Hi,
After 15,000 miles i think my engine is on the way out. started with a slight rattling sound on slowing down now its almost louder than the engine. with the bike out of gear pushing forward the drive sprocket actually judders to a clicking noise in the gearbox. i assume this means that a baring in the box is collapsing. so sampler to replace the engine. for 2 reasons. 1, All egos aside is the genuine Honda engine stronger/more reliable than the chines copy version (i do 30,000miles a year on a 125, mostly at max speed) and 2, according to the tech specs the copy engine is 9.?hp and a late model Honda engine is 11bhp. the extra power would be handy. there the same price on ebay to a new Chinese one i take it it should fit without any prob.
