lovbyts think about y you have to pay a little more for the etons its called quality you get what you pay for + yamamoto doesnt have near the dealer support through the usa.

 

bombman, that's exactly what the Japanese dealers argue against buying eton and other off-shore brands, and now you're telling someone the same thing about Yamoto. I don't think near double the price is the same as a just a little more. seems like there are parts for these things, but you could be right about how well the dealer is supported by them.

 

If I'm going to pay that much for something called an Eton then why wouldn’t I buy a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or Kawasaki which have been proven.

 

what speeds are you getting with the 150 yamoto? I just bought one and the kids have about 8-9 hours on it. radar says 32mph, no more. thats with throttle limit screw all the way out.

the kids sundiro(eton,dinli...) 2stroke 90cc gets 34-35 on radar. my friends Dinli 90 is a little quicker of the line but runs about 30mph top.

I thought that the yamoto would get at least 40mph, but hasn't happened yet. what adjustments are needed? It engine sounds good but just does go fast enough. I'm not looking for huge top speeds, just what i have heard from others with this 150 yamoto are getting. maybe something is wrong.

my reviews on the '04 Yamoto 150:
it's heavier compared to other kids atv's
little boggy off the start
stiff suspension
cheap wiring (like any "off brand")
very stable (thanks to flat profile tires)
well worth the money so far !
cheap for a 4 stroke Kids ATV with the features it has (Ebay: from $1,000-$1500 shipped!)
my '00 Sundiro 90cc reviews:
same as eton
faster than other 90cc ATV's
i would say a little less or about the same quality than the Yamoto
starter went up after 2 summer of use
rear shock fell apart after 4th summer
auto-choke issues after 2nd summer(just starts hard when not used for more than 4-5days)
not very stable riding(tires are more "rounded")
a few minor repairs (broken mouts on oil injection tank...)
cost too much for a small kids ATV (listed for about $2,000 in '01)


Our Current ATV's:
2001 Blue Raptor
2001 White/Black Raptor (a few mods)
2001 Polaris Explorer 400 4x4
2000 Sundiro 90
2004 Blue Yamoto 150

 

is this similiar to the cfmoto 150cc quad? im also looking at lower end quads for casual riding. very interesting post. thanks!

 

yes the cfmoto is same except the tires are different.

 

they are building my 150cc as we speak. im supposed to pick it up anyday. $1050 including putting it together. www.powersportsfactory.com. they are located in pennsauken new jersey.

i'll let you know what i think in a few days. its primarily for my 12 yr old 95lb son. i went with a 250cc commando.

lenny

 

i got my 2 quads today. started right up. on the title, the 150cc states the make as loncin. the 250cc commando states the make as qianjiang. i was told the 150cc was cfmoto. anyway, they are overseas atv's. too tired to mess with them now, going back to sleep for midnight shift.

update:

the commando 250cc is indeed a qianjiang atv made in china.
webite is below.

i havent found any info on the other one yet but sure looks like a yamato 150cc or a cfmoto. still looking for loncin.

anyone with any info greatly appreciated.

 

took back the factor 150cc. stalled onceand battery died i think. went and got another 250cc commando and loving them both. my 12 yr old enjoys the 250cc over the 150cc anyway.

 

Have you taken out the restrictor plate in the air intake (air cleaner) yet? Once the bike is broken in, you take out that plate and you'll notice a pretty substantial difference in performance, and it will get a little louder, too.
