tomos are good bikes, i ahve owned 5 of them the only one that gave me trouble was a 87 top tank A3 lx
most people who bad mouth tomos mopeds are kids who have no clue what they are doing and they play master mechanic and end yp breaking stuff.....
yes the plastic is cheap on tomos, i removed the ones that go under the gas tank on the lx, they will rattle loose and fall off, i took off the fairing also, take off those 3 pieces of plastic and put them in a spot where they will be safe and then put them back on the ped when u sell it.
if u treat a tomos good, proper oil mix, quality oil, tune it up change tranny fluid and make sure its jetter properly they will run like a bat out of hell!
i had a 96 lx that went 51 flat land all day long, with only a pipe, speed sproket and amature port job and then re jetted it
tomos last a long time if u treat them good, if your gonna get a used one dont buy it from a kid...
