Chapter 7: Qlink XF200 Demand Surpassed

Well it is anticipated to be short lived, about 2 weeks roughly, but dealers stateside are running out of the Qlink XF200. The demand for this awesome, priced right, extra fun (that is what the XF in XF200 stands for) 200cc supermoto has exceeded expectations. Although there is no official posting of the shortage here is the official Qlink website.

Quite honestly they really don't have there act together as far as accessibility and updating the website. They have a section for news but it has not been updated in the 6 months I have been following it. They don't even mention the XF200 in that section. To me that is surprising. Although they did add a new dual sport model, the XP200 and updated the prices in that timeframe. I am not sure if they understand the importance of the website. I have contacted them about aftermarket parts via email. It took them about a week to respond in broken English and very abruptly said do not call them call the dealer. I got the same response when I called them. A secretary who also spoke broken English and referred me to my dealer. I believe I called Texas as that is where one of the 2 main warehouse are in the United States.I don't have anything against broken English, just passing on my experiences. The lady seemed quite surprised when she asked me If I was a dealer when I replied no. Like they have not had any calls from individuals.

Now when a piece of body plastic broke when it fell over in the truck when being delivered to my house it only took a few days to get it replaced. My dealership JP Motorsports has been great.They are very interested I feel in a strong commitment to the XF200 and some other Qlink products. Don't get me wrong they sell all the Japanese stuff too!

So anyways, this shortage should just be a little blip in the new budding North American expansion For Qlink.

Chapter 6: Reflective Black Numbers

What do you guys think of the new look? I could not wait any longer to get those stock graphics off the motorcycle. I would have left them if they were the same as the Qingqi or the Sundown (they have the same graphic kit). Something about the graphics on them I really like. I added some black reflect white numbers from Reflectively Yours. I worked out an arrangement with the owner for everyone who mentions me, volksjagger, and my blog Qlink XF200 Supermoto Blog'd will get a free extra bonus gift with your order. I love mine. They are made from high quaility 3M materials.



I also want to point anyone interested to this thread at supermotojunkie. The thread has a lot of different posts about the XF200. There are plenty of haters there. Those of use interested in the bike just ignore them. People seem to be a little more rude Online. None of them have riden the Qlink. SuperMotoJunkie. Hope you enjoy it.

While I am posting links to different websites, I want to include the site to the my dealership where I bought my Qlink XF200. It is JP Motorsports. Be sure to see Smitty and tell him volksjagger sent you!

Chapter 5: Qlink XF200 Exhaust Upgrades and Modifications

Someone has showcased this muffler on a Sundown in Brazil. The Qlink is known as a Sundown STX in Brazil. I have searched with Portuguese translations and even posted on the You Tube site as "flybywifi" where the posting was made with no luck finding where to by that "Storm" exhaust. If you look really close in the video the logo says "Storm".

If any Brazilians out there could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated. I look forward to it.



I do know of an exhaust that has been used on the XF200 successfully. It is the Pro Circuit 496 slip on muffler. It goes for around $400. I will go that route if need be, but that Storm exhaust has to have a better price! I guess we will all have wait and see.

I also know of 2 different people modifying the stock exhaust. One guy tytnpwr just took a long drill bit and stuck it into the exhaust port and drilled into the end of the muffler all the way to the pipe. He claims it made a big difference in the sound and performance. I might have him do it to mine before buying an aftermarket. The second modification is a bit more elaborate and requires more tools than the average joe would have handy. Here is what gdavis2265 did in his own words, "Ditched the airbox and installed a K&N, cut the back end of the pipe off, gutted two baffles and pop riveted the stainless end cap back on.". After asking him to elaborate on this here is what he said "You have to slice the end of the can (angle grinder with a cutoff wheel, my fav tool) - that's the easy part. Then you have to work a screw driver around the edges of the baffle, prying the edge away from the inside of the pipe. Then use a chisel to cut the welds. Lots of work. Might be worth buying a slip on. I just like to make life hard for myself."!

Chapter 4: New 135 Jet

I now have my carb re-jetted. My buddy tytnpwr put in my new 135 jet from a stock 122.5 jet. He made some other adjustments to the float and also to a pin in the carburetor. I will consider this post a rough draft until I talk to him to get the details.

Instead of drilling holes in or removing the airbox, I took off the airbox cover. That has made the bike sound really aggressive. It is much, much louder and compliments the new jet perfectly. The supermoto has changed it's tune!

We attempted to swap out the front sprocket but it was not possible. I was given some bad information by the dealer. They claimed the front sprocket was a 13 tooth, which they upgraded to a 14 tooth on the salesman's XF200 to give it better top end. Come to find out there is already a 15 tooth sprocket stock! So I will have to return the 14 tooth sprocket I ordered to get a 16 tooth front sprocket. So needless to say, disregard the sprocket part number previously mentioned in an earlier post.

I now have over 725 miles on the Qlink XF200 supermoto. To get the work done today I rode 60 miles round trip. All but 3 or 4 miles were highway. 70 mph at 8000 rpms all the way. One really, really big hill and several other hills at highway speed and it was not a problem. Someone (a very well traveled 200cc rider in China) mentioned to me that some big hills may be an issue with this 200cc powerplant. Glad to see they were wrong (in his defense, in China, motorcycles are prohibited on most of the highways).

I still want to get that front sprocket done. This is one of the downsides of a new bike. Things are trial and error. More research is in order. I am eventually going to do the rear sprocket as well but that will need to be special ordered. Tytnpwr has already done his but it was more of an ordeal than I originally understood. I will be tackling that in the next month or two. Tytnpwr rode my bike today and said that with the new 135 jet my bike was faster than his with stock sprockets! I bought 2 135 jets so he will be putting one in his next week. Although it is unclear whether top end is better since he just took it down the street and back.
