Here's one of the Id plate if it helps

looks to be an atomik link mate, its got genuine pro tapers aswell.they are not a bad bike, but there not the best as far as "full size chinas" go (even though thats actually classified as 3/4 size) but dont be disheartened, those zhongshen gen 2 air cooled engines go hard, as long as you keep the maintenance up . if my memory serves me correct it puts out 15.5 KW? or around 20.8HP. and good job on getting it mate, dirt bikes are where its at
cheers,

Thanks for that.. Any tips for maintenance? How often to lube the chain etc?

i lube the chain every 2nd ride depending on terrain and drop your oil every 5 hours, keep your airfilter oiled as well. check valve clearances every 15/20hrs as well o and the usual lock tighting of every bolt you can

Yep, another one is check chain tension. there should be atleast 40-50mm of slack at the chain's longest point on the swingarm WHEN your sitting on it. the reason you have to sit on the bike while doing this is because your rear shock will compress and push your swingarm out so it will be a bit longer, and this in turn tightens you chain
