pretty cheap. i have seen others make an oil cooler themselves by getting a oil drain plug and drilling holes in it and JB welding two outlets on it and buying a small oil cooler on ebay (usually cost around $30.00 or so) and buying some lines and hooking it up.  I spent $300.00 on mine Taida Oil Cooler Kit I chose it because it taps directly into the oil pump. |

[replyingto=scooterelements]Scooter%20Elements[/replyingto]Sweet bro!!
Thats a great idea,,even if you drill and tap the drain plug,,I can get a cheap cooler at autozone or something.

Try stepping up a main jet size .
The added fuel internally helps cool it naturally.
A $5 mod off ebay and only takes a screw driver to install.
Most of my overheating picnics arise from burnt exhaust valves .... running too lean in higher RPMs , popping through the exhaust on throttle let off is a sure sign of running too lean.
A tachometer is a super investment .
All too often folks are way over the engines rated power band rpm and complain about being lean.
They are really just over reving the engine and the factory jet is not enough fuel flow for those higher RPM's it will do but is not designed for.
Lean running engines have a tendency to run like a chainsaw from the excessive air. Often deceptively seen as a performance increase.
May feel good , but it wont last long because it's torching itself inside.

[replyingto=noneshere]Noneshere[/replyingto]Thanks for info,,
I always heard lean is mean,,but only when racing,, wouldn't
I be able to richen it up a bit by drilling out the air/fuel screw cap and adjusting there?
I plan on a pipe and pod cleaner also,,so i may have to jet it bigger,,do you have a link for the jets i would need and sizes to play with?
Regards
Tom

Nerp... The fuel mixture screw only controls the pilot (idle) jet flow. The diaphram needle and main jet control the mid and upper RPM's. I live at sea level , 11 gram rollers , shorty K+N cone style filter , and a nice quiet factory exhaust . The #115 main jet works nicely for me. I"m floating 50-55 mph on the flats with ease . Jet kits are cheap , have fun finding out the one you need. It's trial and error Stay in the power band when testing . Learn to do plug chops , the plug color is what your jetting for ....a nice caramel color when "chopping off" in the powerband is what your wanting. Mid range bogging is usually in the diaphragm needle height adjustment An open exhaust is too much for the #115 , it runs firecracker lean and pops so bad the folks on the side walk duck for cover. I hate the dirt bike sound anyways and I'm just not dumping more fuel in my scoot considering I also have a  ninja 500 sitting in the garage along side it. Ebay's got lots of jets : www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=157qmj+%23115+jet&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=gy6+150++jet&_sacat=0 |
