Newby looking for some tech info
As the name implies, not new to bikes , but have been bikeless for ten years (yikes)
Anyhow I have been smitten by the Roketa DB-03 (Terminator 150 etc) and am on the verge of purchasing but........ I really want a bike with a push rod engine (and I don't care whether that seems rational) Anyway, the couple online dealers who actually answer my questions tell me it's overhead cam - although there is no online manual that I have seen with an exploded view. So, do any owners out there know for sure. If it is indeed OHC, I will instead look for a 200cc model, but how can I tell which ones are pushrod? Your help is greatly appreciated. |

Welcome Ascot(a cool bike in it's own right)
For what it is worth I have a jialing Viva 200sx enduro and it has a pushrod engine, I think the Lifans do as well,probably other china bikes additionaly Joe V |

justjoe,
I had not heard of the jialing, are they available in the US? I see they have a water cooled version - very intriguing. |

Welcome, ascot!
Maybe you already found this, but here is the link to the exploded views of the engines. http://www.chinariders.net/modules.p...iewtopic&t=923 The (Jialing) Viva's are available at www.atvsimports.com for one. :wink:

Ascot, just out of curiosity, how come you are shying away from the OHC motor??

The only bikes that I know of right now are the Roketas that come with the OHC engine. I know Lifan makes a "race" engine that sells on eBay that's OHC, but I have yet to see one in a DS.
I believe the 150cc is a push rod that you have. Jason

Fatboy, that 150 IS a Roketa. It might well have the OHC. Didn't someone on here just buy one of these like a month ago. They would know which motor it is.

My only reason for avoiding the overhead cam is that I love simplicity.
My first car had a pushrod six. With a pushrod engine you don't have a cam chain to deal with. Anyway, the guy at discount rides assures me that it is OHV-pushrod. Anyone have suggestions/experiences with another online dealer? |

Here is a lengthy discussion of engine models and their status as ohv or ohc, pushrod on thumper talk etc.:
http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/arc.../t-365287.html I have a Roketa db-05 with a 167fml. With a pushrod engine. You may not be able to find out what engine your getting until you get the bike however. Drop shippers never know as much as dealers do. Good Luck trying to figure out which one to get!! NET

I have a 150cc, but still going through the exploded views of engines, with dial up. ///////unless you live near Toronto it doesn't matter, XingYue probably isn't what you want. You can always take a look at daymak.com.
Mainly pit bikes, but they have a 150cc canadian cheep. |
