Hello all,

I have had my Zongshen 200 GY2 for over a year now and have been very happy with it - until recently when I was out for a cruise and whilst at 50-60mph cruise the engine did the following things:

1) The engine "felt" like it had kicked down into first gear -
2) Very high revs +
3) Rapid deceleration +
4) Followed shortly by the engine dying.
5) Upon inspection, the engine was roasting hot.

After trucking it back home and letting it cool down I restarted the bike - the engine runs and appears to give out full power but there is now a distinct "tapping" sound - so could be the valves.

Anyway, took it to a repair shop and they say that the timing chain has been stretched.

My problem is, the bike IS under warranty but looks like that doesn't mean jack because Zongshen simply don't have any parts and are unwilling to co-operate.

What can I do??? Does anybody know of ANYONE with a timing chain for the 200 GY?

The manual says the part number is:

1532B-L067-0000

I greatly appreciate any help that you can give me! My bike has been in the shop for over 2 months now! I've stuck driving the "loaner" about and it's a scooter!!

HELP!
