How about this:

Chinese beat Japs to the punch on the small cheap bikes. Granted they fall apart as they are cheap. But China cant make them like Japan as it would run the price up. Mean while, Hondazukiwasaki has a lobbist or two.........law passes, China maker goes under, amendments to law happen a couple years later so Hondazukiwasaki can fill the market......with cheapER quality bikes. Effectively snuffing out the Chinese.

Hey thanks. Everything, and I mean everything including back tire are original equipment. It doesn't make since that the timing chain would be the first part to "wear" out. Usually you wear out tires, and drive chain/sprockets a couple of times before anything on a motor. I was trying to flush out some statement like "they all do that"...I will take a better look at the tensioning system.
From the graphic it appears that "special bolt" is where both large and small changes are made to the deal that applies tension.

I don't know if this is part of the 24 million acres or not, but they want to turn Johnson Valley into a marine base. It basically looks like Pakistan/Afganistan so they want to train there. It kinda sucks becuase you want to ride, but at the same time, we want our troops to be prepared.

my town never had the ban????????
we had used xr70's ect. for sale since feb. and also all the new china minis ect. i actually bought parts around march for my ct70 (xr70 parts) and they didnt have the slightest notion of being even limited. right now they have pw80's ect.
even now i bought a bunch of xr100r parts i think if it was real it was so bogus even the lawmakers didnt pass it:p
