school me guy's

Post by zx50 »

Ok I just picked up 04 kymco zx 50.

From what I have been reading its clone of the honda af18 but others say its close but not an exact copy.

Right now I have the cdi modded and the bushing replaced. But im wanting more but I also want a reliable setup.

I did look at the kymco forums but there dead and I got alot of help from this forum with my spree and elite on my other account but I can not remember the password.

The motor case is similar, but not an exact clone. Everything on the Kymco from the fan housing to tire size is much larger. The gearing is different too. You can use the cylinder kits for the Dio on the Kymco too.
