Unhappy Buyers Beware Of What You Get111

I bought my 2 stroke from The LA SHOP, note their warrenty is only for 14 days! And i went on my vacation then back! Been riding new mb for two weeks and they will not warrenty their product! So tell all how thinking about buying from The LA Shop not to buy any of their kits! note the clutch is not working at all! I have done everything you can do from adjusting it to taking it, all apart! i have to get a new engine to fix this problem! So if anyone has a spare one sitting around i will buy it from you? Thanks THe Willi

Need a little more info bro, before you lash out again. The clutch is disengaged yeh? are you sure the pin and bearing is in there? is the clutch arm in the right position? How far does it move when ya pull the cable? Have you turned the flower nut?

How have you been riding it for 2 weeks?

will....
the arm with greese in it is NOT the clutch. it is the clutch activation leaver.
the arm presses against a little pin and pushes the clutch pressure plate on the other side of the moter (under the large cover on the right side of the motor).
the actual adjustment is made by tightning or loosening the 'star' nut in the middle of the clutch plate.
be sure to put the little brass set screw in when done.

Willi I see in your 1st post you stated the motor came with a 14 day warranty then you said you rode it for 2 weeks then the problems started happening. Whats the issue with the vendor here? You knew going in there was only a 14 day warranty didnt you? I dont see any efforts stated on your part trying to work with the vendor to correct any problems. My point is that alot of people read these threads and bashing a vendor without merit isnt a good way to conduct your self.
