Is this the normal on Chinese scooters or all others as well?

I like how nobody likes to tell us where they are.

Been there in the past, retired in '06. I did work for a small local repair shop so had access to many, owned two nice machines and bought six. But then medical issue changed that and now I'm trying to start over. Hoping it does come soon.  |

I didn't gain anything when I tried them many years ago. Wasn't aware they were still around.

Is the bolt metric as the case would be or has it been replaced by SAE? That could cause such a disaster with little effort. I personally retaped a stripped out metric hole for an SAE bolt because that is what I had and the inch was just slightly larger.

Maybe you should have put this in the "Non-Chinese" board lower down.

Why don't these folks ever mention the saddle height? I've had several taller bikes like that and found them too difficult to handle in the city. My 1500 Gold Wing was the worst. With the 1200 I cut a lot of padding out of the seat to make it narrower. These style of bikes don't lend themselves to such modifications. But knowing what to expect would be helpful.
I'm 5'3" with 28" inseam so even my pants need updating.

I've owned two a K5 and a K4. I souped up and drove the K5 hard but had problems with the cam chains on both. It was my "chopper". The K4 was my city bike. Fixing them would be easy but, I lusted after that '86 GL1200 Aspencade.

Before my latest "upgrade" from Microsoft I could always connect to this board and be logged on. Now with the new "improvement" to Windows 10 I have to sign in every time. Is there a way to correct this annoyance? There are other boards that I had to relog into but they give a choice whether or not to stay logged on.
