[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]First time I had a girl over at my house I made her watch Interstella 5555 from start to finish  She never came back.  |

Deadmouse, huh? What about Modest Mouse?
And here's a beautiful song about Marriage.
Love the Mountain Goats Lyrics:
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again in my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
I'm surprised no one put any Daft Punk...
And finally the weirdest music video I've ever seen:

And the gears are ordered.
Now we wait...

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]So is it a specific type of shop I'm looking for, or will my local motorcycle shop be able to do this? I guess I found a machine shop in the yellow pages, I'll give them a call and see what they say  Thanks again, Millsc. Enjoy your new Galaxy when it arrives. |

Wow that's one fancy motorcycle.  That commercial is hilarious... One bike to rule them all. Hope you like your new big heavy unstealable motorcycle. |

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]A'ight, Millsc. I'll take your word for it and order up those gears. I was gonna count my teeth and go through the long process of refilling my gear oil repeatedly, but this saves me that trouble. Thank you. Is there any way to press the gears myself? I have some huge clamps if that's possible. I just don't know of any machine shops nearby. |

[replyingto=z0m8i3]Z0M8I3[/replyingto]Being a "performance" carburetor it may have come with a larger idle jet. I assume the performance carb would have  and 38 jets if it really is a performance carb. Either way it should pull fuel through the line if it is a fully functional carburetor. It's quite possible you received a defective unit. I would contact the seller and try to get a replacement, or refund, if a new carb with proper jets doesn't fix it then it's apparently just a cheap carburetor, though it has some good reviews... I believe the purpose of a performance exhaust is to allow more air through with less resistance, so I'm not sure how a quiet performance exhaust would work, though I'm sure they exist. |

So I was driving to the gas station to fill up on gas, I was almost on empty. And then some kid in an suv drives beside my scooter, driver side facing me, and the kid goes "Hey, is that loud?" and I said something like "what, can't you hear?" and I revved my engine a bit. Then the kid goes "Alright, check this out" and then... The sound of a thousand lyons being raped came from the rear of his suv. He obviously had a performance exhaust...  My 81ccs were no match for his multi-cylinder engine. I lost this one, but there are more showdowns to come... Anybody else have experiences like this very often? |

Performance clutches don't do all that much, other than the performance clutch bell which helps with cooling, and lighter clutch itself with stickier shoes. The clutch is integral to your scooter, performance clutches don't do much more than the stock clutch. I could be wrong, but that's what I keep hearing. The rpms of the springs engage at their rated rpm ABOVE your stock rpm. If your stock rpm was 2300, 2k springs should theoretically bring it to 4300. Etc. Hi DrPulley makes a true performance clutch, its leaps and bounds above a stock one and what i use for high performance builds www.unionmaterial.com/Hitclutch-19.htmTake care and rider safely dear friend Yours Hank Wow, that's impressive, Hank. I guess there's an exception to my theory. Dr. Pulley makes good stuff, period. |

I'm none too familiar with 150cc weights, but that does seem heavy UNLESS you have a performance variator which is lighter than stock. You're also the first person I've heard of getting a 1000rpm spring, if that's the torque spring and you don't live near any hills then that's a fine setup. I mostly chimed in to say nice Rise Against quote in your sig |

[replyingto=z0m8i3]Z0M8I3[/replyingto]Absolutely. It will limit your power slightly, but if you don't have the extra money then you can easily wait to install a performance exhaust, it shouldn't ruin anything. Just don't forget the exhaust gasket. I will say that having a performance exhaust is totally worth it though. My mom, and others say my scooter sounds like a mini Harley now . |

I've only ever ridden alone. Sometimes I'll see a group of bikers drive by and I tail them just to be the comical scooter following a bunch of harley riders. But nobody in this town wants to ride with me either. I don't even know anybody else with a scooter, I think my neighbor has one but he never drives it, and he's very old. I guess that's what we have this forum for. To share our solo experiences and turn them into group experiences. |

Main Jet
Or are you just picking out an exhaust for a different scooter?
and 38 jets if it really is a performance carb. Either way it should pull fuel through the line if it is a fully functional carburetor. It's quite possible you received a defective unit. I would contact the seller and try to get a replacement, or refund, if a new carb with proper jets doesn't fix it then it's apparently just a cheap carburetor, though it has some good reviews...
