Pretty much where it ends Rob, mine has a yosh exhaust and a xcw map on it. The exhaust and map was on the bike when I bought it.

They are using Kymco motors??? Yuck! Why would they let anyone know that? That company makes knockoff quads ect that places like co-op try to sell at a slightly lower price than a real one, just without the parts and tech support.....

yeah for there kids items usually. cat and yamaha do the same thing. Yamaha won't admit/publish it but I know for a fact that they are using it in the viking sxs, as the castings and construction is similar to other kymco motors I have had appart. On those we experienced about a 10% crank failure rate. But the 700 twin kymco in the wildcat trail and sport has been sweet, but thats a plain bearing engine.
most of the jap stuff has been using nickle silicon bores. the kymco stuff has gone back to iron, but your not able to bore them oversize or re sleeve them. Its too bad as the companies who were re plating nickle silicon bores do an excellent job.
