ok so i just purchased the zongshen gs200 about a month ago. and everything is fine but im just wondering about a few things happening.
first off after i start it and then go for the first time, its good but then when comming to a stop for the first time ill pull in the clutch and for instance from 3 or 4 ill push down to shift down to first to come to the stop and the engine just shuts off, from there i usually have to coast to the side, put it in neutral and start it up again. this only happens once in a while, could it be because i dont let it warm up enough?
then secondly, Ill be pulling up to a stop shifting down all the gears with the clutch in, and then all of a sudden i try to shift down to first and it gets stuck, the lighted gear number on the guages go blank so i dont know what gear im in and its hard to get into first i usually jsut have to keep pulling up on my toe to go into second or keep pushing down to try to get into first , any idea on what this could be? i know im not in neutral. maybe its related to the first.

Perhaps you need to adjust your clutch. Maybe even though you're pulling it in, it's not disengaging all the way and then you're just killing the engine that way.*
*I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Good luck fixing it though! I'll ask around to see if anybody with intelligence has any advice.

well the bike has alittle over 1000 miles, i dont think its been serviced at 500 mi . Im guessing i need an oil change, and new spark plug, also check the valves. having no idea on how to do this ill probably just have a local place do it. also should i do all this "tune up" before it goes in for the winter or after?

Just for info, when u down shift don't hold the clutch in until u get to first. Clutch and shift thru every gear all the way to 1st.. U have more control over the bike and not the bike controlling u. The bike is lost when u do that u can't shift to first if ur coasting too fast. And yes ur prob not warming it up long enough.
