Patience is key. Or maybe the freakin battery. Okay, she arrived on a Friday. Filled up the battery and charged it. All should be okay. But when I went to install it it leaked from the front side seam. So a no go. Contacted them by website and phone. Took almost a week to hear back. Fine, I'm glad they did contact me and told me they'd send another battery out and should take 5-7 days. Cool I think. Decided to order another just because from ebay. Ebay battery arrives and it's not the one listed in the auction. Already sealed generic no company name on it. Fought it and got a refund. Oh it looked old and had some corrosion. The seller said keep the battery it's good. A day or so passes and I think let's try it- I want to ride! It melted the case of my Schumacher charger! Melted it but thank God didn't short it out. 11 business days go by and no battery from Superiorpowersports. Wrote again and immediately got a ship notice. Oy and phew! Battery arrived packed in shreaded paper, box damaged and one of the electrolytes leaking. Freakin batteries. Fortunately adding some distilled water worked and we have ignition! about 3 weeks later :0

Mini impressions- the right blue panel was not seated under the seat well compartment. Meh easy fix. A couple of crimped hoses going to the air box. One was too long- no problem. For some reason they put a metal plaque on the top side of the air fain cover, half on half off with sharp edge on top just waiting to cut a finger on. Whatever I'll buy another cover. The plaque doesn't say anything it doesn't say elsewhere. And an oil leak from the underside seam. A little worried about that because it looks like the gasket is sticking out a bit too far. Tightened 3 bolts and so far no more leak.

For fun I ordered a couple of Yamaha decals. Still waiting on a small 40mm one for the front. Here are a few new pictures

But I have no right to gripe really. Think about it. It shipped from China. Shipped from California and I paid a total of $1061. , it could never run and the work and shipping is there. It better run for a while though LOL And I see it's gone up $177 over what I first paid.

Anywho

Sorry never replied. Lots of blah to tell (later) but yes, the gloves did arrive. Not sure they are worth a dime but they fit. I don't like the tires! Though I'm sure it's cause I've never ridden knobbies before.

Is Jonway the same as Roketa? It does say Roketa in the ad but the bike is labeled Jonway? Either way I know a lot of it is PDI so here we go
