however, zooming in, shows that the guy's right, can you see the error in one of the pics?  Another issue is that the people far from the cam are out of focus, very blurry faces. |

A single photo of that magnitude would take forever to load, not even to mention it would crash every computer, as you need MORE than 2GB of video RAM just to display that picture.

Even when not running at WOT, the choke allows me to adjust the fuel mixture from rich to lean.
Aleyoop, are you saying that where the bike performs optimally, it is actually a bit running LEAN, not perfect A/F ratio?
I thought where the engine performs the best is the perfect A/F ratio. Lean or rich running would decrease performance from that ratio?

The warning is harmless.
It's a Java warning, just letting you know some programmer created some unknown program (chat) to run through the Java installed on your PC.
It's the same kind of messages you get from android apps, saying android is not responsible if damage occurs, but letting you know that some kind of program is running.
At this time, only very few Java apps are trusted by Java. And of those, only few that don't update every week or so (as with every update there's another 'licence' that needs to be gotten to avoid that popup.
It works just fine like that.

I think most of the exhaust system is pretty ok. The muffler works so good, because it's so huge, and the tip is so small.
I wouldn't mind having a bit louder sound, but also a bit better performance; running a bit leaner.
The exhaust tip is restricting the muffler, and causing exhaust gasses to go back to the exhaust valves, causing lower MPG and lower performance.
Though I have no complaints about performance, 65MPG is a bit on the low side for a 150.
I should at least be able to get 75-80MPG out of it, and a bit tuned it should get ~90MPG, not 65; that's only 2/3rd as efficient as it should be.
I just wanted to know if the exhaust tip (yes I got the angled one), is a pipe that goes in the muffler, or just a tip only on the outside of the muffler?
If it's only a tip, I can drill it out, but if it's a pipe, I'll have to find a larger diameter pipe, and won't be able to drill it out.

I think it means you should buy a scooter for yourself and that girl!
So you can both ride naked on it!

I personally set my idle ~1000-1200 RPM. Reason being if I'm running WOT for a while, that idle goes up to 1400-1500RPM, and could engage the clutch if regular idle is too high.
Especially if your regular idle is ~1500+ RPM chances are on a hot ride, that your clutch wants to grip in front of a red light,
for that I suggest to lower idle a bit; depending on the outside temperature, 1200-1400RPM should be good enough.
It's better to run the bike with popping sounds, than ride it with a dragging clutch.

Big Difference between Popping and Backfire. A POP is just that POP sound, a Backfire is like POW, Which is it? And NONE OR NORMAL so something is wrong. Popping on Decel is also a Lean condition but that happens because the throttle is suddenly closed and not enough fuel is being fed and it runs lean. It could be caused by to low of an IDLE and or running a little lean on the Fuel Ratio which you can just richen it up a little. Backfiring on Decel is caused by bad air leak usually by the Header Pipe Flange, a nut came off or loose and most of the time blows out the exhaust gasket to one side. Backfires are not good it can damage your exhaust valve that is a lot of backpressure on the valve and it will burn it. Alleyoop Sometimes it's inevitable. I've set the idle and AF screw correctly on my bike, but it always pops, unless if I tune it rich. At optimal values (where A/F ratio works best), it pops. If I run it lean, it pops more. If I run it rich (below the the optimal AF setting) it won't pop, but I have less power out of the engine, and less top speed. |

For the suburbs where I live 125-150cc is about right. Hopefully soon I'll move to Orlando, where probably a 250cc motorcycle is more desired, because of more and longer highway riding. gitsum: You have issues man! Seriously! Over here in FL the top speed on just about ANY major road is 60MPH. Not that many people keep themselves to those max speed regulations, as they most of the time are going 75-80MPH on them, but legally, the highways are 50-55MPH top speed, with 40MPH minimum, and interstates are 60MPH with 50MPH minimum. |

The exhaust tip of the stock muffler of the 150 on mine is <1/2 in in diameter. It's too much back pressure. Perhaps drilling it out will help somewhat.

Sometimes it can be belt resonance, that the belt is vibrating like a string.

I also noticed there's no censoring in the chatroom (usually the first thing I try out on a chat).

I just noticed the chat button.
Entered, but there was no one there..
I think chat rooms will lose a lot of valuable conversations that can be logged, and replied to, like on a forum, by other people not online during the chat session.

That's what I'm worried about, if the pipe will fit on the bike.
The diameter of the exhaust pipe is purposely made smaller, because the exhaust gasses would flow faster that way, causing a better vacuum suction, resulting in improved performance.
One of the reasons why on motorcycles they don't equip them with full 2in diameter exhaust pipes.
They use only tiny pipes, because exhaust gasses go faster through them and increase MPG (as slower moving gasses cause less of a vacuum, necessary for the cylinder to exit the exhaust gasses better.
