What was this clone based off of??
Do we know if it was a old school Honda???

[VinceDrake]

Sort of, the general concensus is they are *loosely* based on the old Honda XL series. But as I understand it, they are pretty much unique to China, and parts do not interchange with the Hondas, with a few notable exceptions.

There's a sticky under DS/enduro called "PARTs, PARTS, PARTS" that has some of the stuff that actually *will interchange.*

Hope this helps

The bottom end is real close to a xl185 by my comparisons.

The other thought is they are based off the cb125 engine.

You should be able to find the part numbers under "Sprockets, 428, 520" in the D/s forum, sprocket numbers and what not. As well, the guy with the knowledge of all things sprocket, would be Bruce from EJ cycles...

There's also a compatability chart under tech info, It's for the gy- and clones.

Yes. Call Bruce at 330-274-0098. He will have the answer and probably the correct part.

You NEED to call him to get ahold of him.
