Ok, here is a well used hard ridden EZM Q Matic busted in half. Ok I did it! I will post to this and I will make it clear. I caused this failure.
Do not read this and assume that the EZM Q-Matic is a poor product. It is not. I infact own two of these and I like them both!
This dammage was done by my own improper instalation two years ago. The instalation was corrected.
This Q- Matic recieved much dammage from accidents cause by the improper instalation of the engine. (Mounts not secure -shifting) The engine mounting issues were resolved more than a year ago. The stress and metal fatague casued by thousands of miles being travled fianally caused this old girl to give out.
Be clear, I ride it like I stole it. This bike runs 45mph and I have no idea why engine has not blown up yet. I seriously doubt EZM saw me comming when they designed this wonderful transmission for the HS 49cc 4 stroke. It is my opinion that it is my boched early instalations, my ridding style, and early mishaps caused this failure.
99cc Predator ran wide open more often than not.
I will first attempt to repair the failed back plate. And after I fail I will order a new plate from EZM and put this JS back on the road. EZM Q Matic is worth the money and it is well worth repair!
