hi everyone this is my first post, i recently bought a taishan xt sport from 2wheel4wheel on ebay, i have done just 90 miles and i already have problems. the other day when i went out the electric start wouldnt work which was really out of the blue, then during my ride after using the kick start a loud humming noise was coming from engine. even when i switched it off the noise was still there and when riding a noise almost like metal dragging on the ground was loud. I am only 16 so have no idea what to do! i tried o see what was wrong by disconnecting the battery to stop the noise. i put my key in the ignition and switched it on while the battery wasnt connected and kick started and to my amazement it turned on! is this normal? any ideas on wht could be wrong with the engine? help would be excellent im really baffled!thanks everyone!!

The bike will run with out a battery conected as it generates it's own power while the engine is running. Did the humming noise stop when you disconected the battery? The metal dragging sound couldn't have been your centre stand touching the floor could it?

the centre stand has been fine, but its odd that the dragging sound happened at the same time as the loud humming noise. yes we had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop making the humming noise, it was a very loud sound almost like fan if that helps. the moped worked a rode with the sound.
