JR,
Whew! 1,000 members already! How many repairs do you suppose this number represents?....... LOLOLOL!
After five fairly trouble-free seasons, my "Lil' Bubba" went totally Chinese on me. Tire valve stems went south, rear-disk-brake went totally bad from lever to pads, CDI and coil died, exhaust rotted from the header/head joint to muffler. All this, just a WEEK after installing a new Prodigy variator and enjoying TWO sweet rides at a leisurely rpm... CHEESH!
I just finished replacing the valve stems, the CDI, coil rear brake lever/master-cylinder and caliper. I built up what I think will be a SWELL exhaust system. Got it all buttoned down and test-rode it yesterday and upon returning, noticed a metallic "rubbing" sound at the variator... I'll get the CVT cover pulled during the week and find out what's up in there... Loose variator bolt, bad belt, piece of the kick-starter floating around inside... dead mouse self-destructing? Whatever...
At any rate, as soon as I get it running right, I'll do a post on the exhaust mods. What I devised might help others when the inevitable "muffler melt-down" takes place... HeHeHe... I also made a couple other mods that might suit some riders. I'll post the results... including whatever is not right with my variator.
This is the basic stuff these sites are all about... Each rider sharing their successes and failures, and whatever knowledge they've accumulated over the seasons. And Chinese scooters certainly DO provide PLENTY of opportunities to learn how to fix and improve them... LOL!
Ride safe, post often.
Leo (glad to be 1 of 1,000) in Texas
