Radrob99,

At least your answers are honest, but again the way you write your post, you make yourself sound like a dealer, or worse a side walk or garage vendor. Here is an example, loncin but again, I must be wrong.

To set the record straight, I did not quote you on the i.e.: come on down to my shop. That was just the feeling that I got after reading a couple of your posts. If you look at my posting, I quote you in line number 4, nowhere else.

I was not trying to "bash" anyone, just reading between the lines and getting the feeling that you are a dealer. I'm not bashing you, but you do come off as a dealer and this forum frowns on dealers or others trying to make a sale.

would skip the 90's and go straight for a 150. My daughter who is 10 and about 75 pounds ride's a 150. The only problem with a 90 is next year youll be buying a 150. if you get a 150 just onscrew the throtle adj. half way so they only get half throtle. Jetmoto makes a pretty good 150 and they have parts to. If you are intrested in one let me know

Since you have set the record straight, I apologize for assuming that you were a dealer.

apology excepted if you look at loncin post these kids were 10 and 13 and they wanted to buy them a 90 cc. just as I stated it would not be such a good Idea because they will be looking for a bigger bike next year so why waste the money on a 90 when they can learn to ride a 150 , as for my daughter she rides a 02 Kasea 150 auto with reverse and does just fine. I bought 2 of these bikes when they were brand new and handed them down to my daughter who rode the 01 dinli 50 t rex which still runs.

these bikes are in all the warehouses around here so you have to be careful on what you buy, I have alot of buddies who have purchased these bike's and had problems with them. one had the wrong size wheels on it and we couldn't get them on, so he had to buy new wheels just to ride it. I have seen these bikes come with old style yamaha engines in them( it was on the side of the case) and it was missing stuff to, but he was happy he only paid 400 $ for it brand new

the main things when buying one of these bikes are:

1 if you are not capable of working on it don't buy it.

2 if you buy make sure you can get parts for it now and later, with my Kasea's its getting hard to find parts now.

all bikes fall apart. it just depends on who's riding them. these bikes are a bigginer bikes that can get you started without a big investment.

as for jetmoto they have a alright bike for the price and they have parts for them, but one buddy bought 2 and called them because it had a starting problem and the chamber was off and all they could tell him was they had parts, so I went and looked and all it needed was the carb was running to lean and adjusted the chamber on the left front wheel ( in my eyes there tech dept. sucks if they can't even tell you whats wrong) but they all have there own little problems thats why you need to be able to fix them yourself.

I'm with you guys there not the greatest, but for the price you can't beat if you don't mind messing with them once in awhile.

as for mwq being a Jetmoto's upgrade specialist/engineer thats kinda pushing it a little thats almost as bad as him saying that jetmoto is the best chinese bike around. I've been reading post here for a couple of years now just never had time to post anything. before you say it I'm not jumping on mwq I think he is a great guy and helps alot of people here it just seems he's pushing jetmoto alot and thats just my opinion.

I'm a reader not a writer I'll leave that up to you guys

 

Hi Rdrob99, I dont think Ive ever said that Jetmoto is the best chinese quad out there. If I did say that some where please let me know where, because I dont remember saying that. What I think I have said that they are trying to be the best chinese quad some day and I certainly dont mind helping them with that goal. The reason I talk about Jetmotos so much, is thats what I have experience with. What I am is a dirt bike rider who is also a machinist who has always enjoyed making a prototype for anything. I bought my wife a quad a couple of years ago and joined this forum. John at Raceway started PM'ing me about a few things and it kind of got crazy from there. I wasnt looking to be helping Jetmoto out, they came to me for my help. And just in case anyone is wondering Im not on the Jetmoto payroll. I have basically traded my time for a utility quad and a few other items. The pink plastic was one of them. I am going to be working in local Jetmoto dealership on saturdays starting in sept, but Im definitely not going to be getting rich doing it. Im actually taking a huge paycut from my normal job just to help Eugene out a little.

I also wanted to say that you are correct about Jetmotos Tech dept. It does leave a lot to be desired. Eugene is aware of the problem and is in the process of setting up his website with a bunch of technical bulletins with lots of normal procedures for all kinds of service/maintainence items. There is also plans for a online help message center sort of deal too. Both will be available to anyone who wanted to log on.

