down to get the shock set and the front wheel on), and is a pain to start up (you have to babysit it).

I'm 6'2 and 220lbs, and the base model Templar is a perfect fit. I saw a lot of posts suggesting I'd need the Templar X if I was larger than a certain size, but for me this is perfect height with the sag and the handlebars are perfect, right where I need them.
The speedo sensor bracket was at a weird angle, not the angle that puts it close to the tire/wheel anyway. I contacted the company and they are supposedly sending me a new one.
I'm looking forward to getting a new set of decals and a new carb (and a phone mount).
Also, the kickstand is RIGHT IN THE WAY OF MY HEEL!
