Hi guys, I'm just wondering what the average life-span for a china-made bike is? I've had my low end loncin 110cc close to 1 1/2 year now, I never bothered to run the bike in, I've only used cheap oil on it, the bike has been run in knee-deep snow, it's been in water up over the carb, it's been thrashed several laps on the local mx track, I've taken it out on forest-trails that would test even the most skilled riders and bikes, it's been run on High-speed gravel roads, I've flipped the bike uncounted times when practicing my slow wheelies and despite the bike looking like total shit with the scuffed plastic, bent bars, broken rear fender and the ripped seat, the bike runs better than ever!
the only thing that has failed was the clutch, that took me 30min to replace...
it always fires in the first kick, runs smooth, clean and doesn't smoke one bit.
have I been lucky and bought a bike from a "good batch" ?
I kind of got the impression that most low-end bikes are supposed to collapse during the first month?
Whats your experiences with the low-end china bikes? Gimme the good and the Bad.
