Default Sikk and Zenoah reliability

What is more reliable? Where can I purchase a stock sikk or zen? Where can I buy a cheap mild modified sikk or zen?

Zenoah is far superior to sikk, or any other knockoff of the zenoah models. try ddmracing.com for engines as they have great prices

Both engines (Sikk and zenoah) have proven to be very reliable for me.

Check with Larry - FASTRATPORTING ( a member on here and a SUPER guy to deal with - for the mild modded engine )
As far as the comparison ....
Each has their pro's and con's .
Guess its all up to the buyer .
They say that the SIKK can not be modded as much as the ZEN , but , then again , the SIKK comes out of the box , faster and a little more powerful than the ZEN does .
And as said previously . check out the thread further down the list - talks all about the same question . Lots of GOOD info there .

Exactly! Stock for stock the Sikk has more hp. Full-Mod for full-mod though, the Zen260 may have an edge.

or
Sikk 27 modded by larry (its a twin to the RC230 just larger cc's)

We can deal.

Best listen to xxxboatworks. Both are good, Zens are certainly NOT far superior to Sikk, remember that a Sikk is a different engine completely to a Zen, not a "knockoff".
