Hi!
Here in sunny South Africa, we've got a great definition as to anything of sub-par quality...

Fong Kong.

Please mail the moderator or administration guys to include a Fong Kong section.
I've been burnt twice with their stuff.
The dealers are as pathetic as the manufacturers. No support or back-bone.

Actually, as consumers, it IS our fault for propagting their business growth.

Merry X-Mas & a prosperous New Year!

Benjamin.

Still only get what you pay for!!!!!!!!This is true for KIDS quads......really......Think about it what are you going to get for $500-$900 dollars........They will have more than that tied-up in labour here in Canada and the U.S.A. for a Kids quad made here!!!!!...Caper......

Hi there!
I know it's only for a child, but when I buy something like this, why should I have to re-build it?
Case in point, bought brand new 110 cc shaft drive Dacar, aka No Limit, aka SAM, aka Kazuma and the list goes on...
The rubber seals on tie-rods, ball joints & drive shaft were perished.
Two hi-tensile (8.8) bolts holding engine were stripped too.
Only noticed at home.
Went back to supplier and other bikes had exact same defects. Sorry for me, that's not covered in "guarantee conditions".
Taken 2 weeks so far to source suitable parts, called at many an auto spares shop here. Had to improvise for driveshaft boot too. Used one for VW Golf outer CV! Works great!
Had to loosen up all the suspension linkages for softer travel. Needed greasing too.
Now to tune the motor...
Anyone interested in buying it...I'd even consider giving it away!!!!
Regards!
Benjamin.

I think the shipping charges would deter any thoughts of a free atv. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Better luck with the next one you buy, regardless of the brand.
