only had this piece of crap for 3 months and now the clutch shaft is bent, will not start. I have replaced Magneto, CDI, plug, Plug wire, carburetor and still does not Fire up. I GIVE UP!

The company I got it from Bike Berry first said if I sent it back and they got it to work, they would send it back to me on MY expense. I will certainly enjoy watching the trash truck compactor crush this poor excuse of an engine. I am embarassed of the USA, they will not make anything any more.

I would pay gladly pay 600 for something a tade better than a china. Oh wait I just did a Morini with a pipe. No but seriously first china went 5000 miles had to replace a CDI, gas tank leaking out of studs, carb needed a float adjustment. Not too bad second china 2000 miles seal one the crank case at the sprocket leaked. Made that thing scream to a high RPM. Third China I dunnolaff it still has about 100 miles on it

I agree with Pablo... It is what it is, & you get what you pay for!
What kind of quality do you expect from China for only $150.00???
Every 1 out of 5 engine kits that I install has some kind of problem that I have to fix before I give the customer their bike!

My 1 year old 2000 mile made in China engine is still running strong. But I do know that their manufacturing is everything but consistent.

I guess I am still waiting for something bad to happen? I have built six bikes and have had no major problems with the engines so far. Who knows, tomorrow I may have one blow up, but for the price of these kits the engines are almost disposible.
Maybe it's just luck? You can beat skill, but you can't beat luck!
