    Chanley,

    That's an interesting bike you have there! Where are you from?

    Your bike looks like it's a mixture of many bikes... sometimes we call these "Franken-bikes".

    The engine looks like a Honda based engine but getting a second opinion on that would not be bad.

    What's the first 8-digit of the "VIN"? I may help u to decode who made the bike & the engine was made in-house or out-sourced by comaring infos in chinese pges.

    This would certainly help, having the first 8 alphanumerics of the VIN.

    Chanley02 gives the engine as 163FMI, which is a single cyl four stroke air-cooled 125cc unit - yet he says it's 200cc. Can only think it has a big bore kit fitted? Mmm....as CC says, a Franken-Bike! Unless the engine no. is 163FML

    Chanley02, it would help even more to have the make and model numbers from the V5 and check engine no is 163FMI and not 163FML.

    Over to you Bro.

    it mght just be a 125 im not sure to be honest im only going on what the person said it was im thinking its a skyteam 125 from what ive seen i only have 1 side plastic and 1 tank plastic i saw a set the same on ebay and he said they was for a crf or skyteam ill check number on engine again for u where on the bike would i find the vin on frame i had a good look but never found it but ill look again.
    as it could be a L at the end its just hard to make out if it is a L at end does that mean its a 200cc.

    I knew you were in Britain, I recognised the rain.

    Sometimes on engines, the displacement is marked on the bottom of the cyliner, under the cooling fins. Failing that a pretty good guess could be had by measuring the depth of the piston stroke, this can be done by shoving a rod through the plug hole and moving the flywheel to the bottom stroke, or remove the cylinder and measure the wear mark on the cylinder wall and measuring the diameter of the cylinder use the formula for measuring the volume of a cylinder. Yeah a bit of a job, but at least you can scrutinise the rings at the same time.

    I think there is another method one can use too, involving fluid, either measure out 125cc, 200cc or whatever of oil and injecting it into the spark plug hole, if you bung in 200cc, and don't all fit in, you know what it is not. Or inject oil in, until it gets to the bottom of the spark plug hole, then suck it out, ( with syringe or similar), into a fluid measure. To get the oil out, crank the motor, it will eject most of it, all over the place, shove in the plug and run the motor if it will run, might have to clean the plug a few times from being shorted out with oil, but when it fires and runs, the blue smoke will tell you it's burning off, either that or just let the residue drain through the rings into the sump.

    Looking at the bike though, I am thinking pit bike here, or an early version of it, they I believe run with 125, 140,200, 250 cc capacities, perhaps try asking on a pit bike forum.

    It's just I can't find any listing on the Chinese data bases for a 163FMI (the 'I' is for a 125cc). But there is one for a 163FML - the 'L' is for 200cc or just under.

    So I guess you don't have the V5? Bummer.

    Problems are fun.

    Vin number, well on mine, it is on the headset tube where the steering is, dotted in vertically. If it is there on yours, it might be under paint judging by what you said about it looking like it has been repainted. It might be helpful if other members say where their vin nunber is on their bikes of different manufacturer, so you can get ideas of where to look
