Hey Rodneygt,

How's your Kazuma Dingo 150 holding up?

 

For what it is, the dingo has held up ok. The kids mostly ride it (girls). But it will haul the adults around fine too. The starter switch didn't last too long, nor did the original battery. The tires seep air (and now tire slime) where the first row of ***** are on the tires. The front and rear sprockets are not aligned perfectly, which causes the chain to rub a bit, which, in turn causes the chain to eventually break (parked right now so I can fix the chain). OTOH, it's much much better than the jetmoto. Both are 06 models. I understand the 07s are better. But neither bikes hold a candle to my japanese bikes. The timberwolf is 14 years old and the rancher is essentially a tank. We'll see how the rhino holds up - fine so far.

 

What went wrong on your Jetmoto and what year was it? I have a 07' model and really that thing has been real good...so far anyway the last year. It doesn't just sit in the shed, it gets used quite often now as we live in the country etc. so the boys are riding it. NO issues wth the chain, sprokets, engine etc. so far. I agree though it's no jap quad.

 

As I mentioned, "Both are 06 models. I understand the 07s are better."

The front end is shaky - wheels wobble at speed and doesn't really feel safe. The rear seal began to leak in short order. There has always been a grinding noise from the cvt area. The fuel lines began pouring fuel after they cracked within a couple of months of it being new. Things I can and have fixed for the most part. But, it just never felt as substantial as the kazuma. It has been setting in the shed unused for over a year.

We live in the country too. When the jetmoto began to give problems, my daughter lost interest in it and just decided to ride the timberwolf, rancher or rhino. She especially didn't like her leg getting soaked in gasoline.

 

Oh thats not good. I think I know the model you speak of. Does that one have the reverse in the rear axel or something?

 

Yeah, reverse in rear axle.
