So I bought a 2011 gmw m1 with 5500 km or miles ( i dont know which ) and have recently installed a eBay Durham N carolina sellars Scorpion brand products. Here goes: 100cc bbk A9 Cam Round air filter 38mm Performance coil Orange CDI box 19mm Cvk carb knockoff without adjustable needle. #  and also have #  mainjets Installed # 38 pilot Heat wrapped exhuast manifold because engines plastic shrouds are melted a bit at the cylinder head and the heat wrap ebay product is cheaper than the $24 for new shrouds. Im just trying to move the hot exhaust gases outta my air filters area. |

It runs good. Ive rode it 75 miles so far. The tachometer was a blessing. I tuned the carb without and then with tachometer. Turns out I had been previously setting my idle to 3500rpms.
The low end acceleration is very noticable compared to stock. I weigh 220lbs.

Wrapping with heat tape will help further melting but avoids the issue. This should not have happened - and just might indicate the exhaust was WAAYY hotter than it normally would be (very lean perhaps). You have changed everything and so will have to tune, which will change the exhaust temp if that was the case. I'd just make sure I know what the problem was since very lean condition will destroy valves, etc. |

 What do you think of this? What is the dichotomy? |

Running lean and hot?

I'll check it out against the Chart and post. But not before I tune my carb |

What do you think of this? What is the dichotomy? It's hard to tell with the focus so off. I would say it looks a little rich, but again, it's hard to tell with the picture so poor. |

Concentrate on the Running.
Ya don't ride it at idle.. I don't spend to much time on idle

Have been painting my scoots plastic with rattle cans. Krylon white and then a clear coat. Alot of time spent prepping surfaces. Wet sanded with 1500 grit before spraying Krylon clear.
Gonna wait and buff it in a couple weeks and then wax it.
Subscribe to my thread!
Ill post finished pics and maybe a video.

You really should investigate that heating issue flordia... Like rcq92130 said the plastics shouldn't have melted. I have a similar setup from the same company (Scorpion) and I have rode for 16 hours straight in one day with only 10 minute stops every 3-4 hours and none ofmy plastic melted man and it was a very hot day... So considering a similar setup from the same company can run with less heat (and btw it takes a LOT of heat to melt those plastics, they are made for heat) that goes to prove your setup is running too hot. |

So considering a similar setup from the same company can run with less heat (and btw it takes a LOT of heat to melt those plastics, they are made for heat) that goes to prove your setup is running too hot. When i got the scoot used, the piston was "hot seizing" due to the valves needing an adjustment. I was having to wait 30min till the engine cooled off so I could ride it. My point is: im not able to speak to my scooters previous owner so I can find out what issues the bike was found out to have in relationship with the melted engine shroud in the manifolds area. Nowhere else on the shroud is it melted or warped. I believe the exhasut was loose for a long time causing the melting. *** my Scorpion bbk is running fantastic! I think you misread my post. I have a tachometer and the sparkplug looks good. I am wrapping my exhaust in an effort to move the hot air from reaching my air filter, and also because I think it looks good. My shrouds have NOT melted in any way since installing Scorpions 100cc bbk. |
