Default Greetings from Arizona

I am new to the ATV world and I just acquired a Panterra 90cc ATV in a box, just a few minor problems but it should keep me busy for a while putting everything back together. I have heard that it is a Honda clone and most Honda parts will fit it. Hope so. I am looking forward to riding the desert around here.

Welcome.

When the Chinese quad makers say it's a Honda clone they mostly mean they took apart a Honda, and made their own quads by stealing the general design. It does not mean that the Honda parts will necessarily fit or that it is even a 1/100th as reliable as a Honda.

Well when you live on social insecurity you take what you can get. I got it primarily for the frame and suspension thinking that the engine was blown. Was going to replace it with a different power source. But yesterday I pulled the engine apart and everything looks to be in good shape. Humm maybe it will run. Anyway it should keep me busy, all I have is time, no money, just plenty of time...

Yeah I know about Chinese crap. When I was a kid it was known as the Japanese crap. Well times change, twenty years from now it will be (insert name) crap.
