Spares / Repair

2008 Yiben Hurricane - YB125T-22

This is my beloved but now dearly departed scooter.   I have owned her since 2010 and since then she's wracked up many a mile taking me to and from work.   I love this scooter and she's been like part of the family but alas she passed away last week and I'm expecting a new arrival. well actually I bought it about 10 minutes after she died.

I'll not lie. this scooter looks an absolute wreck.   She's held together using a variety of tie wraps. gaffa tape. L-shaped brackets.   She is proof of what everybody says about Chinese Scooters in that they fall to pieces.   Every piece of plastic is broken in some way.   Over the years I'd had to replace many parts such as indicator switches. brake switches. kick start. wiring loom. the list goes on.   The one thing that's never let me down though is the engine albeit she used a fair bit of oil in her later years.   The exhaust smokes a bit when running and she has a small oil leak when she's stood.

I have the say the pictures do her some credit.   She looks far worse in the flesh than she does in the pictures.  

That said she is perfect for spares or if somebody wants to put the time in diagnosing and repairing her she still has some life in her I'm sure.   She basically broke down twice in a week. it looks like she's blowing CDI units for some reason and at £15 a go I'm not gonna keep wasting money.   The CDI in her does work at the moment.   It'll no doubt be some electrical fault somewhere along the way.   My employer was unimpressed with two late arrivals for work so I can't risk fixing her and it happening again.   I value my job.

She is taxed until July next year although I think under the new law that's irrelevant these days.   She does however have an MOT until August 18th 2015.   She passed with just one advisory of the headlight being damaged but its function no impaired.   This is code for "It's held in with tie wraps".

Since the MOT she has covered just a few hundred miles. frustratingly so.

I am prepared to break her for parts so if you need anything particular Email me and I'll tell you if it's A- still attached to her and B - It still works.

This is as honest as I can be. don't win the auction and turn up to say she isn't as described.   She is.   There are no suprises.

Any questions drop us an Email. I'll normally respond straight away.

UPDATE - I have my new arrival and when I moved the scooter out the garage to make room I had a little play around with her.   The CDI in her is working and she is firing but just not quite running.   That said she didn't have an air filter attached which won't be helping.
