    Ouch, the issue is ging to be balance... you have now taken weight off one side and its going to throw the balance of the clutch out, remeber these things spin very fast , I would be looking for a replacement

    OOPS!
    That was meant to happen, as Chris and Murdo have stated, you need a replacement pronto.

    replace replace replace, do not even attempt to run the bike......i say this from experience (old farm hack GN125), better to be up for a pressure plate than a new block....

    google all motorcycle wreckers here in Australia, they are located in NSW. i have delt with them and had a great experience. they ship world wide and take paypal, they may or may not have one but failing that try ebay :)

    if that fails, use findapart.com.au , this website will e-mail all wreckers and let them know you are chasing part "X" with your contact details.

    G'day mate
    Kiffsta gave you the best contact with Findapart , however I seem to recall that one of our O/S members not so long back had difficulties being overseas?
    Should that be the case, send me all relevant details of your bike and part required and I will put forward the request for you. Generally takes a few days to get responses. Let us know. Phil

    zongshen is the engine maker. huansong make this bike. the same motor is in maxim. also in chinese off road bikes. i believe the 125 cc bike is the same engine with a smaller bore and stroke.many 125,s are on the parts list in england.remember we live in a woreld wide economy.

    contact zongshen in china.
