Default JetMoto front suspension/steering

I'm with you, for the money it is one heck of a nice quad. My son loves it. I just don't want anything to suddenly break, and him get hurt. I spoke with Danielle at Raceway this morning, and she is shipping out new ball joints, and a new tierod. Same great, friendly service as usual. John and Danielle... you two are the best!

BTW, check the upper steering stem mount. It has 2 mounting bolts with a locking tab on both. Those bolts had come loose also allowing the handlebars to wobble around. How they came loose with the tabs supposedly keeping the bolts from turning is a mystery. I have a funny feeling there is nothing but a plastic bushing in the mount, might be wearing. Anyway I tightened them down, and rebent the tabs over, and solved that problem.

If you can't tell by now, I'm a natural born tinkerer. I HAVE to be working with something. Keeps me out of trouble.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention guys. This is just the kind of stuff Jetmoto wants to hear about. i havnt talked with Eugene in a few weeks, but Im sure he is working on a solution because of your posts.

Hey guys (especially Setters), thanks for the important feedback about the Jetmoto 150. We were thinking of buying one, but seeing all the problems listed here, I think we will pass.

No problem. I have always tried to post constructive critisism. The quad is well worth the price, and only needs a few parts upgraded to be even better.
