I sat on a GY-5 in the showroom the other day. I found the side panels dug into my inner thighs with my feet on the ground - pretty uncomfortable. The side panels on my GY-2 are more conventional.

Yes they do. I noticed it the 1st time I sat on mine and I liked it. Feels more sturdy to me, but that's just me.

TeamCheap · 05-17-2007, 09:27 AM

I believe I read where the plastic on these bikes is ABS. I used Testers model airplane glue that said it was good for ABS or polystyrene on my Jetmoto 200 and it glued the cracks just fine. Cheap fix. Someone also told me that acetone will melt the plastic and they used it for rebuilding their plastic panels on bikes they couldn't get parts for anymore. Rob in Walla Walla, WASH
