sorry hafta disagree, i had 2 kazuma dingos for two years, rode mine every day, and really never had a problem, no broken shocks, no swing arm bearings worn, not impressed with what i read abut the jetmoto.

Jetmoto is a first attempt a near-japanesse quality in a chinesse ATV, and for 1/2 the cost, it can do anything a major brand can.
The suspension is pretty nice, and the rear bearing is a known issue (no grease zirk, de de de.)
Other than a few flaws (every car, truck, ATV, etc has them) it's badass.

worn bearings in rear swing ars!!!
I've replaced the swingarm bearings in my 250 Sport. I'll post up the bearing part number as soon as I can. I bought them from Motion Industries, Inc., but I'm sure they can be bought other places too. Do a search on this forum for my post about it.
I also drilled the swingarm and put a grease zerk in. While your at it check the shock linkage bearings too. I'll bet they are at least dry and full of dirt, at worst trashed. I also drilled the linkage parts and put in grease zerks. Needle bearings will not last long without lubrication.
After these small improvments I have no gripes with Jetmoto. The dang thing just starts up every time, and rides like any other quad. Here's the fun part... for less than half the cost of other quads. If you haven't ridden one, don't knock them. Well maybe the rear shock should be stiffer.... to help carry the extra weight from the money I have left over.
I kinda remember when anything from Japan was considered junk too...hummmm.

just because they're haft the price of a jap atv doesn't mean they should be haft the quaitly. they should be almost identical in quality, having the shocks break, swing arm bearing wear quickly, the rear spocket bolts shearing off is totally unacceptable, i can understand the some bolts backing out and falling out , but the swing arm bearing should last for years not days, the reason the japs atv are a little more money because they spend alot of money on advertising, R&D, and a great deal of money on sponsorship. which the chinese don't do. when's the last time you seed a tv ad for jetmoto or any chinese atv? never, R&D , the chinese buy cloned engines and just about everything else is off the shelf. were the japs design their own products and test them before going into production. on sponsorship, been to a irl race or a super cross lately? honda dominates irl racing. no the jetmoto doesn't do everything a jap quad can do, last for years (not months) and have good resale valve. no i'm not against the chainese quads, i think they're great for the 4-12 year old beginners, on a limited budget for riding around in the back yard or fields. very poor choice for intermediate and above riders
