Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
Gasbike.net advertising says new needle bearings, steel lined cylinder, slant plug head. I get a motor with a straight plug head. So now I wonder is it a steel or an aluminum cylinder? Are the bearings upgraded? No slant plug head. I thought I payed for peace of mind, not so and their email does not work. Bummed

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
Welcome to the Fray,
This is the most inexpensive fun you'll ever have! Don't worry about what you think you did or ddn't get in your kit, based on the advertising. There are no guarantees or peace of mind with these kits...read through this forum and do your prep work! Start the install and go run it. Time wasted on emails is just that; wasted time that you could have spent installing your kit. they're all the same to one extent or another.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm telling you "how it is".
If you fire it up and it sounds like a box full of rocks and falls apart, then certainy complain...until then follow the tips given here and I can almost guarantee "you" will have fun with the rest of us.
NO...You will not be installing it in 2-3 hours. Erase that bit of advertising from your memory banks.
Jim

Having fun and internet FRAUD are to different things.

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
But there is still nothing you can do about it besides install your kit and have fun with it. You will waste time and energy trying to do something about the "fraud". That time would be much better spent riding your motor bike.

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
You chose to buy at the lowest price point! What did you expect?
Again: I'm not trying to be a jerk...but...you will need to have some experience before you can claim that you didn't get what you paid for.
I bought a kit from BGF, I knew it was going to have inferior parts and no recourse...I bought it for the low price so I could have an engine to experiment with. Some of the parts were junk, but I completely feel like I got my money's worth! It was cheap...I got what I paid for.
I've talked to several people who are veteran MB's that bought a kit from gasbike and they all agree that although the quality isn't all there...it is a usable kit that is well worth the low price.
I'm not advertising for them, and I probably won't use them for my builds, but I'm sure you got what you paid for. Fraud is a silly word to use here...It can all be misconstrued as FRAUD, 80cc engines that are really 70cc, install claims of 2-3 hours, universal fit...etc. They're all basically the same, and fun. Just leave it at that!
Jim

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
I highly doubt the claims of a steel lined cylinder- it would be the first one know to exist on these type of engines.
I invited that guy to come visit out forum, but he took a month to respond, and the e-mail he used was a non-returnable address.
You may leave a review in that part of this site, to let others know of your (negative) experience with this particular seller.
These engines are all pretty much the same- cheap, inconsistant, poor quality control, and iffy at best.
But ain't we got fun?
Fo'sho'!!!!

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
At least you got a box with an engine kit in it.
How long did it take?

Re: Right now I have been two Stroked by gasbikes.net
Then don't buy from them.
Once was enough for me.
Really, give up on this China stuff, get something better.
