Hi Kenny,

 

do u have tachnometer with voltage meter tats is waterproof for my X8 ?

[deschankz]

Hi all.

 

I just passed my 2B earlier this week and am thinking of getting an X9 Evo. Have always loved the bike and hence need some advice.

 

 

1) Where would I be able to find X9 bikes which are in relatively good condition and reasonably priced?

 

2) What are the key points to check when it comes to viewing or test riding the bike?

 

3) Seems like a lot of maintanence has to be done to prevent the X9 from trouble. Is it a lot of hassle to upkeep?

 

4) Lastly, how does one go about buying a 2nd-hand bike? Details... Like insurance, transfer fee, admin fee.

 

Thanks in advance to any guys out there who can give some great advice!

 

Cheers,

Desmond

I know that there's a brand call KOSO from taiwan, very good water prove. If you interested, i can try to e-mails them for details. But should be tachnometer alone

i believe you mean the speedo meter panel, if yes it can be replace but lots of screw to be taken out.

 

Normally we change ours to LED bulb, call me if you need any help, cheers

[Sâundless]

Wow, it that your bike? i prefer the green camo.

Is your 250?

[syedshameer]

Thats something i did on my computer. An idea i have for my bike - either the white or green camo; asking around how much its gonna cost to do something like that.

[Taklehtido]

Bro u mean the graphics are done digitally .. coolstuff , maybe u could do stickers type cos if normal 1 colour good spray job already about $500 if airbrush should be 30%-40% higher at least ... btw can try with yellow base camo?

[syedshameer]

yea digital imaging. u mentioned sticker, is that a good idea for a large portion of the bike?

 

yellow camo; checkout the link i uploaded a yellow version.
