Terra moto is the second generation thumpstar.
Copied this straight off the thumpstar website.

Thumpstar was established in Australia  by Timothy Hunter in 2004, he signed with a Taiwanese Company to help build the bikes and used a Manufacturing Plant in China and it all took off from there. Selling over 35,000 Thumpstars in 13 months and having dealers in over 20 countries, the success was short lived due to many counterfeit Thumpstar’s and problems with some of the dealer’s in other countries, things then came crashing down. Tim then decided to start fresh with Terra Moto, which by this stage everyone else was is in on the Mini Moto Pit Bike craze and brand just didn’t take off like Thumpstar.

 

Early 2010 Hornet Industries PTY LTD gave life back to Thumpstar, with two important goals, 1. high quality and 2. competitive pricing.

Basically the brand was a flop. Spare parts will be impossible to find. Unless theyre the same as another bike out of china.

It'd just be a Ducar or Lifan 125 ?
What's the enigine code stamped into the case below the sprocket ?

And a brand new Lifan 125 engine is only about $230 inc delivery

 

[roostyamates]

yeah seen that on there thanks though

 

[roostyamates]

not sure of the engine code but will try find out.
pretty sure they run a Jialing Engine, well thats what i found online, i will put up a pic of the bike, i think if i can get a gear box replacement it wouldn't be bad for $200

 

[roostyamates]

only pic i have at the moment have requested more

 

[my67xr]

I reckon that engine isn't the same as the Jialing 125 that i've seen, it has a front clutch.
But i'd say there were a few different model's of them too

 

[roostyamates]

i cant find spare parts for these either, would be pointless buying the bike unless i put another motor in it

 

[roostyamates]

anyone know what engine this is ? would appreciate any info

 

[my67xr]

It is a generic China 125cc engine, looks like an old Lifan
you'll need the engine model number to get a better idea on which china company made it, like i mentioned in post #6

 

[roostyamates]

Yeah I have asked just thought I may try my luck and ask anyway.

That engine actually looks similar to the one on my thumpstar.
Head and RHS look very similar at least?
Dipstick is in a different spot thaugh!

 

[roostyamates]

Yeah they do look similar! What sort of motor is yours ?
I just want to know what sort it is before I buy it so I can be sure I can get the parts it needs to be fixed..
