May I also say that when you change the oil, please use a "motorcycle" grade oil and not an automotive oil. Oils that are labled "energy conserving" should be avoided in a wet clutch system.

Very informative Chinarider, Thankyou.
Couple of Questions.
I did remove the 14 mm bolt on the bottom before I read your post and it is very hard to get back in place with the spring. My question is some oil came out when the bolt was removed should I be concerned about getting oil back in there? about 2 table spoons full came out.
I did put a very small amount of oil in the left side (alternator) How do I go about getting that back out before I ruin something?
Also on the Redcat vx110 which is the bike I have. How can I decrease the turning radius?
This bike has a very very wide turning radius. Looks like they have istalled stops on the frame to keep it from turning tighter. Can they be grinded down or removed?
Any help would be appreciated

If you dot the 14mm bolt back in and no leaks, then no problem. The oil that came out is only engine oil, so check the sight glass on the right side of the engine, if it's low the feel free to add. But if it's where it's supposed to be, don't worry about it.
As for the oil in the stator, my friend did the same thing.. No books for these things make them confusing. If it's just a little it probably won't hurt anything, but if you want to be safe, remove the 2 covers on the left side of the engine. 1 cover is for the chain and sprocket, the second actually holds the stator. It's just a couple 8mm bolts, and a slight tap and it comes right off. Use some alchohal base electronic or carberator cleanor after you wipe everything with a rag. Should be good then.
I have heared of people beding the stops to get more turning radius, but if it's a youngster riding it then you may not want to cut them off. If a grown up is going to ride it, then shouldn't be a problem with just hacking them completly off..
Glad I can help..

sickmojave,
Yes, usually there are some other minor things that you need to do to them, to get them running. My advice is once you get the chain set to the correct tension, tightem the large locking bolts (16 or 18mm) really good. And tighten the sprocket bolts, mine always came lose, so I welded them so they can't ever loosen again.. haaha.. Don't forget some good chain lube..
As for the carburator, if some sealer wont hold it back and you have to replace the carb, I would get an aftermarket carberator, for the Honda Trail mini, or CRF 50.. They are only a little more than Kazuma replacement and you shouldn't have to mess with it. The chinese carbs and chokes are very finiky..
As for toe in toe out. just use a measuring tape and do a quick wheel alignment.. Good start would be to set the front (center to center of the tires) and set the back side to the same. That will center the tires.. you can adjust for your prefference from there..
