landrover Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 son thought his were excellant, if serviced regular they are good,look for water in the oil as water pump shaft needs changing often (every couple years) look at throttle under grip if white(not much twist but very full on, if black more turn and smoother power delivery)if your competent at riding trials get it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
