I've got a 150cc Wildfire/Helix clone that I believe has a rear bearing going bad I can move the rear wheel about 1/16 of an in when holding at 3 & 9 O'clock position. I noticed this when changing the rear gear oil It's got 4900 trouble free miles ( NOT KM'S). Just curious if anyone else had this issue I think I can finger bout how to remove the rear wheel etc. And the best supplier ? Thanx all Dave Attachments:

I justyesterday had to replace the battery in my Wildfire/Helix clone
$48 at the local motorcycle shop
Basic lead acid.
Last one lasted 2 years.
Last winter the battery tender was 'accidently' unplugged and it died a long slow death.
So, what's $48 to bring it back to life and get the girlfriend back on the road and outa my hair.
Money well spent
Meaning, yes, someone on here is gonna go into a long diatribe about this one over that one and the CCA as opposed to the AH and the green grass and the blue clouds and do an extensive cost analysis on how many aluminum cans it takes to create 1 watt of energy...
Meaning, it's a friggin 50cc scoot.
The battery probably is gonna cost more than what's it worth (JK), so, why over anal ize it.
save your money
get the least expensive one
put it in and ride.
And next winter, take it out, put it in the corner and give it a steady supply of go juice.
Just enjoy the ride for now.
Yes, my Goldwing and my Honda Shadow Sabre have gel batteries.
My $300 Wildfire gets a $48 generic black box of energy.

And these.
Of course, there's that damn 97 Mustang, gas pig, and she's got too many tickets to count.
The Bus I'm gonna restore
The Avalon is my daily driver in winter, the Fleetwood in summer.

After I got outa the hospital, I got this.
My plan was to get an old school after I retired.
I was almost killed, so got an old school before i retire, so I can enjoy it now

I just couldn't get the sequence down (stop bike, kickstand down, get off bike) so I got a trike instead.

Look likes it's functional at least. I guess for $35 it's worth a shot. Just didn't want a handle bar tach like my Sabre Attachments:
