Disaster

It finally happened. As some of you predicted, the scooter has failed. I was warned that these Chinese scooters are junk. That they will fall apart underneath you. That they are death traps. So I guess it was just a matter of time. On a long ride this weekend, with just over 800km on the scooter, catastrophe struck. A bolt that holds the head pipe to the cylinder fell off, rendering the bike loud. What is to become of it now?!

well as a long time owner of Chinese scooters i can tell you that all you need to do is cut your own gasket and then install it back with some new bolts and this time use some lock-tight its not a catastrophe don't worry its only a 5 minute fix
