Sage
I think you are really going to like it . Before cranking it up remember to change the engine oil. Take time to go over it once it is setup with a fine close look and wrench all bolts and nuts. I had to tighten the nuts on top of both front shocks which was a pain in the butt getting to . I had to remove all the cosmetics on front and get on top of the cross bar where the struts are bolted on . They were just loose enough that it made a little noise when bouncing over bumps . Other than that and the starter I am messing with now I have had no problem . A picture of mine after some use

 

Will do Leesumm. I have to say it sucks getting it and then having to leave. Feels like Christmas Morning!

Actually wasn't expecting it so fast. I went with the red one. Once I get to it - I'll put some pics somewhere of me assembling it, etc. Besides a quick sneak peek - I haven't been able to check anything. Appreciate the heads up - I'll check all the bolts and go through it very carefully.

 

Yes I know the feeling of Christmas morning right now. While reading your post the mail man delivered the replacement starter for mine. I have to check this one out and see if it corrects the problem now .

 

My fingers are crossed for you leesumm.

 

I was going to post on my original post about the starter but I will here . I just got the new replacement in the mail a little ago and finished just now putting it on . I hit the starter and it didnt even turn a 1/4 turn and fired . Purrrs like a Tom Cat in a meat house . There is a difference between the two starters I still had the first replacement Tim sent and laid them side beside and there isnt one noticeable difference other than the numbers on them . The first one had a parts number on it and the second didnt . Of course the second one is off one on the showroom at Tims. But I am a happy camper again . Just the time out waiting on the trusty mail service. I think I can walk to OkC and back again by the time the mail goes by transportation . But any way it works agian . I know Tim cant control the mail service and he is GREAT with customer service and takeing care of business .

 

Good to hear everything worked out leesumm.Can't wait for your first video.

 

Thats awsome leesumm, now you can get ridding again. Tim is proving to us all that Vbikes customer service isn't just a bunch of promises before the sale, he actually backs it up.

 

Got the bike together. Will post more later. With that said. There were no directions included. I checked everywhere. Fortunantly for the model I got - not a lot to put togther. Tires and handle bars - that's pretty much it.

Leesumm, since you have the same model as mine - is there anything I might be missing in the instructions you can think of? Changed the oil, etc. Haven't fired her up yet- haven't even put the acid in the battery yet. Will do that tomorow. Thanks in advance. Will post my thoughts on it when I have more time.

 

Hey Sage, in case you didn't know, those batteries require a charge on a trickle charger before you use them. After you fill the battety with the acid it needs to sit for about a half hour, then you can put it on the trickle charger.

 

Not that I can think of Sage, I didnt put mine together I went over there and picked mine out off the showroom. Tim assembled mine for me enough to get it in the back of the pick up and bring home. I didnt have a book either other than the cheap owners manual given with the bike. I did a thorough inspection while it was still in the pickup then backed it out and road it around the yard a little. It was later I found the shocks a little loose, kept hearing a little rattle then figured it out. I have just tinkered with it as I went along untill the starter issue . Now seems that is solved I havent had the need to do any thing drastic yet. But we are taking it up on a mountain to a friends property here and do some riding and a little metal detecting on a old homestead when it clears up . But I dont see any problems with it .
