Just bought an '07 Bud 125. Had 4 China 150cc scoots, 3 Helix scoots, and a Morphous. So, I'm not unfamiliar with a variety of scoots and maintenance thereof.
Read the excellent Tech Article pictorial how-to on valve lash adjustment as soon as I took possession of my Buddy. The idle was poor and, sure enough, both valves had tightened up. There are 4200 miles on my Bud.
As soon as I adjusted everything the idling improved 100%
I had no problems getting top dead center on the compression stroke using the kick start lever; however, when the big hole appears just GENTLY bump the lever to get the 2 lines where they need to be.
I'm now a happy Bud rider in west-central Arizona!
Kudus to the author of the pictorial article!
