Someone told me that my engine was made by CF Moto. Is this true ? It has a lot of chrome plated bolts and chrome plated steel tubing on it looks pretty well made.

CF-Moto does make a lot of the Honda-like motors and scooters.

manuals are the first thing i buy when i get a bike. i have 2 official ruckus service manuals from honda. for my 2 harleys i have 3 manuals and 1 parts manual. my 85 has a later model ignition so i needed a later manual. i found a harley manual with my ignition upgrades at an auto swapmeet. the parts manual gives you an exploded view of every part and all the parts numbers for every part on the bike. when i go to an HD dealer i drop the paper with the part # on the counter and i don't even have to talk to the parts scrub. i don't have to worry about them looking up and giving me the wrong part. this is an exchange i had with parts scrub once.
me, piece of paper with part number placed on the counter: "i need this part"
parts scrub:"what bike is it for?" going to his parts book
me: "it doesn't mater, that's what i want"
parts scrub: "what bike?"
me: it doesn't matter, that's what i want"
parts scrub is starting to get agitated.
me: "i look my own part numbers up in my parts book"
parts scrub: "oh, your one of those guys"
i turned around and left without the parts, i went somewhere else and got them. the other dealer i went to, i put the paper on the counter the parts person looked up the number on their screen and went to get the parts, no questions asked.
memo to: parts scrub, just get me what i want, not what you think i want.

Don't you just hate those parts scrub guys. I used to know a lot of hot rodders that would mix parts from a dozen different years of cars and makers. They knew just exactly what part would fit into the hole they wanted to plug and had no need of a monitor reader to tell them what they could have.
Back in the old days you could go talk to the guy on the other side of the counter and say what you wanted and no argument because they also knew what would side into a small block, big block, hemi or anything else that rolled down the road.
