Anyone have experience with MUTT or thoughts on the bikes?

[TikiTohTingTong]

Was thinking of getting the bike, but since its not as popular, its quite hard to find info on the bikes in terms of common problems or just the bike in general. Saw some vids online and most of it is UK/EU based so I'm not sure if it will be similar to SG. mostly are loose screws/cords or their electric and switches so i'm not sure if its a common thing for the ones here too.

You can get Mutt parts off taobao. It's also using parts from Suzuki gs125 and gn250 depending if you buy the 125 or 250cc mutt models.

 

To be exact the mutt bikes(with the exception of the new DRK models), their models code starts with QM125 / QM250. Their china origin brand is "Qingqi". So if you go in taobao search for parts by typing in QM125 or QM250 or Qingi QM125 etc., you can yield more results. And yes it can get super cheap parts if you know how to source it.

The key thing to note is that all these mass production Chinese bikes are just rebrand of china brand bikes. So mutt/Brixton/mash/sinnis/lexmoto etc. all these are just using a china origin based bike like Qingqi for example and then just rojak change parts here and there to bling it up to make it look super nice but in a essence it's still a Qingqi. Go on Alibaba webpage and search retro motorcycles and you can see that these bikes all look the same with the exception of branding and slightly different parts like exhaust etc. Buyers who buys in bulk above the UOM from factories can put their own logo on the bikes and edit the bikes with different parts so it stands from the other clones. So yeah nothing seems to be really authentically custom there, it's just still seems to be mass produced.

Mutt are those bikes that you have to keep up on loose bolts, random parts suddenly not working, but at the same time certain parts are super cheap though if you know where to get it. However specific parts like the tank have to get direct from Mutt.

In terms of parts availability I don't think that's a problem as you can just go to mutt shop directly(I think the shop is called CREO now) to get things fixed.

 

Still though if you're good with fixing the bike yourself, it will still prove to potential be a gem, since parts are cheap, easy to fix and maintain and generally low fuel consumption while looking stylish too. Speaking from experience as I've owned both a lexmoto and mutt prior and I've done engine oil and oil filter changes, air filter change, spark plug change, valve clearance, brake pad changes, rear shock pre load adjustment, battery change, chain adjustment, clutch and throttle cable change, fuel pump change, TPS sensor and O2 sensor change. So yeah if I can do all these back under my void deck back then, so can you A good service manual from Haynes would be good to have plus watching a few you tube tutorials before attempting to do any maintenance works yourself.

 

 

BUT, the resale value on all Chinese brand bikes in Singapore sucks. So if you but any Chinese brand bikes in Singapore take note you may not be able to get a lot of worth when it comes to trading in the bike for something else in the future.

Oh and by the way, Mutt HQ in UK is closing down or as they call it now "they're in administration". Another fancy way of saying closing down the business.

Not sure how this impacts the Singapore side of Mutt but another one bites the dust. There's still Brixton though.
