outofline,What do you think of the ATVSť 300V-M "MONSTER"UTILYTI.It has disc all around it? also it seems to be quite a bit larger.I did notice its chain instead of shaft.

 

I'm up and running, Maching working fine. Kman I do like the power, I have nothing to compare it to this is my first large bike. The electical is still fixed TIM had me going in a minute.

The tires run pretty rough on the driveway. They are great on dirt. Kman have you notices this? I also noticed that my tires maybe a little out of round. Dont get me wrong the bike drives very good.. I'm all about making things better.

Also My bike turns to the right 2x tighter than to the left than to the right, I did not see an adjustment for that.. I may have to adjust it with a hacksaw lol. Kman have you noticed this on yours? How about the jet Guys do they favor one side or another in turns?

One last comment, I meant to post early but forgot untill now. I've heard alot of bad talk about the batteries they ship with these machines. The one that came with my Vbike is a Gell battery, very much like the 80 dollar one I run in my waverunners, and it looks very good, time will tell.


I have put some of the many pics on my page.. Thansk to OUTOFLINE for helping me figure out how to make that happen, from now on when i want to post something I'm going to shoot it at 640X480. It took me awile to figure out how to shrink a pic!! ChungKING

 

You guys ar egoing to hav eto spoon feed me! Ive put some pics on my page but how do you post them?? I do really wan to post some pics.

 

Chuck looks like you did it just fine, they need to be approved before they let anyone see them but now they are up! looks great! I love the Blue quad and the yellow on the seat is a nice touch! Sweet!

Ya know I did not see the 300 Utility (just stopped after I saw the 250) and it does look great, wish they had the shaft but all else looks good. I am not to keen on the rear plastic looking at it from the back, kindof plain! And at under $2000 I would say that a great buy!

 

Looking at some of the other Vbike offerings I am quite impressed. They have them price out really nice also!

I'm kind of feeling like I'm beginning to be out numbered here and an out cast in this thread now, being a Jet owner!

 

Chungking,Great to hear all is well with your machine.Wow I really like that blue!
Yes the tires are rough on hard surfaces but its not your fault or my faultits the asphalt. poor joke...Put it in the dirt and mud and she drives like a cadillac.
The turning seems to be the same on most all Chinese ATV's You really don't notice it when your out and running.I guess you just get used to it.I think somewhere I seen where outofline cut something to make his more sharper.
My battery is a sealed battery as well no problems at all.



outofline,don't you dare leave!We are just one tiny thread out of a megaplex of jethaven.
I got an idea,change out your sprockets,order a vbike seat and nurf bars and whoola best of both worlds.You would have a hybrid not a hibird.
Wow you couldn't sleep again 1:56 am.

 

Well, I finally got time to work on the VBike yesterday. I got everything bolted up, loctited (is that a word?), aligned the front end (needed it, toed in hard). Called Tim and he walked me through the wiring, took about 1 minute and she fired right up. It would have taken me hours to figure out the wiring due to none of the colors making sense, but not a problem. I replaced the shock mount bolts and tire bolts with some heavier hardend stuff and unfortunately the seat shipped in with the tab that hooks up front broken off. Called Tim and he will send me a replacement as soon as they get the black and red seat in, so I will wait for that.

Thanks KMan and Outofline for your input and thank Chungking for letting me to call Tim on the wiring thing. So far, I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I really like the quad. I like the power for the size, it is just what I needed. It really gets up and moves. Little to no vibration and shifts very well. I like the shift indicator on it and the nice bright reverse light. I think I have been most impressed so far by the fit and finish of the controls, engine casing, plastics etc. For what it is worth, I have been running nothing but Honda 10/40SJ through my VTX Custom, Interceptor, the Kazuma's and now put it in the VBike. I have taken a few pictures that are kind of dark in my garage, but all I had time for. I will post them along with my kids Kazuma's and then get better ones up later. I will be out on all three in a week or two on my buddy's farm so I will take some then outside and share. I think the only thing I am not overly thrilled with are the rims. They look like they could bend fairly easy, may consider putting some money into rims and tires, other than that, don't think you need to do much at all to it.

I am off to look for a Jet 150 or 200 for my wife.....

 

The Jet 200 would not be worth it, it's green stickered for cal. where the 250 is not which is the only reason to buy one if you live in cal. She would be much better off with the V 250 or if she wants a full auto the Jet 150 would work. Kman bought a different 150 that he is happy with and is bigger then the Jet and has racks.
Alright I'll stick around for a bit, but if just one more V guy pops up I'm out of here! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Outofline as you know with MIC (made in china) quads you can have 5 models that all look the same but are made by 5 different factores.

I looked over the Jets in person the other day and was impressed for the price vs. product. I looked at the Vbike site along with kczukiman's pictures he now has up.


The Vbike 250 frame and rear swing arm assembly is NOT the same. The jetmoto 250 has a bit more update rear swing arm shock mounting set up.

With that said if the Vbike is $700 cheaper and rides as good I guess its a nonfactor.

 

TwoBoysToys,Glad to hear your up and running.Sorry to hear about your seat.
One thing I would do is slime your tires...I went to walmart and got simonize sealtite its cheaper and seems to do just fine.
One thing I can't figure out is how you get by getting your wifes bike last?
