Just wanted to say hi to everyone here, I've been lurking here for quite awhile viewing posts from Google but I figured it was finally time to make my own account and join the community.
My name is Garret and I ride a 2003 Qianjiang QJ125T-4A (aka Keeway ARN 125) with it's weird QJ153QMI engine, same as used in a lot of the vento and benelli bikes of years past. Seems like with it some parts fit but others are really specific to that motor, makes finding some things a real headache with it being the "black sheep" of GY6 motors it seems.
A picture of my scoot is attached, sorry about the random handlebar in the picture, my friend's Roketa 250cc water cooled "big butt" Jonway scooter was trying to edge its way in! ;D
(edit: what the heck I can't attach pictures!?)
I got sick of the terrible matchbox toy type blue and silver paint job it had, so I sprayed it in satin black krylon and I think it looks a lot better than it did.
It's completely stock with no plans for any performance modification except for possibly HID headlights if I can ever get together the cash for 2 of those Chinese made 4300k 35 watt BA20D HID kits.
Engine was rebuilt completely about 200 miles ago as I bought the bike not running and very abused, a farm had used it like a dirt bike to check fences and horse paddocks. Not a nice life for a scooter by any means.
I was an automotive technician before the economy went to hell, so just about anything on that engine or it's electrical system I can repair and I like helping out others, which is why I finally decided to join.
Sorry I talk WAY too much!
