You all know I've taken my engine all apart and back together. What you didn't know is I did it for fun it didn't need a thing done even when I thought I had a wrist pin going bad it was not from anyhting I heard or felt I just wanted to take the thing apart. The wrist pin is fine even though I had to lower my standards to fit the engines. I think the worse thing wrong was one sparkplug kept fowling out so I trash caned it. I did break a rear axle but it was not due to the engine being on the bike when I rebuilt the bike I discovered the rear axle was bent so being cheap I straightened it when I should ahve replaced it.
I can't say I've put money into it either I really haven't had any trouble from any of my bikes.
I do think my bikes have been easy and cheap for me and fun.
So my story of motorized bicycles is a success story.
