First impressions, no real riding yet.

Rubber boot for handlebar throttle mechanism is missing or not supplied.
Fork upper clickers range: left 22, right 18
Starter just grinds, no engine rotation, even w/o sparkpug. Battery shows 12.5V. I really hope its battery related.

Squish >2mm.
Needle N1EF, will use for break in.
Supplied CHN, seems as lean as N3EG at idle and leaner at the tip. Single taper.
Sparkplug denso.
No coolant expansion chamber.

Bike a bit more fiddly for dismantling, polisport tad lower quality than he-bo plastics.

Gear shifting excellent feel.

Have repositioned footpegs to lover position, this does move them at bit forward.
Had to rethread one of the footpeg bracket bolts and its mating frame thread, as they used screw with mangled thread. Fixable no problem.

Chain seems tad short, slack 3.5cm, tyre already rubbing shock protector, and it needs even more slack. (no way to fit 50T on this chain)

Electric cables are nicely sorted, no chaos behind front mask.

When tilting bike left to right at standstil, seems very slow, top heavy. Blame the the battery suppose. Li ion presume is lighter.

That about sums it up. I did arrange a bike to be in a test of a national car bike magazine.
