What type of Tao 150 is this?

Dusman · 05-26-2018, 09:58 PM

Good evening guys,

I bought this used Tao 150 yesterday for myself and the kids. I figure this is a 150 Bull, but I’m not entirely sure as I’m new to Chinese bikes and there isn’t much identifying information on it. I’ve done the obligatory oil and spark plug change but was wondering what other things you recommend insofar as maintenance is concerned, especially given that it’s a used bike:

There should be a 1/2 inch thick by 3 inch wide plate under the front bumper. That will usually give you the model designation. It is below the black plate.

Thanks Comp. I'm on vacation now. I'll check it out when I get home. I've checked the welds, the chain tension, seals, wire connections, etc. The front lights are shot, almost like they are fractured, but they aren't worth a flip anyways. I'll eventually put a light bar on it for any night riding we might do.

Thanks.

It's an ATA-150-D. Parts are quite cheap and plenteous online should I have any issues. It's amazing how much better it purrs with simply changing to an NGK plug.

A few questions:

1. Would you recommend any Sea-Foam tank additive or anything like that to run through since I'm not sure what type of gas was consistently run in this thing? I only run non-ethanol fuel in my engines.

2. The rear brake assembly is really close to the muffler pipe. What genius designed that? Any ideas on something I can get to push that slightly away from the brake assembly? It almost could use a slightly "S" shaped piece of hard-heat resistant rubber like it has now, but I know of nothing like that to use for the modification.

3. Are there any carb upgrade and CDI upgrade options or should I just not worry about that now?

Thanks a bunch. This site has been such a big help!
