what kind of parts? Those China knock offs almost never have parts available or same company stick around for long. The good thing is the majority are Honda Knockoffs and alot of the engine parts are swappable.

ya thats a horizontal knockoff of a 50cc. They put bigger jugs on them to beef the up over 100cc. Lifan makes alot of them aswell as various other companies. Ebay is a decent reference. Also alot of gokart mini bike sites have parts.

its chinese, nuff said. normally they're a knockoff of Honda products, which you SHOULD have gotten to begin with, in this bike's case, it looks like a knockoff, and a VERY crappy one at that, of an XR50.

the ad says piston rings, and if thats the case, just measure the piston out, and I know of a guy that used to do custom rings, both diameter AND Thickness. www.pistonrings.net. they're inexpensive and good quality.

Personally, I'd just pull the chinese motor out, swap in a genuine XR50 engine, and call it good. then dissect the old chinese motor for amusement just to see how well they copied it.

If I were you I would just buy another engine off ebay, be it genuine or knockoff. Install it and call it good. Its usually alot cheaper to replace those than spend time and money to repair. The lifan knockoffs can be decent engines.
