Are Chang Jiang 750 motorcycles (with or without sidecars) high maintenance?
YES, YES, YES, they are! Do not buy one if you live outside China and do not have the “know how”, or do not enjoy tinkering with tools. Chang Jiang 750 sidecars require a basic understanding of engines and respect for old technology. If you are in China there are many places that can fix your bike cheaply, if you are in a western country you will definitely need to be able to your own maintenance, understand how motorcycles work, or it will end up costing you lots of money to keep a Chang running. If you do buy one, do note that they all have a bit of oil leaking and all require loving tender care, just like a girlfriend you would want to keep forever. A well built, and maintained Chang Jiang 750 sidecar will provide you endless fun and a poorly put together Chang Jiang 750 sidecar will be your worst nightmare.