 

hey, mwq yeah I've been reading your post since you got that 150 yamoto 2 years ago for your wife and I have to say What a great job you are doing helping all of these people on here, as for jetmoto I do have to say they are trying to get better it just takes time, and alot of work atleast they went the extra mile to get carb approved so we can get a green sticker and have parts for when they break that is more than you can say for the rest.

its funny that all these warhouses have bikes but very few have parts are the tech support to fix them or even ask questions, so they have to depend on these forums to help. I know your a mach. not an engineer specialist. what ever that is. were just glad you have been here to help its people like you that make a difference if someone listens.

boy I bet you took a pay cut to do this, most of these guys are two steps away from filling bankruptcy on there investers. in fact I think you are probably underpayed, but your probably like me and do it cause you like to fiddle with things. keep up the good work and see you later
Thanks

 

Hey mwq, who designed and machined the prototype footpegs for Jetmoto? Footpegs

Have you designed any other upgrades for the quads?

Also have you had any input as far as improvements that have been accepted by Eugene or have put together any technical drawings for the 07 Jetmoto's coming out?

If you answer yes to any of the questions you are at least an upgrade tech since some here do not like the word specialist and if you have had some drawing or blue prints accepted then you also, at least in my book, qualify as an engineer.

Radrob99, I know you are not bashing mwq, but I do look at him as an engineer/tech due to the work that he provides to both Raceway and Jetmoto.

Whether mwq gets paid or not, he is doing a job for both Companies. This again is why I put mwq as an upgrade specialist/engineer. Didn't know what else to call his work for them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] So as to your question, this is just what I consider him to do based on the postings that I have read.

Hey mwq, what exactly are the upgrades that are coming for the 200? Can you let us know? Are they going to come out with stronger steel for the frames? Larger diameter frame tubing? Larger frame? ?????

MWQ, keep up the good work.

LOL !!! it's ok smb 05

The '07's are supposedly coming with a normal rear end and a different swing arm. Which will position the shock better. MWQ did see a '07 200 and it is a much nicer quad. 5" longer wheel base and a different swingarm and the rear shock is moved forward about and down 4". The top mount is in front of the battery box. This gives them room for a reinforcement bar above the shock, picture it coming out of the top of the shock and going into a triangulated junction and welded. (not sure if I explained that to well) And the shock itself has almost 4 " of travel. Which should get around 6"-7" at the rear wheel. The ball joints are also going to be changed to a stronger item in '07. The amazing thing about Jetmoto is they really do like criticism in the forums. Eugene really does want to know what doesnt work and fix it before the next order. Joel

 

2manytoys,

It will be interesting to see the next version of the Jetmoto's and how well they perform. With each new model they do get better.

Do you know if they will be doing the suspension upgrades to all of the models or just the 200? I think you might agree that the 150 also needs a little help. Not too many have really complained about the smaller cc models, but will they also be going through some changes?

I do believe that Jetmoto does take the right steps in trying to make a better product. By listening to their customers they can build off the feed back to hopefully improve the reliability of the quads.

Have any of your ideas been added to the new quads? What other improvements would you like to see built into the future quads?

Talk to you soon.

SB

 

Radrob99,

What's so funny? Was there something I said to make you laugh? Having a hard time with giving a person a little respect for the efforts they put forth? Or am I reading your LOL wrong too?

What title would you give mwq then? Did you design those foot-pegs and machine them? The way I see it, is that if he is doing a service for a company (Jetmoto), he is still part of the process of making the quads better. Whether it be contract labor, employee work, or to trade services for toys, it is still being a part of the Company. So, if this makes you laugh then you are also laughing at a person who puts his time, effort and hard work into these quads.

Oh well, hopefully people with the 200cc quads, will now leave feedback for which this thread was intended.

SB

 

lol again I try not to title other people but' thats enough ! this tread is really heading the wrong way oh and by the way I wasn't laughing mwq I was laughing at you, you just keep getting deeper and deeper pretty soon you will be able to import you own china bikes threw the hole (haha) enough is enough don,t you think
