Great info there, thanks. I will have to go through and start tightening with thread locker. I am guessing that includes bolts on the engine itself as I lost one of those that held the overflow drain on recently. As a note to that, has anyone had any luck decreasing the overall vibration on this thing? It seems like there are some bearings on the mounts that should dampen it but they do not seem to work. This seems to be the cause of the bolts falling off, it would be better to treat the cause rather than combat the symptoms.
On performance parts I hear these engines are essentially a gy6 but I didn't see a ton of info on 300cc models of that engine for parts.

Hello everyone,
I recently picked up an Ice Bear 300cc from a local shop here and so far it has been pretty good though I have had some screws vibrate loose which has been a bit of a pain. I did a quick once over on the parts and everything looks alright, just wondering if anyone with a similar model has any warnings on what to double check or what to check every X amount of miles.
Also wondering what kind of luck anyone has had on performance upgrades to these and where/what to look for. I was hoping to get some parts on it and maybe get up to 70 mph to get onto highways (she pulls about 60 on a good day, 55 usually more comfortably).
Thanks!
Dr. Jingles
