Judge Mental Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 Please comment on youtube vid if you think a part is missing,, or if anyone can give me legal advice I would sure appreciate it.. Thanks all. Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 The problem here is that you've taken it to bits yourself. It's a bit late now but the best thing would have been to have rejected the bike and handed it back to the dealer for them to sort out the play. At this stage, and with insuffucient details to know anything further, the only advice I can think of it to give them the bike back and ask them to re-assemble it so the play is removed. Be prepared for adverse comments on the origins of the machine. 1 Quote
Stu Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 I would be concerned that "The swingarm was reinstalled and tightened by an impact gun" That's not the way to tighten parts like this up! 1 Quote

It is if you want to eliminate any free play in badly designed or constructed bearings! 1 1 Quote
S-Westerly Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 I'm afraid this is a classic example of "buyer beware". There's a good reason Chinese built bikes generally have a crap reputation and so do the majority of the dealers who sell them apparently. Never having owned one I can't speak from personal experience. Hope you get it sorted. 1 Quote

I have emails to prove that.. Quote

Take a look at my pic,,, a needle roller cage i.d 25mm,,, a bolt o.d. 17mm, a bush separation tube,,,,, Thats 8mm play according to my calculation.. Would you say it dont need an inner bush.. No, theres no info anywhere. Thanks Edited September 2, 2021 by Judge Mental Quote
