I fixed the web link for you, Racer.

Congratulations on your new bike!

I believe someone recently posted some information regarding how to fix the stripped threads in spark plug holes. If you can get the old plug removed, someone here should be able to help you repair your new motorcycle.

It looks to me like the plug is still intact in the pics. I am sure that it can be removed. If that is all it needs you got a great deal and a low mileage bike.

looks like theres not much on the net about viva . can any one help with the tru identiy of this bike . i'm thinking from a couple years ago it was a rebadged somthing

Cal25 · 08-20-2009, 01:19 PM

I tried putting "Viva" in the search function and got 378 posts. Looked a bit but did not find much. I am sure the info is there though if someone does'nt chime in. In reality it is a Generic GY-2. One post said Tomoto imported them for the US if that helps.

Yes, if my memory is correct, I do believe the Viva was imported by Tomoto.

up date picked the bike up sat . started working on the plug . got it out ya . looked no treads in the hole . OK well I'll pull the head so i can use a repair insert . wrong answer ,dropped a valve big whole in the piston . never mind then . have a new engine on the way . now it's a 1000.00 dollar bike . still pretty happy with the condition of the rest of the bike . other news the original assy was sloppy still has some of the packing plastic on it . I'd post some pics if i knew how . I'm guessing that i better make sure the carb is not running to lean after putting the new engine in
the thought crossed my mind and i didn't spend much time looking into it that maybe a 250 would fit , has it been done

Wow another Kali-legal bike....Go figure.

recracer · 09-07-2009, 09:16 PM

I'll have a new engine before this weekend . it's really on my mind how the last one failed , lost the exhaust valve head and killed the engine . the carb has a 98 jet in it . any recommendations on changing that on a stock airfiter and exhaust ?

Sorry to hear that. That is the downside of ebay sales. But at least your on top of it with a new engine on the way.

Alot of people have rejeted or just changed circlip positions on the jet needle for increased performance and better starting.
I also have the size 98 jet and was able to get away with just moving the circlip down one notch. Its still a little on the lean side but does start better.

I haven't changed exhaust or intake but am pleased with it so far, give the stock set up a chance before dropping a wad of cash.

Let us know when shes up and running!
