What Have You Done To Your Scooter Today??  By  jerseyboy (Read 27,368 times)

Put new liscens tabs on. Still under winter wraps in Minn.

Decided it was warm enough to remove the windshield today. Hoping we don't get any spring showers, but we usually don't get more than a sprinkle till the monsoon season hits. That windshield got me through one of the wettest winters we've had in the 20 years I've lived in Vegas (which means we actually got more than 10 days with at least some rain), and I was dry and warm the entire season! Now that it's warming up, I'm itching to get a performance head installed. That will be my final upgrade to this 50cc, looking to move up to a 150cc in the early summer, a flame painted Znen Phoenix.

I sorta worked on my scooter... sorta.... I actually did a valve adjustment on my old scooter that I traded for the busted down goldwing. He was having the usual problems... dyeing at lights etc. Runs like buttah now. Second valve adjustment I've done in two weeks on two different bikes.

I replaced the bolts that hold the seat on. Yesterday I replaced the valve stem n the front tire without having to remove it from the trike ,took about 40 minutes . I checked the tires and added air. Then I took it out for a trial and am now trying to check to see if my tech is reading correctly .

Took off the seat cover (pain in the kiester) sewed in a new stress strip around all the existing China seams.
It seems to have worked. the seat will most likely outlast most other peripheral parts. The GY6 is the only thing I trust on a 2008 TANK. Every other component is a hidden surprise.
Put back the seat cover over the foam seat, stapled it down and took it for a ride.
Even if I don't do a mechanical fix, I still take a ride.....
If you don't know China scoots have no showing seams on the seat you will never notice the two new seams on the cover now. Saved $40. That is a lot of beer.
