I just got this bike with 2400 miles and it runs beautifully. The back tire exploded on my way home from the buyer, but I failed to inspect the valve stem, so I had it coming. Trying to replace it, in a world of shops that refuse to work on Chinese models, was an eye opener, and it prepared me for the reality that any real work this bike needed would be done by me.
I tried using the radio, but upon turning it on the radio growled static, went quiet, and the green power light died. I opened the shell around the gauges, and again, was ill-prepared for how poorly put together this thing would be. Screws are thrown everywhere and with varying sizes, plastic is bent beyond what I think is natural, and the windshield seems to fit within the plastic grooves only barely.
I just had to vent. Honestly, if I accept that the bike is a pile of plastic, it's really very nice. It rides great, it's fast, and it looks awesome.
Anyway, the fuse going to the amp is fine, the button plate isn't burnt or damaged. I can only assume that the amp itself has gone bad. JCLUSA.com is asking $120 for the replacement part, but that site appears to be unmanned. There are no replies from the administrators and I'm afraid that if I place an order I'll never see anything for it. China, right?
So my question is this. Has anyone had issues with the radio/mp3? How did you resolve it? I may just replace the whole thing with a new system, but if there's a fuse I'm missing or some other unseen ailment, I'd like to fix that first.
Remote ignition works, alarm works (though it quieted around the time of the radio failure, which also coincided with a wash. But it's suppose to be waterproof, so I'm not sure it even matters), and the horn works great.
Any help or general information regarding this bike would be greatly appreciated.
