2008 - ZNEN/ZhongNeng/Duke - 250cc water cooled

[perditalupo]

Wellll ....

I ride this 2008 ZNEN about .... 70 to 75 miles per week (sometimes 100)

Bought it used ... it had about 1500 miles on it, looked to be in mint condish.

Anyway, it's been fair ... but in just like the last 3 months or so I've had to put it in the shop 2 times.

6/3/2010
gear oil change - noise in rear drive
oil change
clutch bell/drum - replace/install

this was at the 2,460 mile (odometer) mark.

and .... just today .... I had to put it in the shop again to replace a radiator
6/24/2010 ... just shy of 3,000 miles (on the odometer).

I enjoy riding it when it works and it has been dependable except these 2 times.
I'll keep you posted.

What was the problem with the radiator? - leaking? - if over heating, usually the sensors...
We had two of these bikes in the shop recently, both had developed a gear oil leak from the rear axle/bearing housing, causing the clutch and drive belt to slip and shudder...
