Chinese copy of the Honda CRF 450 made in the asiawing factory where they make the Honda. Imported by WK to the UK, they go under many different names through out the world. Honda made them withdraw them from sale in the UK so only 40 in the country and no spares or info, bit of a nightmare cross referencing them for parts. New head bearings come from Gwilli Jone's Tractor Supplies, oil filter from a honda CRf 450 which has a lot of common parts on there earlier models including plastics. So hopefully I won't end up with a expensive garden ornament  A list of names it goes by elsewhere Argentina (Heikon TT450 and Backfire BXF450), Australia (Odes MCF450E), Brazil (Tokens TXR450), Chile (Takasaki LX450), China (Asiawing LD450), Czech Republic (Václav Vizinger VV MX450), Finland (Menopeli LD450), France and other border countries (Upower PZF 450), Germany (Borossi BT 450 LX), Italy (GioItalia 450 Motard), Netherlands (Asiawing LX 450X), Russia (Forsage 450), South Africa (BigBoy SMR450), Spain (Impormotor IMR 450R), Sweden (Monstra 450), United States (Christini AWD 450, CCW Hooligun 450X) |

Damn wrong bearings supplied today looks like tomorrow now to finish it after work. I just checked on the number of Taishan scooters on the road in the uk. There is only 3. Of my Chituma ctm 125 ( honda cg clone) there is 30. My xinling scoot there is only 5 on the road, mine not being one of them as its the spares kit.

Well changed the ignition switch for approx $58( £46 ) took it out in the pouring rain for a blast and stop starting trials lights didi not go off once. Left out all night and most of day today in pouring rain kicked over lovely. Only thing to relace now is the starter motor that does not work (£129 ). |

Those bearings look like not enough grease from the factory. Just like th Jap bikes from the 80's Shame as a few pennies saved at the factory, costs you dear later on

Indeed more cost in time. Got the bearings from my local tractor and farm machinary dealer, good quality ones for £18 the pair.
