Thanks and you're both right........I'm very close to buying one and it is an excellent price......heck you'll spend more in China to buy one than here. My wife likes the bike and don't let the scooter fool you....she's ridden her Kymco over 300kms in a day trip and darts thru Manila traffic like a pro.

Two Things scare me:

!. The absolute lack of dealer support...by that I mean no knowledgeable
mechanics and the extreme difficulty in getting any parts from the dealer.
Including basic items such as oil filters,etc....

2. My utter lack of mechanical ability


I've read Riceburners account of his trials getting his RX3 to run correctly.
The scary part is I've met numerous Filipino "Mechanics" who make the problem worse.......just like in his case with the carburetor. In reading Riceburners posts, it's obvious he has a measure of mechanical skill which I do not possess.

Nevertheless........I'm retired with too much time and not enough hobbies. Therefore I'll take the plunge and be looking for your guidance in the future.
Now.....where do I buy tools? Cheers
