Kickstand bends easy.poor mirror and gas cap. locking forks never locked.engine runs very good though. | ||||||
| After riding this bike for a couple weeks I had problems with the rear view mirror...it is junk, and would not stay in place when riding, so I replaced it With 2 honda motorcyle mirrors-one on each side. If you decide to replace the mirrors, look for a mirror with 8mm threads-most are 10mm which I used. I drilled the hole in the handlebar mounts bigger and used a 10mm tap to make new threads. The kickstand is ok, but the frame where it mounts is very weak and will bend. The bending will cause the kickstand to move too far forward when it is down, and the bike will fall over if a light wind is blowing. I fixed this by bending it back and welding new metal to the mount area. A side kickstand would have been better on this moped. The wiring for the tail light is under the rear fender, which is a problem if you go over bumps because the rear shocks are weak and will cause the rear wheel to bottom out on the fender rubbing the wires bare. The gas cap is also poorly designed... it is a plastic plug with a rubber ´o´ ring on it similar to a cork. It can be very hard to remove when fueling. Owner. Chris Williams email xris9113@aol.com |
