Spare  parts  for  imported   vehicles  and machinery     are  always  matter  of  concern.   We  can  never  get  original      spare parts.   By  looking  around  we  can  always  get  good   enough  substitutes.  Improvising    attitude  approach  is   very   much     essential. 
The  long  bolt  that  attaches  the  engine  to  the  frame was  broken  sometime  back.  I  went   with  broken  component    to  spare parts  shop in  nearby  Vittal  town    to  search  for  a  suitable  replacement.  None  of  the  motorcycle  bolts  were  suitable   with  bigger   dimensions.  Finally  located  the  bolt  holding  M80 moped   engine to the frame    but  it  was  little  longer.   It     was  not  a  problem  and  I  used  that.  .
I  always  have  been  alert  for  all   malfunctioning  components.  The  electrical  components  you  get  from  China  are  not  of  top  quality  &  I  had  known  that    before  importing   ATV       from  various  ATV  discussion  forums.    Have  successfully  replaced  consumables  like   spark plug.    CD  units  and   starter  solenoid. 
Engine  design   of  this   ATV   is  very  similar  to  Hero  Street  motorcycle  that  was  in  market  sometime  back.    I  have  studied  closely  spending  considerable amount  of  time  in  local  Hero Honda  showroom  and   find  close  resemblance  in  clutch  and  gear  box  design.   This  is  also  very  similar  to  a    spanish  ATV  that  I  was  very  keen  to   import  and  following  link  gives  its  spare parts list.

Hero  Street,  Spanish  ATV  and   my    Chinese  ATV    has  exactly  same  engine  and  gear box  design.  This  cannot  be  said  of  models  with  different     engine  sizes.      The  dimension  could  vary  a  bit  that  can  be  known  only  when  we  get  down  to  repairs.  This  should  not   face    any    problem  as  I  see  it.
