oh for real

well i will buy it from you for $100, i kinda need a liquorcycle.

i can fix it for you as well but that would have to be after exams if no one else gets to it first.

... how much?

4/26/2006 12:43:56 AM

depending on what you wan to do with it, whether you want a new top end installed or if you want to try to lubricate it first. also it depends on whether you bring it over here or i have to pick it up. defenitely nowhere near 500.

also, is it four stroke or two stroke? (do you need to mix oil in your gas?)

[Edited on April 26, 2006 at 12:50 AM. Reason : i might even give you 150 for it man i need a liquorcycle bad]

4/26/2006 12:49:52 AM

the oil doesn't (as far as I KNOW.. I mean) mix directly with the gas... but maybe it does and thats how i fucked it up... but there are definately two different spouts.

4/26/2006 12:51:48 AM

ok it might have a oil injection thingie.. but you are saying there is a dedicated oil tank which you have to fill up every once in a while? also does it sound like a weedeater kinda and have blue smoke come out the tailpipe. does the exhaust pipe have an expansion chamber (he big fat thing before the muffler kinda like in the pic below)?

4/26/2006 12:55:42 AM

I never have seen blue smoke... but mostly sounds like a weed eater... except when the exhaust pipe was broken haha..

There are pictures in my gallery now, maybe you can decipher something from that.

allright thats a 50 cc 2 stroke

looks like the parts alone could be around 100. i would need to research it a lil more. isnt someone's dad a vento dealer? 69?

these are official vetno prices.. plus shipping

ebay may have some kind of chinese knowcoff cheaper like the one incognegro poined out. qualitywise im not sure how inferior they are cause vento is not exactly honda either

4/26/2006 1:33:13 AM

well.. I don't know what to do.

4/26/2006 1:39:11 AM

bring it by sometime so i can look at it, and i can mess with it when i have time for fairly cheap, if you take care of getting the parts it needs. i seem to be doing a lot of these things lately, usually either the piston seizes, or the magneto/strater grenades
