I've got a kinetic honda, inherited it from my father who barely used it. Clocked 14000 true kilometers, cosmetic condition isn't anything to write about but there isn't any mechanical thing which isn't working on it, right from fuel meter to high/low beam indicator, the oil pump too is working. I run it on kinetic 2 stroke oil from the pump. It delivers about 30 kms to a liter if ridden at 45-50kmph. Top end is about 80kmph, I was able to touch 90 while being fully crouched and was on a downhill.
The only gripe I have from this machine is it's poor shock absorbing capabilities. Every bump in the road is felt deep inside your spine . I don't use it often but will never sell it.There are two things broken on it, 1 is the seat. I will explain it a little better. The seat on this vehicle is locked with the a latch which is connected to the seat with 2 screws. One of those screws' head has broken off and the remaining part of the screw is lodged inside the seat. Hence I'm unable to lock the seat. The other thing broken is the mainstand. That is due to my mistake, I enjoy scraping the mainstand while leaning to the left and one day the stand couldn't take it no more and broke away. I might weld it back but I'm not getting much time off to look after it. I've lost it's RC and any pointers to help me get it from RTO will be appreciated. The kinetic will get a paintjob and a cosmetic makeover once I get the RC made. If anyone wants pics, I could click some and post. Oh and one thing I forgot to mention, the mid range pull of this thing is awesome, from 25kmphr to 50kmphr this old 2stroke will eat up any of the new age 4strokes. |

But this thread is all about Mopeds, I believe your post should appear in the scooterette thread...
