Is it normal to get so hot for a 5 min ride?
The valve cover is Super hot also the manifold is hot. I dont ride at wot since the extra speed scares me a bit

Running a stock exhaust? Two things I have seen on customer Scoots with 50mm BBK's. One..the exhaust is to restrictive for a 50cc engine.. Let alone all the extra flow you get from a 50mm kit. Also jetting must be right on or you run lean and hot! If using the stock head..compression is VERY high..causing excess heat. Also they prefer a spark plug in the 8 heat range vice the stock 7 range plug. Many will drill 2 holes in the exhaust to relieve excess back pressure which increases engine heat build up...

I would do a test riding both ways and see what she is reading , but 195 is pretty darn good. |

Also would changeing to a thicker oil work better for the upgrade? I forgot to mention the plastic housing around the flywheel is warped a bit

I agree... You need to fix or get a new plastic shroud. The air cooled GY6 engines depend on the fan and shroud to remain cool.

10w 40 as recommended 10 w 30 would be fine Visc/weight isn't all about better sealing. good quality Synth. Oils will Seal as well or better than the thicker visco.dino oils. Fix Cooling Shrouding. |
