Hi everyone, I'm brand new to site so sorry if I'm going against the grain in any way. I searched the keywords I thought would give me the already asked/answered question(s) to no avail.
So here it goes, I recently got my hands on, what I thought was a good deal at the time, 2 Chinese...? made dirt bikes that say Zongshen on the engine cases that in in ROUGH SHAPE. So ill start with the one in the title as thats the one I have up on the bike stand. Im hoping someone can help me properly identify the make model and model year of this specific bike so I can correctly source/order parts(if it makes financial sense) or begin parting them out with applicable descriptions.
This is what I know; this bike says, as stated before, Zongshen on the engine case, hummer on the swing arm, its air cooled and the top end is seized.....or maybe something wrong internally with the kickstart assembly...Not sure haven't opened it up yet. Thats it thats all I know. 2 stroke OR 4 stroke? The lack of expansion chamber on exhaust pipe suggests 4 but .....I dunno? Is it a 150,200,or 250 cc and how do I know? Can I use the serial # for the identification purposes and how are the numbers & Letters orientated?
As a side note I am not new to wrenching on bikes although I have never owned one of these, I've only ever had the popular brands between my legs KAWASAKI,KTM, YAMAHA, HONDA etc etc. my very first observation with these things is WOW they are HEAVY BEASTS!!! The rear tires are TINY cute, awfully wide for a bike, and plastics seem to be copied from the popular brands but executed Terribly. anyway opinions are like a******* right!?
Anyway If anyone can help with my situation It'd be Most appreciated!! thanks and happy trails
