Hey guys and gals I have been reading some of your posts, no instructions , a useless owners manual. I am not mechanically inclined to troubleshoot some of the problems that you get when you are building them, like not having the right screws or not knowing why it is not starting. Carb problems etc do not appeal to me so I will probably look for a good used japanese model sometime. do not get me wrong but I just want to start it and go.Thanks for some info. I am sure jetmoto is alright and I do not want to sound like I am bashing them , they are just not for me

 

godeep69,

Sounds like you have figured out your own dilemma. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you have been reading posts here, you know mechanical aptitude is needed to put your Chinese quad together along with some fine tuning.

If you do not want to do your own maintenance and repairs make sure you have a local dealer that can do it for you. This will be true no matter what type of quad you purchase. You will need to keep up on routine maintenance and have the quad repaired at some point. Just find a dealer you can trust.

Good Luck.

You certainly shouldn't take on more than you can (or want to learn how) to handle. Find a used japanese/u.s. bike take it for a good test drive, maybe bring a buddy who has some knowledge of the bike with you and, if the price is right, buy it. Chances are, if it works right when you test it (and I mean spend some time with it), then it will continue doing so for a long time. At least, it will be easy (albeit expensive) to find someone willing to work on it.

Yes, thank you, I love the price but I just want to buy it put gas and oil in and turn the key and ride and that is not going to happen to this purchase, like I said jetmoto sounds nice but not for me I just don't want t o chance If I get one that it does not start get a new better spark plug etc... tires with no name on it. Sorry I am sure there are people out there with some beautiful bikes and no problems

 

What is the policy on returns to raceway atv if One buys the bike and does not like it? Is there a test period for a person like me? the 200 or 250 jetmoto? Thanks

 

Go here to read up on Raceway's warranty and satisfaction guarantee. Warranty. If you decide on the Chinese quad Raceway is the dealer to go with. I'm sure Raceway will try their best to make your purchase experience a good one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you go with a used quad, and you need some assistance with the purchase I would do what rodneygt suggested and take a friend with you.

Making a used quad purchase is going to be a hit or miss even if the quad runs great when you go to look at it. I purchased a used YZ125 for my son, we did the test ride, the bike had a fresh piston and ran great. Looked clean, all went well for a couple of rides. Then little things started to pop up. Nothing real major but still cost a fair amount of money in new parts to make the repairs. Now I also purchased a used CRF 150 a few years back and have not had one single issue with it to date. All of the bikes I purchased new have never had a single issue with them except for bent or broken levers everytime my son rides a bike. Man this just pisses me off.

Keep us posted on your purchase.

Good Luck.

godeep69's post has got me thinking.......how many of these Chinese sellers would tell godeep69 that it was no big deal to put one of these quads together?? And if they did go ahead and sell him one....what problems would come from it? And is the used quad market any better for him? Most used quads that will be in his price range would most likely need some mechanical work done to them too.

As a side note i will say that Jetmoto/Raceway should have instructions for the quads but it might not be updated for this model. Assembly instructions were the first thing I did for Jetmoto/Raceway.

godeep69, i hope you dont mind me putting a twist on your thread. im hoping for some input from other members.

 

No Problem, I was wondering if I looked at used jap quads from a local dealer here near me. They must fix problems before they sell them!

 

Buy used Jap quads, way cheaper in the long run. Mine never break. Just change oil, clean filters and put gas in. I have seen some real horror stories with Chinese machines.
