Taotao ata 125f broken exhaust

SilverBullet51 · 04-27-2020, 01:59 PM

I bought a 125f for my daughter for her birthday, after a few hours of riding the weld from the pipe to the muffler broke. I figured it wasn't a big deal, and took the exhaust off and rewelded it. I took it back out yesterday and after an hour the pipe snapped again. So I welded it again, but I noticed when I rev the engine the spot right at the weld vibrates pretty bad. I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with this particular atv. I have several other Chinese bikes, and I'm yet to see this. Any ideas on a more permanent fix. Anyone else with this atv have this problem?

Check your engine mount bolts. If one is broke... you will get really bad vibrations. The grom-clones with the 125... all recommend replacing the chinesium engine mount bolts.
Cheers!
