listen, i dunno what is wrong with your friend's tomos, but it is definitely
a lemon. mine is a 2000, it's got almost 2000 km on it, not one problem yet,
ever. my friend has a 99 with more miles on his, same thing, not one problem
ever, so you really are judging a moped on 2 kids who probaly take them off
roading or some shit, right? don't lie either. at one point you prolly tried
to do a wheelie or holeshot or shotty on it, right? yea. MOPEDS AREN'T MEANT
TO GO 50. if you want to go 50 your just a wanna be dirtbike kid. mopeds are
transportation. that's it. and lemme guess, your friends prolly pinned it
right when they got it. you have to break them in for the first 500 km. it
says that if you read the manual, shitface, i mean, sackface. they measure
kilometers, not miles. so basically your friends abused their transportation
and killed the moped it self. oh yea, your oil problem is prolly from runnin
lawn mower shit in an injector. you hafta run injection oil, usually
synthetic is best for 2-stroke injectors. believe me buddy, if you actually
know what ur doin, tomos is a great moped.
