Oh and to add to that they are the most unfriendly things to work on, the ****** stators are pop rivetted in which makes it real easy to replace it =\
You have to drill the rivets out to remove the stator and this is how i ****** my engine, i accidently pushed to hard on the drill and went straight into the crank case. I know i'm stupid, but if the engine was good the stator would've have ****** up, and the stator is not the only thing to go wrong i won't even mention everything else. My engine can be fixed and i will do it eventually, just gotta get around to splitting the crank case and welding the hole from the inside, just hope i didn't hit anything inside =O
But i am going to buy myself a new engine anyway as i'm sick and tired on the ducar sheit, if i had the money for a better bike i'd be more than happy to take the orion to the tip, the frame is overly heavy and the suspension is absolute crap. along with the **** wheels that can bend quite easily if you hit a sharp bump at speed. and i won't forget to mention the tires that go almost bald after 3 or 4 good long rides. the **** rubbers knobs just crumble off the tires
