Is it true that the local bikers in Beijing do not use 6v engines?
Basically yes, most bikers in Beijing prefer the 12v engines. Many of the local bikers ride their Chang Jiang 750 in very adverse conditions and find it troublesome to have to get on and off their Chang Jiang 750 to restart their engine, especially when going up hill or in wet muddy roads. Many of the 12v engines are converted from 6v by adding the front section on for the alternator and distributor. The starter goes on top where the 6v generator use to be and you get a 12v Chang Jiang 750. We can tell you a list of foreigners that find their 6v a pain and converted it to 12v.
