my 2001 yamaha aerox

everytime i fix something more issues come up.
last time it was supposed to be a simple piston ring change but the cylinder was so worn that i replaced it. Fucked up the crankshaft in the process.

any recommendations for a 125cc shitbird under $2k?

How does /scootergeneral/ feel about Taotao? Specifically the 150 street models.

$650 for the whole setup seems too good to be true.

I'm a poorfag who works part time in fast food and goes to community college.

I got this blue smoke when i turn on the scooter the second time in the morning, it's a Yamaha Bw's 125 or Zuma in the U.S

Worn valve guide seals and/or piston rings. Oil is leaking past them where it normally lubricates the moving parts and burns blue.

My brother just told me the same about the valve guides but the question is, do i have to change this valve guides immediately or how much time can i wait to do this?

Hello frens

Nice. Is that the 50? How's it run?

Zuma 50. I haven't had a problem yet. From what I hear, it is much faster than most other 50cc scoots. It does 43mph before the governor or CVT limits it.

I've owned it for 2 years, but only put 1200mi on it so even a Chinese one would probably still be alive.

Rarely do I have the reason to post this, which I made in response to a scooter thread a couple of years ago.

New scooterists, read and take knowledge from my several years of daily scootering, some trips were 120 kilometers, which took me 3 hours because of limiters, in both sun and rain and even frost

When I was about 8 years old, my friends dad had one of these laying around the garage and we would ride the shit out of it when he was too drunk to notice we took it. The first "motorcycle" I ever rode. If i come across a clean one someday, I will buy it.
