Thanks for the welcome,
What I did to get it running smooth is:
- tighten all the bolts make sure you tighten all of them
- I broke my engine in by cycleing it.
-run the motor for 10 min then cool off and do that 3 more times, then run a tank of gas through it with out loading up the clutch to hard and no high rpms.
- change the spark plug right away! mine did not work and i spent 1 hour till i figured out it was a bad spark plug
- you may have to adjust the idle screw a little bit on the carb to get it to idle properly
- clean out the gas tank and gas lines with air and a carb cleaner, my gas tank had tiny pieces of plastic in it, so make sure u blow the tan kand lines out good.
- adjust the brakes
- re attached the kill switch
Do not expect it to be perfect out of the box it will take some tweeking to get it going good.
I spent the afternoon working on it, I took it to my buddies cottage on the weekend and they work pretty good for "mild" off-road bike - drove fine on gravel and on an atv trail, watch jumps I seen someone break a wheel by landing hard off a jump.
hope this helps
