best electric bike under $500 image
SD
I just purchased a yamaha TTR225 (2002) that does not run. It needs a battery and carburetor cleaning. Being offered a Gongshen 250 (2006) dirtbike that runs and not sure if this is a good trade. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful.
Answer
No.
It is a bad trade.
The Yamaha is a quality Japanese motorcycle. The Gongshen is a Chinese knock off of a Japanese dirt bike.
Brand new the Zongshen/gongshen's sell for just over $1,000...that's BRAND NEW! Used ones sell for under $500. The NADA won't even list Chinese bike prices.

The Yamaha TTR 225 sells for around $1200 used.

Pull your carb on your Yamaha. Clean the jets, jet ports and check the float adjustment.
Clean your air filter.
Put in a new spark plug.
Drain the fuel tank and put in fresh fuel.
The bike should kick start without the battery being replaced. The battery is mainly there for the electric start.

Is there anything we can do to stop the hemorrhaging of our US economy?

It seems with credit being tightened so mightily so that the consumer can't get a loan without having a nearly perfect credit score; and with wages not keeping pace with inflation; and with the price of necessities like food, shelter and fuel rising at extreme rates; is there anything we can do to stop this death spiral?
Answer
This when we the people need to stop living beyond our needs and go back to moderate living standards and stop wasting food and products. Of course a high percentage of folk say that, but don't do it either...the cost...our economy. I for one have cut down on many things and find a savings of around $500 a month and still finding ways to cut back on our house hold spending. We have grown a beautiful garden of our own and that has added to the savings...we spend a bit more on water, but it does not compare to the prices at the supermarket. I put a basket on my mountain bike and use it for picking up things at the grocery store and paying bills...good exercise and it cuts back on using unnecessary gas. Closing the blinds in the house during the day helps keep it cooler when we have to use the air in 100+ degrees and keeping the lights off. We have even bought a evaporating cooler for the days that are under a 100 degrees, it uses no more electric than a fan. Recycling also bring income in, too. This all takes works, but think of it this way...you are making a difference.
There are so many more things that I can write here, but take a look around your home and see what you can do to cut down the expenses in your home first and that will help save you money.
