Hi: I have a zx50 with 8500km. Last friday I kicked over the scooter and idled for about 10 min. I didn't have time to ride but wanted to see if it would...
... I don't know who makes a ZX50, but I assume it's a 2-stroke. Yamaha? Anyway, do a compression check. 8500km is about when the rings will wear out. hth -Vic...

This has to be the cheapest adult sized large Scooter. At $500 it has 20 inch tires. What would it take to make it street legal ? Being sold at PepBoys auto...
... Interesting. Off the magazine pages and onto the real world roads of the 2003 Iron Butt ride, BMW was by far the least reliable brand ridden. Nearly half...

Well, step one is taken care of. The fact you have spark means the CDI unit hasn't gone bad, a fairly common problem in the earlier Kymco ZX-50 from what I...

I repeated my steps and pulled the plug instead of using an inductive pickup. The plug spark is very weak and this is using a 14 amp motorcycle battery. When...
I have the service manuals for an X9 and a Burgman 400. Valve adjustments on the Burgman appear DIY friendly. The X9 manual indicates rear shock removal so as...
