Does anyone have any info on this scooter, specifically looking for info on the engine and body.
It's a 2009 that my buddy bought new. I have worked on it before (mostly just oil changes, tire changes and such), but recently he had an issue with the exhaust, it keeps coming loose and losing the studs from the head. I think we've replaced the studs 4 times now, they seem to be in there good and tight, I even loctited them last time. They lasted for almost a year but now they are gone again.
Anyway, he and his wife decided to get rid of it and it landed in my garage haha, so now I'm looking for a solution to the exhaust issue. I would just order a new head, but the scooter is a 170cc and a normal 150cc head won't fit on it (compared it to my other 150cc). I guess if I could find a suitable head, I'd just as well replace it.
Otherwise, could I just pull the current head, fit new bolts in and have a shop tack-weld them in place?
Thanks for any info / advice.
