The guy did test drive it. Only after he trucked it to the other side of the island id he realize it was junk. He couldnt even drive it 5 miles without it shutting off

Yup this guy kolten is a joke. Hes always loitering around tru72s shop and talking nonsense to his customers. If you guys saw the way he had had se50 motor in the sym you would have vomited.

Yep he may hang out at all the shops here..
But he does bring his bike to the track to test... I give major props for that.
He never says anything about How fast he is or thinks he is.
Never talks s*** about anyone on here or locally
Something that you might learn from..

Ps that bike was driven daily packing his g/f to school.. i see them pass the shop on a daily basis

He brought it to me and the thing was a mess. The jug gaskets were all screwed up and the fuel lines were all routed wrong causing the bike to heat sieze after a few minutes of riding. Just want to say that your a ripper kolten who lied to the guy and said the bike ran "cherry"
I can see now your the so called mechanic (kingkam) whom josh was talking about. Please I rode that bike all over Hilo and made a daring trip to the kalapana flats ALL PREMIX 40:1 with no probs, which I have told Josh (whom bought the moped). Since I now know you work on bikes I wouldnt trust you to work on diddly squat. IF ANYTHING FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ALL YOUR POSTS, you talk alot of * about alot of people, IT'S YOU the one PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF.

Yes the guy who bought the moped from me WAS VERY AWARE OF WHAT WAS DONE TO THE BIKE BECAUSE I WAS HONEST AND I NEVER LIED TO HIM. I can't help the incompetent. NOT ONCE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT MY FIRST 2T HAD I EVER BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NOT EVER ONCE.

Like I pm'd you earlier,this is the longest boxes I sent to hawaii as taken this long. the last 3 yrs I have been sending sideskirts and undercowls to hawaii took no more than 12 business days at most. I don't know why all of a sudden usps takes this long to send stuff. I called them to see where its at and they said its on its way there.until the post office there checks it in,they don't know what the status is. I just hope its soon because this is rediculous. Its no wonder they are loosing business. Again sorry for the delay.
No probs you need not to be sorry, patience and maybe some profound words will help the time pass LOL VERY GREATFUL AND THANKFUL :)

All im gonna say is that bike had some serious problems. You know what you sold the guy kolten. If you did such a killer job on it then he wouldnt have had all those problems. The bike broke down the day after he bought it from you. Like i said he didnt even make it 5 miles on his first ride before the thing broke down. You sold him a lenon

Okay, im not going to rip alright. I told him that the fuel likes to creep down back into the fuel tank when sitting over night, that was the ONE THING I pointed out and braddah was kool with that. I too delt with it from time to time and never had any problems. It was simple my friend and am sorry for all who has been entertained by our bickering. A warm island smile can only fix some problems :)

Im done talking about this already. The fuel lines got re routed the PROPER way and all the gaskets had to be redone. Like i said the swap was a mess. Im not trying to talk trash. It just rubs me the wrong way when unknowing people get ripped off

Not to continue on but tru72 has seen me ride it daily with my GF and not once have I brought into his shop to get checked out, and not a single thing did I lie to Josh, I loved that bike because it was built for my girl.
