Hey all. When calling for parts for my sons atv, someone at vmc parts suggested i check out this forum. Anyhow, the bike is a 2013 model. When i got it, there was no branding on it, but it looks closely to a tao tao. Under the forks, it has Lz125-4. Can anyone confirm if this is a tao tao? Also, when i got the 4 wheeler from the guy, the oil dipstick was missing and it had gotten water in the oil. The atv runs fine. But im about to drain the oil and put fresh back in it. Is there anything i should do to flush the engine?

Welcome! I wouldn't flush the engine, but that's just me. I'd use 15W40 Rotella, because it's good with a wet clutch and it's cheap. Run it until it reaches operating temperature and then change it again.
