I just spent time on the powersports site,the quads look preety good,but who knows?i emailed them and asked who makes their quads?Im looking for parts for my baja buggy right now,its preety tough,i havnt found the parts i need to make it usable,i thought about buying a baja 90 for my kids but you know that saying about being burned once.its so bad i may buy two quads and park the buggy until i can find a donar motor,mabe from a dirt bike to put in it.Funny the powersports site had more baja parts on it for sale than the home page of baja motorsports.

I know some Bajas are made by Heinsiem, if that helps.

Someone here will be able to steer you in the right direction. These have many common parts, so what you need is out there, it is hard to find because you cant pick it up to compare.

I am looking at a new ATV and it is supposed to have an Zong engine. Let me know your thoughts. Cost is $1200 delivered if the dealer is accurate. He is offering me a price break just to try it.

My Gio Beast has an air cooled 200 Zong, and it's a reliable performer. Since the Roketa is only making 12.5hp, I don't see the need for liquid cooling; it's more stuff that can fail, and the air cooled version has never let me down.

TheRealWorld · 02-22-2010, 12:43 AM

Yea, I agree but I was impressed by the overall deal. Thanks for your comments.

I bet the 12.5 is a bad spec. Probably 12.5 kw and about 16hp.

The top end looks like it was slapped onto an air cooled bottom end. I don't think I would jump at it.

Thanks for the input, I will do more research!

katoranger · 02-22-2010, 11:56 AM

I am skeptical. It really doesn't look like a well thought out engine. I would stick to air-cooled.
