Zongshen Parts

[safety1st]

Hi all, can anyone tell me where I can get parts for my 2006 Zongshen ZS 250-5 cruiser? I desperately need a new CDI and I can't find one anywhere??
Thanks,
Chris

Easy, just go to the Zongshen parts store and pick up whatever you need.

China would be my guess, maybe who ever sold it to you has a number for an importer.

I think the reality is you just learned a valuable life-lesson, IE Don't buy cheap-ass Chinese crap. If you want a cheap ride buy a used Japanese bike from a company with an established dealer support network.

Apparently, this guy is a Dealer in LA.

Shoot him an e-mail: FarhanEnter@aol.com

You might try taking the bad CDI to a scooter dealer and see if it resembles anything he has. Especially if you find a Dealer that has any 'blowed-up' bikes.

It appears the 'Zonger 250' might be prone to case failures around the kickstarter, too. Maybe that's the 125's. A quick surf has all sorts of stuff, mostly bad on the subject of Zongchen-ses.

Good luck!

That's very true and I mean no insult. I'm sure China builds some very high quality products however there seems to be an inordinate amount of low quality goods imported into this country.

From my own experiance with bearings, tools, nuts and bolts made of soft metal to pipe flanges that showed inferior metallurgy causing them to fail well below their pressure rating, all the way to toothpaste with toxic chemicals to dog food to shoes that fall apart to cheap knock-offs of almost every product availabe China has flooded our markets with what amounts to little more than junk.

That's right, Sarnali, in the classic colonial scenario, the industrialized nation imports raw materials from the colony and produces finished goods (often of dubious quality) to ship back to the colony. The icing on the cake for the colonial power is holding vast amounts of debt from the colony and earning interest on the money they lend the colony to buy the cheap goods! It's a great setup! If you're China.
