Ok... so a newish neighbour called in and introduced her self and noticing the bike infestered garage asked if I fix bikes.

Now Tess brought a Fierce 50 (50QT-22) from a local shop... now they have done a runner due to crappy bikes and very dodgy sales.
Right from the start Tess has had problems with this bike and now it simpily wont start and when it does go its not sounding well from what she says (dosnt help the teenage son has filled the sump to the top)

Ok... it is a 4 stroker and very hard to work on so what I am wanting to know is any info on this bike as to me it seems like the lemonest lemon I have seen and would like some info before throughing spanners around the garage.
Like may be I should just dig a hole and bury it... pitty as it is a new bike.

Apparently they are a 50cc fourstroke. Make peak power of 2kw at 6500rpm, giving it a max speed of about 50km/h (manufacturers claims*). Electric or kick start. Hydraulic disc brake, with room for a pillion's helmet. Not that it will help you with the problems, but they are available in Red, Blue, Yellow or Silver.

Other than that I don't know much about them.

Thats was what I was kinda thinking having had a look over it...the bike from new has been nothing but trouble, kinda dont want to tll Tess this as hes a strugling mum and could do with the thing going or sold.

Fucks me off that wankers like the guy selling theses bikes (that did do a runner) arnt accountable for there shitty dealings, bet ya he still made some dollars from the sales.comeon D, no engine is unfixable
But if it's insured id go for the dig a big hole option

I think your bike may be one of the models here : http://jinjie.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008818243514/Homepage.htm

They have contact details but I think it may be tricky to get parts here.

Try the obvious, particularly if it has been overfilled with oil - ie new spark plug, fresh fuel, check compression.

Lots of junk like this is sold on trademe, the sellers say "you can get parts anywhere" - yeah right !

The air in the tyres is half the value (petrol in the tank's the other half!)

Rather than fix a real piece of shit motor couldnt you get a cheap 50cc motor from a crashed scooter in a scrapyard and weld on/bolt on some new mountings and fit it? If the brakes, wheels, frame etc. are sound enough maybe it would work?

Hmmm, a 50cc motor cant be worth much, if anything.
Mind you, with the cost of some 50cc scooters may as well just buy a new one.

I double the value of mine everytime I fill the tank :)
That being said its fine for around stokes valley/lower hutt and I used it for my BHS :scooter:
It also has a good top speed for a 50cc, but just takes to long to get there :(
