JamBerryKing Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 i cant think of anything that would fail so spectacularly, and then allow you to keep riding it afterwards. im stumped trying to think of anything useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igingeee Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Quick google search says it could be one of the following;- Engine seizure (and yes posts on BCF tell a similar story and it kept running)- Wheel baring- Breaks- Chain- Engine related bolts (not sure what exactly, < not the best answer)"> < 50 seconds in.

igingeee Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 None of the above!! Transmission slipping was another, darn my inaccurate list I find it somewhat scary that one minute the bike is attempting to throw you off and then next carries on like nothing happened.Glad the OP's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 its not slipping! slipping is a totally different thing the gearbox need opening up to find out what the problem is it could be a number of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 i agree with stu sounds like gearbox if it still under warranty then get it sorted by garage otherwise its a case of doing it on ur own but they are not to hard to work on might even be worth buying complete good engine but check warranty first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wr6133 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If not in warranty I'd find the engine number to get the Chinese engine code (usually 3 numbers followed by 3 letters e.g. 157FMI) then go on eBay and see how much a working used lump is. If it's a common one they can cost peanuts (branding doesn't matter just match the code/type). Swap the engines to get working transport then if you feel like it at a later date open up the knackered one and have a go at diagnosing and fixing. Repairing the engines themselves on Chinese stuff can be a pain, sometimes the parts from what they copied fit but getting actual Chinese internals isn't always easy as the engines are so cheap in China they are basically seen as a single unit to be replaced if issues occur.
