Q: My precious motor and the three little pigs

Sounds like a terrible book, huh. 

 

Well, I will get to my question.  I just purchased last month a new gas Kymco bike, but my friends keep warning me about the cops and make it seem like the only thing they are doing is standing out on the corners of busy intersections looking for foreigners bikes to take.  I'm not saying they are or they are not, but i live in a busy part of the city and I have stopped on streets and the cops just look at me and wave and smile, so whats really the deal?  Any tips also for me or comments, thanks everyone!  Tongue

Is the bike licensed? I know cops seize bike with no plates. Just smile when you see cops. I had a cop give me the eye one day and i smiled at him and he smiled back, just a normal response.

TedDBayer:

What motor? The 150cc is probably a copy of Honda GY6. I've been looking at these. There are alot of speed parts. I'm back home, was going to buy an electric scooter, but bought a gas one. I changed the variator (pulley). The scooter is faster and gets more top end. Changing the weights-lighter in the pulley makes it faster off the line. Add a CDI box, change exhaust and maybe a rejet in the carb or carb change.

The Chinese guys do it. There are mods for electric bikes also, add an extra battery, rewire the throttle. The gears can be changed.

Oh forgot that part, no the bike is not licensed, no plates and I have no Chinese drivers license or plan on getting any.  The bike is a brand new Kymco 110cc, and as long as I am here i plan on modding it too, why not?

TedDBayer:

if its not licensed the cops can seize it, ask the dealer, sometimes they can arrange registering it, no license,, hey sorry I'm testing it. A different variator and lighter weights, ( asuming you don't weight 100lbs), the variators can be bought on line, but do research on which ones work.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
