In California nothing less that a 250 is legal on freeways.

I just recently returned from a 5300 mile cross country on my Reflex, There were some places that there is no other road that goes where I needed to go. Depending of traffic conditions I had to ocasionally run 65 - 70. When ever possible I took back roads, it is a lot safer and generally (not always) less traffic. I prefer to ride 45 to 55. But I'm an old man with no need to hurry. www.thescooterprofessor.proboards.com/indexcgi?board=discussion&action=display&threads=2751 |

Synthetic oil will lubricate clear up to its flash point of about 475 F. long after dino oil has turned to charcoal.

I replaced the before mentioned JonwayYY250T with a '07 Honda Reflex that had 15,200 on the odometer. I've put nearly 2000 on it in the last two months or so. In about a week I'm leaving on a 5000 mile cross country trip on it. (Sorry, that is a Honda, not Chinese as asked at the beginning of the thread.)

My first was a 1960 Harley Davidson Topper that I bought new in '61.

I got 10,600 on my YY250T before it quit. Apparently they left some loose metal inside the engine and it got the rod bearing, oil pump and shut down the ignition.
Doug says there is zero wear on the cylinder.

I bought a 150 Znen from Scooter Depot, picked it up at their warehouse after they had done the PDI. Good choice. It has never needed anything except valve adjustment.
We bought two quads from Superior and were very pleased with them.
Bought a YY250T from Superior. Other than that they PROMISED me it would be a Roketa 54 B with a Linhai engine, when we got there to pick it up it was a Jonway YY250T which of course has the CFMoto engine. (That turned out to be a bad choice so now ride a Honda Reflex, MUCH more machine.

The first road trip I made on two wheels was from NW AR to Olive hill KY on a Harley Davidson Topper.

There are two tee bolts that screw through the ends of the upper arm into two fittings on the scooter. One on the handle bar, one on the right front bolt for the grab rail/trunk mount. Attachments:
