Advantages: very useful around town

Disadvantages: can be a pain to service/repair

replaced the engine the other week for a customer. he said it was maxxing out at ten. upon examination of the old engine, he had over filled the oil, and it had leaked into the transmission case and onto the belt... what have we learnt? not to over fill skippers >.< it is a typical cheap scooter, built for the soul purpose of getting from A to B. the plastics are cheap and all held together by eachother, which makes it a pain to remove.

despite those problems it is actually a good 4 stroke moped. brilliant pickup, once the carb is sorted, and good top speed. the only thing i dont like is that it has the tiniest air box in the world, with a huge intake into the box, which can get stuff caught in it and cause it to run rich. very economical for a 4 stroke though.

Summary: 6/10
