Hi all
Just got my shiny new m2r kmx140 in the post about 3 or 4 days ago.
I called a friend who's got lots of technical know how to come and help me assemble it properly and check everything is ok before the first run, however after growing very impatient i built it up today and took it for a spin
Before i took it for its first spin i changed the oil, replaced the sump for a magnetic one and checked all nuts n' bolts were nice and tight.
Ive noticed after my 15 minute ride that the chain has become very loose, i expected that to happen so will be tightening it tomorrow, but is there anything else that anybody reccomends me to do?
for eg. should i tip the bike over, take out the sump and take all the metal fillings of the magnet? Should i change the oil again? etc. etc.
Thanks!
ps. What i think on the bike:
When i first got it assembled and changed the oil and added fuel i couldnt get it started. First thing that i noticed was the fuel line was creased in a few areas due to it being too long, so after trimming it a got a filter full of fuel instead of quarter full and a manged to get the bike going for about 2 minutes, after much tinkering around i eventually figured out that the fuel tap is back to front ie. on is off!!
Ive never ridden a motorbike before let alone one with a clutch (im used to semi automatic utility quads) so as you could imagine i stalled it a good few times due to going to slow in too high a gear etc.
After riding around for 10 minutes or so my gear changes definately got a lot smoother and i picked up a bit more speed however i havent even gone near half throttle and it seems to bomb along lol.
I accidently wheelied a few times whilst trying to set off from a stand still aswell
so far im loving the bike and would highly reccomend one, however the ride wasnt as smoooth as expected, which is strange because both front and rear suspension are set quite soft
5 minutes later and ive still got an itchy arse from the vibrations in the seat
anyhoo, my mate it still going to come down and give it a looking over incase ive done anything stupid like install the rear shock upside down :P
any questions about the bike, please feel free to ask, although i think i'll be asking a lot more than answering!
cheers all,
Rex
