Hey there... I just got a new Fleetwood Series XR-12 - 127cc (also know as yx127cf) Motorcycle and I'm trying to get it up and running. There are no instructions of course and there is a lot of assembly to this thing! Yikes! Anybody out there can help me with a few questions? First off I have something hanging under the bike and I'm not sure what it is or where it goes (see picture). Is that a ground or something? Any ideas? I'm stumped...  I'm going to replace the fuel line and filter but I was thinking to leave the vacuum lines alone (there are lots of them!) They seem to be securely connected anyway. Think I can get by with these? Changing them out seems like it would be a royal pain. This bike is going to be quite the project I think... Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give! Attachments:

[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]Ohhhh I can assemble it... in fact it is assembled now... just got finished firing it up. Seems to run like a top. Quite satisfying after about 20 hours of blood sweat and tears.
I'm just not sure I have the rear axle right... want to be sure.
Sorry its my first time assembling one of these things and this one seems to be one of the trickier ones... it is not your average run of the mill bolt up the front tire scooters, PDI it and go.

Got multiple pics of the rear wheel and we may be able to help with the axle i think you know you don't want that wonky. Sorry for the comment it was just begging for it...

[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]Handles great as far as I can tell... I only rode it up and down my street a few times. The suspension is really nice. Yep it is electric start.
I weigh 260 pounds and it takes my weight no problem.

[replyingto=averageguy]averageguy[/replyingto]The experience is somewhere between a Garelli moped and a Kawasaki Ninja  Judging from others experiences I suspect it will do about 55-60 without redlining it too bad. |
