I stopped in at my local motorcycle shop today and he was working on a Chinese scooter and had another sitting waiting for parts to show up, the owner said that the one nice thing about the Chinese made bikes is that the parts are cheap but that nothing on them lasts very long and they are not built to be serviced and finding service books for them is a pipe dream so all of your repairs are made blind, people bring the Japanese bikes in to get oil changes, carbs cleaned and tires changed, people bring the Chinese bikes in to have the whole thing riped apart to take care of issues from poor design and lack of quality control.
