My wife has a 2001 Kymco Zing 125cc (cruiser style) it used to be her mums it was in a shed for 10 years, new fuel, new oil, new brake fluid and plugs runs like a dream on the original tyre's (although should probably change them) can do 90kph but best to keep it around 80kph top speed. 23 years old and runs, sounds and looks really good. It's actually the bike in my profile picture.
No rust on my ZSB so far except on exhaust. I have stopped this with an old fashioned remedy, painting it over with linseed oil every couple of weeks, pongs a bit when it burns on, but it stops the rust. I painted the bike all over with AC50 when I got it and this has kept the road salt at bay, will re- do it in spring. Thanks for the anthem, I get all the parts for my two Urals from a couple of good suppliers in Ukraine, my heart goes out to them. without them it will be pot luck on Flea- Bay.
thanks Chris. What do you recommend to get rid of small amounts of corrosion that can't just be wiped off, but are not enough to repaint? Great touch at the end
@@Ridingreviews I've had a look on their website and on their news section; I can't see anything mentioning a cruiser. You're not referring to the mantis are you?
My 2017 Milano got sold when I got fed up of waiting for recall to get sorted, mostly ok until last few months. Would have kept it a bit longer had it not Been for the STOP RIDUNG notice. Now got wait for ADV350 to arrive instead
I'm looking to get a affordable reliable and safe 125cc moped for daily commuting. Can you recommend any good ones? Ideally electric but petrol is okay too.
@@kingkal81 anything over 30 miles i would say electric isn't suitable the cheapest bike at the moment is the lexmoto titan but i cant recommend that one maybe the lexmoto aura
what about hanway are the engines good enough to last because there making these bikes faster but my worry is at what price ? I also hear from someone on TH-cam that lexmoto has a problem with a fule cap that's part of the tank , is this true?
one person saying one bike has a issue with a fuel tank doesn't mean they all do most bikes regardless of the name are made in china quite a lot of the Japanese bike are too
@@Ridingreviews I know the Japanese haven't made a bike in there own country in over 25 years I think but I also know cars come with similar problems it's like a weakness certain makers have like Peugeot with electric problems on some car models and fiat with rust and major engine problems so it's only safe to say that bike makers may do the same thing.
I once had a Neco Abruzzi 50, 13,000km failed it’s first MOT on engine mounts, rear shocks to hard and the exhaust corroded through within 3 years. Couldn’t even find a replacement exhaust for it. Nightmare for Chinese bikes
The average lifespan of a 50 cc bike is 10000 miles but yes that bike wasnt made for long this is sometimes an issue with a short run bike we put one of them thru its first mot after sitting for 3 years and 6000 miles and no issue i think i have a video someware on my channel of that one
@Biker the older engines the ohc or pudh rod engines are ok for the lower budget bikes but they lack power but there are a lot of better engines now like the zontes LXR ad neco ones that are dohc and have more power
What i was trying to avoid in this video is china bashing if i had put 1 bike that wasnt looked after then alot of people would of ignored the 3 good ones

cool good on you i hate to see a good bike end up at the scrap yard
@@Ridingreviews we put a new battery as well, the wife shined up the chrome she loves it, it's her little baby

Thanks for watching im glad your bike is all good
Great video - defintely will be useful for prospectiive purchasers. Obviously some of these models will be better than others
Yes this is true generally the cheaper they are the more suseptible they are to coroshion
thanks Chris. What do you recommend to get rid of small amounts of corrosion that can't just be wiped off, but are not enough to repaint? Great touch at the end
Wire wool and a bit of paint you need you crete a barrier between the metel and the weather
@@Ridingreviews thank you very much!
@@rodintoulouse3054 no problem
Love the small addition on the end 🙂
Thank you for watching
Excellent as always.
Thanks for watching
Any opinions on the keeway superlight 125 ltd? There's a dealer near me and they look pretty good.
zontes will be bringing out a better cruiser in the new year i would take a look at that one first if i was you

The recall thin was a bit poor all it was is you needed to check the 2 bolts holding the exhaust
@@Ridingreviews annoying as mine had already had bolts replaced. AJS had ten times as many to sort out

What sort of range do you want to do on it
@@Ridingreviews I only really use it for around town so not much I need really but more the better
@@kingkal81 anything over 30 miles i would say electric isn't suitable the cheapest bike at the moment is the lexmoto titan but i cant recommend that one maybe the lexmoto aura
@@Ridingreviews why is electric not suitable?
@@kingkal81 the average range for an electric bike is 40 miles but in realistic conditions your looking at 30 to 35 miles

My battery hasn’t survived the winter. What battery do you recommend me getting for a 2021 rkf?
Lithium are the best but the lexmoto batterys are all right yuasa are the best lead acid batterys

Gonna enquire if I can trade in my G1 for the 350 GK maybe or prob just sell..
Contackt cheapbikesrus the will part x it
might have been worth showing a chinese scooter or bike that has not been looked after, to show what will happen to it if not cleaned and maintained

Good video. Great work too with the Ukraine anthem at the end.
