Keep on top of the cleaning, if you want to keep it looking good. Chinese bikes like that are more prone to tinworm than even the cheapest Suzuki. The engine's solid, if underpowered, and I can guarantee you that the brakes will massively outperform the suspension. Yes, even that rear drum brake.
Also, you'll definitely be wanting decent tyres on there before too long. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

Uh, right. Best to leave that sort of comparison until after its first winter. Chinese bikes can be OK, but they don't tend to stay pretty, and they have a habit of trying to either shake themselves apart, or they sell themselves to the god of oxidation. The first of these lifestyle choices is obviously the easier one to deal with.
I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but it's best to lay off the effusive reviews until you've discovered all the quirks first.
You'll also be needing this link - save it to your bookmarks. CMPO are the main stockist and supplier for spare parts for Chinese bikes in the UK, and they're pretty good. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |
