A UM matrix II 170cc with a "broken" engine turned up on my local Craigslist. This seems like a pretty high end unit by Chinese Gy6 scooter standards, with dual disk brakes, factory oil cooler and what looks like projector headlights.
My main concern is the engine. If it's really busted to the point of no return, will I be able to find another big bore Gy6 with the right specs to work with this? Are there any other unique parts to these that that I should be aware of?
I like the idea of a 170, because a 200 big bore should only be a hop, skip and a jump away, since it already has the big case engine. The rear disk sounds like a nice upgrade too.
