    It should be stamped onto the engine, somewhere around the rear gearbox housing I think

    Gy6 is 4 stroke. It's something like 1pe just Google 1pe Chinese 2 stroke.
    It's a Chinese copy of a minerelli. I think possibly minerelli parts fit it?
    Steve?

    I think they only did a 4 stroke in that bike now, pictures of both sides of the engine please; or if you have an oil dip stick on the right hand side of the engine it's definately a 4 stroke

    In the same place as the Aerox, behind the little panel below the front of the seat.

    the oil tank should look like this:

    [​IMG]

    The feed pipe to the oil pump runs off the bottom of it, follow that to the pump on the lower right hand side of the engine. It is tucked away so you will need a torch or inspection light.
    If the tank is not there, then it has been removed and the bike is running on premix
