it came in a box sayin pocket bike if that helps


i took it out for a caning 2day down some quite roads in the country

was gunnin it when suddenly the power died so i rolled to a stop. after a few mins i noticed petrol pissin out from under the bike.
had a look and there is a clear small pipe commin oiut from the side of the throttle body area and ithe fuel is pissin from there

ive turned off the fuel supply but its still trickling out

the bike is only a month old and this is the 1st time ive taken it out for a while

minimal and i mean minimal its really not worth wasting money on the air cooled versions upgrade and get liquid cooled bikes the power from them as standard is superb new lc bikes can be had for as little as around £200-£250 or you could always upgrade to better built bikes but they start getting pricey my little 4.2hp air cooled grc rsr was like £700 secondhand sold it a while ago now though when i got to fat for racing
