zx50 need new motor
« on: October 21, 2010, 08:41:58 PM »
this is my first moped and it requries premix which i was unaware. so for the month i was riding it i had put the oil into oil and not into gas container. sadly this destoryed my motor and likely other parts of my bike i assume due to lack of oil. it seized on me and engine died out one day while i was riding. i need a replacement motor or else it will cost about 600 to fix which is not worth it. was wondering if anyone had any zx50 motors for sale.

sounds like your oil injection wasn't working properly.  is it still under warranty?

nooope bought it used a few weeks ago. i thought a honda dio engine would be able to fit, but the mechanic was telling me it wouldnt work out.

...should be able to look at your tire size specs, molded on the side of your tires...something like 130/70-12... to determine wheel size...
