Jetmoto 110 or Kazuma Falcon Deluxe 110... Which one and why? How are parts availability for either brand? This is a tough decission when you are buying online and aren't able to even look at the ATV. I see the Kazuma has the forced air induction... pros and cons of this compared to the stanard setup? lay it all on the line and let me know.. I havent been able to see much on the jetmoto (except on this web site) but i see the Kazumas all over. I have 3 friends who all have the 50 sized Kazumas and havent had a problem yet.

I've got a Falcon Deluxe and am really impressed with it. The design is simple and strong. The engine is very reliable and starts every time. Cons are that it's center of gravity is quite high and the rear suspension is very stiff. It's a great bike for putsin around, but not so good for aggresive riding due to the high c.g.
I'm gonna get some wheel spacers when they are available from Raceway, which should help a lot. It's got enough power and size for a smallish adult to ride, (I'm 150 lbs), but is really more like a kids quad.

It has since occured to me that for the price of this quad plus a full set of spacers, I could have had a Jetmoto 150. But this one was for my daughter, so it was the right choice.

My daughter loves it!

If this is your first, know that its very important to tighten and secure the tie rod nuts, to adjust the toe and to drop the pressure in the tires down. (Goes for most China quads). This will make it much more stable.

 

thanks for the tips!!!! when i buy i am going to buy a 55 gallon drum of loctite

 

At first the quad may seem to start and run perfectly. But tweaking the mixture screw to find the sweet spot will really improve performance. Just don't forget where the original setting is. It surprises my how many people are so afraid of carbs that they will just leave it alone, then wonder why they have no power.


Wallyworld has a generic locktite called "Blue thread locker" or something like that. Its a lot cheaper, and seems to be working well so far.

 

Yeah i have turned into a carb guru after owning my 50 and now having to jet my yz250... but i appreciate the tips!!! i read somewhere they say you can bump start these if the battery dies... is this true? what do you do, put in neutral, push real fast and then pop in gear... like a manual but with this semi auto?

 

I've never tried, it would probably work, but since theres no manual clutch, I'd be worried about damaging the gearing, hmm just not sure. I have tried running it without the battery connected and that works fine. On my Dingo (automatic), I've forgotten to turn the fuel on and run out while on a hill, flip the fuel back on and it starts back up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Welcome to the forum jkylnhyde! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you keep the gear shifter pulled up or down it disengages the clutch. When you release the lever it engages the clutch. Just dont show your kids or they will be using this technique to pop wheelies.

 

well i ordered the Jetmoto 110... we will see if it is good or not... I use to own a SSR 50 (crf 50 knock off)... me and my neighbor would beat the hell out of these things , until they broke... sad thing is they broke every weekend, so we fixed them every weekend... I paid $1050 for the bike and put another $2200 into after fixing everything and adding other things... i am a firm believer those bikes or these quads arent made for grown men to beat the **** out of them for 4 hours straight three times a week... If you do that get ready to pay up and get parts... knowing this i completely feel that this should be an excellent first quad for my 9 year old daughter.. I think it should last or at least be fixable with a welder extra steel and alot of mechanical experience... Now if i can just keep off of this little 110 jetmoto, the life span of this bike shall be what it was intended to be.. but the chances of that are going to be slim. I just have to tell myself "it is not okay to practice wheelies on her quad"

i learned my lesson the hard way about not going through all the bolts on a knockoff, and will loctite everything.... When buying a knockoff you have to take full responsibility that there are going to be problems that dont usually occur when buying a quad from one of the "big Four".. but the big four have been know to put out a lemon or two themselves. To put it in a nut shell, if this bike sucks than it sucks. I assume all resposibility and wont be pouting or crying in all the forums like i have read where people bash others for not buying a "big four" companies bike. I will just drag this bike out behind the tool shed and unload a magazine from my Kimber into it and then move on..

I read on jetmotos website, that they have adjustable a arms..... can someone expalain this to me... I am new to quads... I own a GSXR and a YZ250 so this is new to me in this regards...

thanks for the welcome mywifesquad

 

When do you get the 110? Im looking forward to what you think of it. The adjustable a arms allow you to adjust the camber of the front tires. It is a new feature for Jetmoto and just was added to their quads for the latest shipment.

 

I should be recieving it by next weekend (i ordered on wednesday) I will loctite everything and then give a full initial review.. I bought a brand new old stock 2005 TRX450R for myself on wednesday to putt around along the side of my daughter. When i brought the TRX home i told my daughter it was for her but she didnt believe me... The new jetmoto will be a total surprise for her (she has no idea). She expressed interest in a new dirtbike when she saw the quad... but when she sees how much less work the quad will be for her (no kick start, not having to put feet down and hold yourself up when stopped, etc..) she will be way more excited.. She just wants to go ride bikes with the boys.... My neighbor and I both have 250 2 strokes and she sees the trailer loaded every weekend and wants to go, but we ride way too hard for her to come along.. Now we are going to be able to spend some more father daughter time together on the quads.... and that is what it all boils down to, spending time with the kids.. so whether i buy her a jetmoto for 1/2 the price of a new honda, but the jetmoto only has half the life span of the Honda.... doesnt matter i am with my kid![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
