picked this up last summer after it had been sitting in a garage for 8 years as a non runner after a day of cleaning carb and getting all the rust out of the fuel tank then fitted a new battery it was back running so picked up a used seat off ebay after the old owners dog had been eating the old one was using the bike for the last 5 months with a ebay special cheap 70cc kit was doing fine for the rideing i do around town and one time a month i would ride down to see some family 50miles each away the other night i was rideing along the sea front ( i live next to the beach ) and started getting a bit of bottom end knocking so pulled over and pushed the bike back maybe half a mile so started stripping the engine down as my plan was to do a stroker build after the engine killed it self anyway after getting the variator off and to find bits of it everywhere removed the crankshaft to find the flywheel side bearing was fine but variator side bearing was still spinning fine but makeing some bad sounds but the main thing what i dont get is the bottom end did not have any gaskets on just instant gasket to sill everything lol i have ordered a new set of 1E40QMB cases the rear disk model as mine are just drum rear waiting for them to get here then in the next week or two i will be ordering my self bearing , seals and gasket set along with a stroker crank tho still working out what size to go for but thinking about the 43mm stroker crank

sorry for the lack of updates on the build i got out of work 2am last night to find the bike had been stolen after checking the local hot spots for bikes getting dumped i got the bike well whats left of it looks like they stripped neary all the panels off and speedo so all i can think is they have the same bike and just needed them parts as was not hot wired or anything now with the bike like this im thinking just to go naked

That sucks. Naked equals more power to weight though.
That video sounds horrible. 😬

sometimes things will run, and run and run when you think they should be gone a long time ago . bummer about all your plastic , sorry to hear that . some people just don't get it . your black was good looking . I guess my taotao plastic won't fit something else . I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it . I guess toss it eventually . not done yet but here's my naked 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/24876/conversion-150cc-digital-led-boot
