finally got all plasitcs off, all welds are solid, frame is definitely not about to break. I could still flex the frame but it was clear the whole frame was flexing. there is no weak spot.
I think my last scooter must have had a cast aluminum frame which isnt flexible
best to not worry about it I guess

Mine is totally silent and I want one that makes noise
I'll trade you relays... pm me if you find it and are interested, and we can see if they are compatible

hey guys,
I got plasitcs off and yep, the stem nut was really loose, tightened it up, it helped a bit
also the brake rotor bolts were hand-tight, an accident waiting to happen there!!!
BUT!!! The frame is STILL way too flexible. I can still bend the whole scooter if I try! I don't think this is right. With the plastics off the front it looks like the weak spot is underneath below your feet. going to tear those plastics off next and see what i find.
I'm starting to regret my purchase, hope I get this figured out

I sat on the bike and if I push and pull the handlebars really hard it looks like the whole scooter bends a little, not just the handlebars. I assume this is not "normal" and other chinese bikes dont seem to flex like this. My Kymco didnt do anything like this. I hope I'm wrong and this has an easy solution but right now does not seem like suspension or handlebars loose.
I haven't figured out how to get all the plasitcs off yet but looks like I have to

did some reading, some one else said you can get gas in the charcoal canister from over filling
just wondering if theres fuel in the cannister, will it ever come out on its own or do i have to drain it out.
Also I found a post that says if valves are tight then vaccum is low, is low vaccum what causes the engine to stall. wonder if i could check that with a vaccum gauge. i have one some where.

tank is lower than the carb its under your feet when riding. so it must have some kind of pump?

Hey guys,
I appreciate this board since they dont seem to judge you for buying a chinese scoot. yes I knew when I bought it that I quality is not top notch and I might have to work on it a little I'm fine with that.
So I got a 150cc scoot, Jonway brand, its a Ruckus clone. First ride the scoot when I hit the brake I swear it feels like the whole frame is flexing an inch or so, I feel the handlebars move forward. I never got that feeling with my old Kymco scoot which felt 100% solid.
I took some of the plastic off to look, I see nothing obvious, no cracks no bad welds.
Just wondering if this is a common thing with chinese bikes or if I should not ride the bike until I get to the bottom of this.
If its not the frame then what else I should look at.

Hey
I see others have similar problems, not sure if mine is the same
I just bought a 150cc Chinese scoot, 72 km on it so far. Warm day today (80F) so did some riding
I got to this long steep uphill, a couple miles long. 40 mph speed limit so kept her near WOT most of it, halfway up the scoot lost power so I turned off the road and it dies. After 5 min she started up again. At first it would just idle, if I twisted the throttle it would try to die. Then in a few seconds it would rev again and I took off.
Cruised up the hill again and near the top same thing. 5 min later got it going, rode 20 km or so no issues, normal riding.
Then another long uphill, not WOT. Near the top it lost power again so I immediately stopped and it did not die, just idled and like before it would bog and not rev up. I let it idle for a few seconds and it ran normally again, then rode home.
So yesterday I did overfill the tank, but I did try opening the tank during one of the stalls did not seem like there was vacuum in there. If over filling caused my probems how do I fix it, the tank is no longer over filled after riding 30 km today.
I see adjust valves but would valves cause this. it feels like fuel starving
have other unrelated problems will make another thread.
