Thank You BTwagon for your in depth answer to my question. And to others thank you very much I am VERY familiar with Chinese bikes owning two scooters. I am very experienced with "jury rigged" fixes, for example the mirrors on my 150cc that are legendary for not staying put. I have never owned a Japanese street bike so comparing the two would be pointless. I can handle most issues with this bike and those that escape my prowess will be handled by a very experienced Chinese cycle/scooter tech that also happens to be a friend of mine. I have known how to ride motorcycles longer than some of you have been alive but they were dirt bikes. I only wanted some info on the gas tank and thanx again BT for your intelligent response.

Alleycat, do they still show 2010 as model year or '11?,'12?

Preacher,
Sorry I hurt you feelings but when someone says"I never plan on taking mine off so will I be alright? I would like to know BEFORE plopping my money down. Thanx in advance." then that is a good sign of inexperience regarding motorcycles.
Good thing you have a "very experienced Chinese cycle/scooter tech that also happens to be a friend of mine."
What's the big deal about the layaway?
BTW, I built my first motorcycle at age 12 back in 1954.Vince

I archived this in my Email so I can remember what to watch out for. I also passed it on to my friends at Heluva Scooter here in Oldsmar and they were very thankful for the info. I know you guys are not fans of dealers and usually neither am I but The owners are friends of mine so I get lots of perks like free helmets and Bikes at Cost etc. I will post pics and video when I take possession in about a month. I cant wait! Thanx again.

Well folks,I had an interesting ride yesterday. I hit 3rd gear and bam the clutch cable snapped..I did not panick..I basicly rode the bike in third found a less travelled street to turn onto, and rode the throttle down until it stalled to a stop. Had to have my bro-in-law pick me up with the trailer.Gonna call the scooterdepot today If they are open and get a replacement sent...but I am also gonna look for another cable to use instead as i feel that this is an unacceptable defect. I only have 800 plus miles on it..and there truly is not a reason why the cable should just snap at the tip like that. Freaky moment for sure. Very disapponting as well ,as the weather these past two days were ment for riding..since we have had mostly gloomy weather all weekend, an now i cannot ride. I suggest you check you cables on a regualr basis and maybe even look into replacing them to be safe.

bow,
Did the cable actually break or did the end come off? Can you take a photo of the broken spot?
Thanks,Vince
