If you're so knowledgeable, why dont you then at least TRY to buy a 50cc scooter and add 15W40 in it, BEFORE you start posting, because it makes you look mightily stupid when you're going on the aggressive like that, and you have never even tried it!

If you tried it before, you know what I say makes sense!
Been there, done that. Have you?
Clearly not!

Yes I have. But I guess YOU are the Know It All about this .

I collect scooters and have 14 of them from 50cc to 250cc. Do You ??

Don't you STILL live with Mommy and I don't think that you own/have any of them scoots you say you have ??.

WTF

I'm with spandi on this deal.
"Ruby" is a good name.
"Huli jing" is too china cha$ge dropped, name making.

Just look at the frist line in the link you posted on wikipedia.

"in Chinese mythology are fox spirits that are akin to European "fairies."

Thats going make April very unhappy.

Doin't do it Hank!!
And so i leave you with a bit of propaganda to help you out.

Hi Larry
Too late Huli Jing It is and Huli Jing its going to stay
I don't name my scoots, one day they decide to tell me and I have to go with what they say
If you read more on the name they are tricksters and can be both good and bad at the same time
Its a perfect name for my tao which so far has lived up to it
I leave you with these words of wisdom that show my feelings for my new scoot

Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

After being spoiled by April a TaoTao will not come close in comparison . I had a TaoTao ATma " secret 63 " and it did perform better than most 50s with only lighter rollers (8g to 5g ) and a larger main jet . Well day two the piston cracked . I have had around 40 moped , dirtbikes to street bikes and never once had a piston failure . 6 Weeks later the piston erupted into many pieces . Being used to Hondas I learned my China scoot ( first China one ) was no where as good . I decided to do research on the China scoots since I only had Honda , Suzuki and some European rides and I joined the old SD . I had some one reply to my unhappy post suggest I get the AirSal 50mm BBK since I did not want another crappy 63 kit . When I took my scoot back to the dealer ( under warranty ) I told him about wanting the Air Sal kit . Well the scooter gods were smiling on me as he just had gotten in two of the kits . Man it was such an improvement on take off and up hill with the same top end that I was also told it may be the same . I could get there faster and let up off of throttle so I could keep the speed without being at WOT .

When I had 50+ miles on it a drunk guy on a 150cc wanted to race me . He said he would show me what a REAL scooter would do when the light turned green . Man I smoked him big time and it took him over a 1/4 of a mile to catch up with me . He was a little guy and I am 200 lbs . He just barely passed by very slowly .

When I bought the Echarm I wanted to sell the TaoTao . A friend of friend blew up his scooter and needed a running one ASAP . I let him ride mine and he had the cash in hand before he came to a stop . His scoot was a stock restricted one and he was very happy to get mine .

My TaoTao T3 has been hit by a Durango, sold to a girl after I rebuilt it, she wrecked it twice, rebuilt it each time for her and it still runs great! The only remote engine work that as needed on the last repair was a new air box. These things are a Timex.

I'm still doing well with my 2010 Tao Tao CY150. I had to replace the voltage regulator and battery at about 600 Kilometers, and one valve adjustment, but I'm still very happy with it at 7,000 kilometers. So far, only minor stuff.
