My bad on the repost! I did look back quickly, must of missed it. i'm very happy with both of my china bikes and I used to have a china dirt bike as well, loved it too. It's all about treating them right and maintaining them properly, in my opinion.

There is actually a helix copy in my area going for $1000 obo. I've been eyeballing it pretty hard but since I just got the 150 I don't think it's a good idea. lol

Funny you should mention flood. That area down in the valley you can see in the pictures flooded and destroyed a whole town that used to be there. The movie "The river" with Mel Gibson was actually filmed down here and was sort of based on that. Fun, dumb, useless fact for you there. lol

You can do it, just don't have the car running.

I love my elite but she is an old model. I've not had much first hand experience with the new ones but a friend of mine has a 2010 with 4000+ miles on it.

Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind KZ, no one here as steered me wrong yet. I'm going to do a good once over on it today since it's raining. A day spent in the garage is fine with me!

Yeah, I love riding in country. The more curves the better! I'd love to visit the UK sometime, I've got a few friends that have moved here from there and their stories make me want to go more haha.

I took it back out briefly at slow speed and it's still there. It's almost like something is lose and dinging around, as far as the noise part of it. I'll check everything in the front of the bike for tightness tomorrow and make sure it's not just something that's worked loose. As far as the pulse, I'm not sure what's going on there yet. Maybe it's normal but I want to be sure.

It looks to me like there should be another spring. That small hole on the left side of it looks like a place where one would fit.

Ok, I'm not near as worried about it now at least. I checked it out like you said, alley. Doesn't seem to do it then. I noticed it did it intermittently when riding as well. Sometimes it would and then others not.
