Ok, on my recently purchased 2008 Xingyue xy260t-4, just under 10,000 miles. Just noticed what sounds like a bearing or gear howling from the rear transmission. I know there are probably 3 sets of bearings, input driveshaft, countershaft and final driveshaft. My questions are, is it normal for these bearings to fail? Usually these bearings would outlast the scooter, but this is my 1st chinese model. Also, could I be over-reacting to a lesser problem, say, the clutch bearing or are these gearboxes just noisy? I am scared to tear it down because it's my only source of transportation at the moment, I don't have a lot of tools and I would want to have the parts on hand but no one seems to list these bearings by application (maybe Napa/Advanced would have them. Oh I don't know...this is very frustrating. Probably should have thought about all this before buying this thing with no scooter experience (except a 50cc Roketa that NEVER broke). Does anyone have a picture guide for tearing these things down? I know, lots of questions...I am just freaking out I guess :/

It's a Xingyue. and thanks for the suggestions. Looks like I'm gonna have to fabricate a new intake bellows and filter etc. Maybe put breather filters on the vac hoses going to the airbox. This thing appears to be a pain in the to get parts for other than for the engine itself (which is pretty common). After 2011 they went to EFI, so they probably don't make the parts I need Thanks though!

Howdy folks, new forum member here. Just bought this scoot yesterday for $800, 10k miles, needs a bit, but runs and rides ok so far. Specifically I am in need of an airbox and bellows, intake manifold and a windscreen. So far my google searches have turned up next to nothing. Everyone's got parts for my old Roketa 49cc but this one seems to be a trick to find parts for. For me anyways...any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
John
