I have had problems with my bike for as long as i have had it. i treat it very well, never jump it or do wheelies. So far, we have had to weld the frame twice because it broke right off.We have also had to replace the recoil spring and the plastic wheel inside of the pull cord case.The speedometer and the lights on the ignition also do not work.The heat shields on the exhaust both broke. I wish we had of bought a Honda. Both of my friends Honda's are still in top running shape. 1 star only because i had too.
