no it just crappy sound on my phone that's what everybody ask me i need to get a better one but i have to break this one first but i am having a problem bleeding the rear brakes their is no air in the line and if i use pliers to pinch the line at the caliber i have good presser on the lever so i know that's working OK but take the pliers off and nothing no brake at all but if i pinch off the line a little the brakes work grate and this i don't understand they work on the old bike they should work now

Pinching a brakeline does not sound like a good idea to me. Is the caliper and master cylinder a matched set? You do not need much of an air bubble to have stopping problems.

your right pinching off the brake line is not a good idea it did have air in the line i had to take off the caliber put a piece of metal between the pads so i could get the bleeder on top of the brake line they work grate now lock up if you hit them to hard so its all good now. i road it all weekend put 86 miles on it and so far so good i don't even have to give it 1/4 throttle to maintain speed 55 to 60 on the 50cc speed-o but i have not found a speed trap yet to confirm that and no engine mods yet there will be more to come i plan to do some trans work next and a bigger carb

took this pic today at first glance it almost looks like any really well maintained bike, closer look reveals a very cool design, color and foot board. I have a gold bike too, black may be fastest but gold is the luckyest that welding pic on first page is a master piece hahahahahah---what a great signiture--- Full throttle till you see god then brake
