okay...heres the low down on this...
it sounds like youve got a chinese/taiwanese bike...right? you wont get instructions, and my manual was in chinese. not much help considering i cant read chinese....
the hardest thing to do is remove it from the crate...the first thing i did when i got my bike is drop it...which was really crap.
whats disconnected is the front wheel, handle bars, indicators, mirrors, front brake , battery, and switches on handle bars.
to attach the front wheel, get the bike on its center stand, and get someone to push down on the back (or put weights on it) to lift the front forks off the ground.
you need to use the axle to keep the front wheel on the forks, which is just a case of slipping it through the holes. when you put the front wheel in plce, make sure your disc brake aligns with the brake pads, and spins freely. if not, your brakes wont work.
before you tighten it, you need to connect the speedo!
on my bike, there was a ring of metal with two cutouts, that slotted into the gap on the front wheel. it can only go in one way, so if you do it wrong, you wont be able to put the speedo cover on.so do it right!
finish the front wheel- by putting the other bolt on the speedo side of the wheel (the other half ogf the axle) and do it up good and tight. do a proper job because this is whats keeping you on the road and alive. TEST YOUR BRAKES NOW. if they dont work, you need to reevaluate what you just did and what you did wrong....
now for th handle bars- mine were the clip on type, so you just need to position it in the holders, and tighten up really tight. with th allen key that is not provided of course.
the controls are pretty easy to put on- put them were you can reach them, with the indcator switches on the left, starter on the right.
screw your mirrors on!
battery....this was a *****....
you have to fill it up first...BUT BE CAREFUL, battery acid is very...well...acidic...so dont spill/inhale/drink it
the battery connectors on min were labelled wrong, so use youre common sense here- red is posistive, black is negative. always connect the positive cable second. and make sure you have a spare fuse just in case.
indicators are easy...screw them in, plug them into the wires provided. (you only have to do the front indicators) check they work
your bike is complete!
before you even think about starting it...
check;
brakes (again)
tire pressure
engine oil
lights/horn ect.
some advice, because its new, youve gotta break it in- so be gentle for the first 1000mls or so.
check the valves regulary during the break in period- they change shape apparently, and can change the valve gap. if they tighen then it could break your engine- so its a good idea to keep tabs on it.
also check for leaks- my bike was scarpped recently because there was an oil leak, and basicly the engine melted.... so keep your oil in check
always check brake fluid and brakes before you go.
if your bike doesn't start, check the kill switch, petcock, and sidestand switch before anything else.
the rear brake wears quickly- so you need to keep adjusting it.
the same with the drive chain...WD40 is a life saver for these bikes
some other stuff, the chinese importing companies are going broke very quick- somake sure you have a number of suppliers who can get you parts.
if you are unsure about ANY of the assembly stuff above, DONT DO IT. its better to be safe then sorry. get a mechanic to do it- it shouldn't cost much, altough i couldn't give you a price (less then £100 though). your life is worth £100.
