Stick with it, linhai300! This sounds to me like on your particular bike, the cruddy Chinese coolant problem bit you a bit harder than most.  When I went to drain the coolant out of my LH300 after 5000 miles, it was near black. I flushed the system out until the water ran clear, replaced the thermostat, and replaced the coolant with 50/50 Dex cool. But I never did have the overheating issues you had. I don't have any trouble with the gas gauge either. But yeah, get the kinks worked out because you are going to love that thing when all is right. And get to know Jim at Sunright, the distributor. Super great guy, patient, and very knowledgeable. |

linhai300, just keep in mind you are dealing with a distributor, and not a dealer, and there is a difference. Sometimes they will take longer to ship things, and sometimes you just gotta call up and say "Yo Jim, you promised me that part three weeks ago- any chance you can get that out soon, buddy?" And he'll usually be on it... It says what Jim's extension is at the first message, and he often picks up the phone himself...
And there are big advantages, in the long term, for dealing directly with the distributor. Be happy that you can with Linhai, cause for just about every other brand, you are going to deal with dealers and pay more. So in return, cut them a bit of slack...but stay on them if you haven't received your part yet. Do it nicely and you will be happy in the long term with them- I certainly am.

Is your coolant circulating freely from the radiator to the engine and back to the radiator with no restrictions? No lines pinched down, twisted, or blocked by something inside? Your water pump is pushing the coolant properly? I had a line where the wall separated and the inside would actually bubble and swell almost shut when it got hot but the outside would slightly wrinkle otherwise it looked fine. Took a little while to figure that one out. Just some ideas.
