Just been given a 2005 taishan commuter . not new to bikes by anymeans ( i have a sv650 and a kx250 and ke175 ............) but never had a ped before.
i am also a qualified mechanic at a honda dealer so may be of some use for boring techy stuff . am going to try a bit of cheap tuning on the ped , will keep you guys posted on how quick the old girl will go.
you all seems a good bunch so far.
cheers
phill

Well Hello Chap.
Thanks for the post. Please keep us all informed!
I think these engines are based on an old Honda design

they may well be yamy based BUT the japs were all copying each other in the early days antway, so it could still be a copy of a honda (must admit the engine block looks like an old honda 4 stroke i had in the 70's)
