I see your point Ducati. The Shifters problems could just be cable stretch. I'll run them for a while longer just to see. They are not all that bad. If I just put a little extra pressure on the shifter it does shift. To The gear I want. When I adjust them they work fine for about 50 miles. But then it starts all over again. Most of the time it's on the down shift. I have to go just passed the gear I want to get it to down shift.
The 1st gear is the hardest gear to get into from a higher gear.
I looked over the break cables as well. And did see a little cable stretch as well. So I readjust them.
Other then that, I have moved the shifter outboard (from center). Just enough to be able to install the headlight and computer. Which still left room for my hands on the top of the bar. And did do a retention of the spokes after I got it home the first day.
I figure that the average Wal-Mart bike rider rides only 2640 miles a year. And that's only if they commute to work 5 miles each way. 22 (Days a month)*12 (months)*5 (miles)*2 = 2640 miles. So after the bikes hits 5280 mileage I'll be replacing the Drive gears, Chain, Paddles, shifters/break levers and Handlebars. That well is like two years of use on the bike for the average Joe. Or if something breaks then I’ll just replace that part in that mileage range. Hope you guys think that a good test of the bike.
BTW, the front break calipers stay centered after applying the breaks. But the spring in the rear break caliper keeps the breaks off center to the right side. I tried to retention the spring from the back break, but it did not solve the problem. So I will be replacing the calipers as well after the test mileage. It does not rub the break surface, But it is not right.
