As rob said. Post in the workshop section. Even if you dont know what exactly is wrong, sometimes just by discribing the symptoms people can help sort it out.

The CBT its best to bring your own gear if you have it. Most places supply gloves and helmets but if you have your own then you know where its been Wink

Hi and.... ruh roh Raggy - Chinese-branded offroad-stylees have a poor reputation, and that's coming from someone who likes (some) Chinese-branded bikes. An engine change is surprising, as the 156/157FMI lumps in these bikes are generally the reliable bit. Keep an eye on: the frame for signs of fatigue or stress; broken bolts on the rear sprocket; loose bolts anywhere; the exhaust rotting away in short order.

Hopefully the electric problem is just a blown main fuse, bad battery earth or other noddy issue, but I would suggest that you don't spend much money on it. You could easily spend in excess of the purchase price and still end up with a bike that's worth less than what you paid for it. Sad

And holy heck, a 34.5" seat for a 5'1" rider? You must be all leg Exclamation

Definitely take your own gear. As part of the CBT, they should tell you never to lend or borrow a helmet... just before lending you a helmet. Laughing

Anyway, enjoy the CBT. It's training, not a test. If you've been on a bike at all, and have practiced hauling your TMEC around then you'll already be at the head of the class. Thumbs Up
