Where to begin, i will try to make a long story short so here goes, in january i ordered an x15 r32s viper, after a few days they called me and said they did not have the bike in stock which was cool, so i asked if they had the x19 in green they said yes, so in a few days it came on a truck to my house on a liftgate truck after a 150 shipping, it looked fine in the box, so from this point on think i am a ASE certified master auto and truck technician so working on this bike a one cylinder gas 4 stroke is no big deal my daughters can do this, but out of the box i noticed it was supposed to be the CR edition with a performance carb, and exhaust, performance adjustable rear suspension supposed to be a 70 MPH bike right of the box after i remove the governor,
Upon first ride seemed pretty quick only had 25% of throttle but the slide in the carb was intentionally made 3/4 of an inch longer to limit the speed for EPA regulations, it was peppy, but i noticed no headlight and tail lights, every website that they did not come with lights it was in big letters DOES NOT COME WITH HEADLIGHTS OR TAIL LIGHTS sold separately for this price, the website says nothing and dont even offer to buy them, when i called them to ask about removing the governor and the lights, he said "does the picture of the bike on the website show lights"i swear to god i said, "the pics on the site are of cartoon nature and not real sir, that made him mad""he would tell me how to remove the governor so i had to call back another day to get that information..
So upon further inspection it was a 2010 bike not a was a plain jane bike from texas " i guess they bought it from another company" no performance parts every bolt was loose, the rear shock was installed upside down, the speedometer did not work, bolts cross threaded and forced halfway in the front brake caliper, basically i had to take the bike completely apart and put back together right, the carb was a regular non adjustable, after removing the governor the bike still only went 35 to 40 MPH, tops, it ran like sh*t after it warmed the carb was off, but there was no adjustment
