Welcome Dave!!....i'd say don't rush, shop around...but yah, i personally don't have issues with my liquid cooled scoot. i love it, it permits me to do long rides without worrying about overheating,as compared to aircooled scooties.. good luck!

well i really wish and pray that the chinese's will improve the quality of their scooters and ALL the products that are chinese... in these hard times people still want to buy cheaper scoot that fit their budget. but its been 40 years now they still didnt improve, i dunno whats preventing them(chinese people) from making quality products, i dont think its monetary because china as a whole is a very progressive country now, i think it's their mentality, values, PROFIT the the only thing in their minds. and as a theory, mass production of anything jeopardizes the quality. if kz will agree with me, i promise to drop this chinese scooter issue and never mention it again.

brake job
by: Luke - Jul 25, 2013 12:07:00 GMT -6
Post by Luke on Jul 25, 2013 12:07:00 GMT -6
if you disassembled the brakes and the caliper etc, you should also see if the piston moves in and out freely, and if the rubber bilet(shoe) is still intact,this bilet prevents dust and sand to get inside the piston./ and or the oil seal is still intact. they normally use double lip type oil seal, i dunno maybe chinese used only one lip...better get dipper into the problem., you'll learn along the way...good luck!!!

yeah, 250cc up is considered a Maxiscoot...
i dunno why people buy 150ccs??? for me if you are unsatisfied with 50cc, then get a 250 right away. 150? sish!! ;-X

uhm,,, ahem!! cough cough, ...move over guys,if you'll excuse me, i need a heart to heart talk with bob here.....as an Arizonan, bobf and i breath the same air and pretty much eat the same food (buritto).LOL!!.. first of, on saturdays i start my scootering as early as 4:45shh am, when the sun starts to peep., i ride in about 3-4hrs,until probably 8-9 when the sun begins to be punishing. ...i don't wear helmet at this time of the year( i knaw i'm lunatic) but i think for me it's fine cuz there's not much cars around as early as 5-8am in yuma. plus my max town speed is 35shh... if your'e not really comfy of not wearing a helmet at all, and wearing close type helmet makes you really hot inside, i mean you won't die in a crash but in hyperthermia, it's much worse., there are some bicycle helmets that are thick and has big holes(breather in it),it can protect your skull and it's well vented., or half helmet isnt bad... i always bring small re-usable water spray containers, and bottled water., make sure that you wear THIN, WHITE cotton long sleeve shirt, the Hanes brand is the best.. rule of thumb: NEVER NEVER wear dark colored shirt in Arizona during summer(and i mean from june to august),or you'll end up in the emergency room. ;-X i always ride my bike to work, and as soon as i arrive at work in the morning i put my 3/4 helmet inside the ref, in the afternoon,it retains the coldness until i reach home..12miles. 2 things i really bring when i ride , sunblock and super dark sunglasses. hey bob, you need to join the Amerivespa june 27 - 30 in San diego if you can. it's Fun,,,can't wait.
