I can't complain, i got 14,000 miles out of it.

2 events-

1. I go to adjust valves and note even at top dead center ,the intake tappet has 1 \6th of a inch play and am amazed in wonder

2 I assume the valve/spring is stuck and push down on the flat round plate that holds the spring in and it ( round plate) pops off and spring comes up to tappet, with tappet threw the middle of plate..

I would really love to know whats going on here as i am amazed first at the TDC leeway on tappet

I have never heard of this, tho xingyues are know for head issues

any one have a guess

and thanks for all the help here

thanks, i feel traction on info here, pardon pun.

I plan to get all the info i can before tackling this again.

I am pretty sure its the clutch, as its a real bell sound

i am getting.

but but,,

is there a way the vari can cut the bike to half speed almost instantly, that is what occurred.


and thanks fellas.

This is funny because i just posted the bike is at 14,000 miles and falling apart, and to day a new issue, of something that is broke.

I just got the carb cleaned and engine rolling, start down the street with the cvt cover off, and again i m back at half power/speed

engine is fine, but i am only getting half speed

and a clang clang clang

can this be variator or most likely the clutch has dangling shoe

cause i don't see how a variator could make that sound.

and is there a way to check

and thank you for everyones ideas on this

cool!

the bike is about 14,200 miles.

I keep a desk top "day at a glance" on the wall with saved pages to keep track of bike issues, and compute milage at end of each month.

and use GFh as example to chart miles, girlfriend house is 60 miles

GFH PK IS-

GIRL FRIENDS HOUSE AND THE PARK

thats 92 miles

some weeks I have GFH PK 4 times.

I make my self walk to the store and such as to keep weight down, so most all trips are long ones

this xingyue bike was a deal. at 1425.00

Since the rings got thick with boron it has almost completly stopped burning oil or is like new, i was going thru 1/3 a qt between 30 day oil changes, now it is 1 tenth a qt*.

A subject i don't discuss anymore, as it went over too many heads.

and some times mine, but boric is in every car and lawn mower for many blocks around my house.

at 14,200 there is simply nothing wrong with the engine, but the carb was a nightmare, today it started first try, * sounded very good and is runing rich by nature.

besides boric acid in oil for about last 7000 miles, it is stream lined for low running temp , every where ever thing, i even put 2 holes in muffler past header small pipe so as to dump heat befor it got to back muff mounts and heated tire, axle and cvt .........and my muffler has never cracked like blue fronts did.

but this xingyue has a idle issue since 2nd week i had it., the idle goes way up to 3300 all by it self for forty seconds and then comes down again to 2100.

At 14000 miles i know it is gonna fall apart daily now,

4 break switches
1 start switch
1 new plug (yesterday)
1 new belt 8000 miles
3 head lights

I am ready to let go of it.

when engine goes i have a buyer who has offered 700.00 for this frame/style now out of production.

I will buy a last year sym next if i buy another bike, too many homo phobes try to kill folks here on hi peds in redneck land.

"Oh crap floyd, look at that moped with big tires , dam things are getting bigger!!! its a homo invasion lets kill it".



1.
* I manually first fed carb bowl with gas all the way back to gravity tank.

2,
* I use the extra oil now to do my next change


keep the faith everyone and thanks again so very much.

I was discribing a whole system, do pardon me, i am drunk with gas fumes, i have been cleaning a carb over and over 4 times because i am so smart hahahahahahah

As i saw on my bike, all that oil came off vapor from the head vent line to air box.

I removed it and no more oil in box.

but i have no drain from air box to back gear, some do, mine does not.

as to my english, its very dim witted right now, i have been breathing bad air for 3 days.

carb cleaner, gas, etc.

be a lession to us all.

vent the room!
