Geeze People. Just wait. Life does not need to go so fast that it accidentially gets ended when a idiot driver coming the other way thinks the same thing.
Seriously just wait. If you want to build a system to trigger it, you'll want to pass electricity through your NEO magnet. Don't run the red lights no matter what the technical part of the law says. I'm sure the cop will find 30 other violations you have. It's nearly impossible for an upstanding citizen to not be breaking the law at all times.
I get that it can be frustrating and I used to get upset about the lights. Then one day I was explaining it to a friend and he said "Why can't you wait the extra 30seconds?" And I realized how OCD I had become about it. When you have to wait at the light turn it into a game, you are trying to get as zen as possible and clear your head. It's your meditation break DX DX

I need a muffler gasket and a new muffler (with all the mounts) for my 2012 150cc TaoTao VIP Powermax Scooter. Who wants my money? I haven't been able to find a vendor that doesn't take at least 3-4 days shipping. I love the authorized vendors. Would any of you work with me to ship me a part today asap? I've got my credit card waiting. I'll pay the extra shipping. Please somebody take pity on my soul  Anyone recommend a scoot site or vendor? Or does a vendor want to step up? |

I was able to find the gaskets on ebay. However part of the problem is when tightening it to the motor one of the screws broke off. How can I fix this?

I took my 2012 150cc TaoTao PowerMax VIP exhaust off because it was having trouble staying mounted to my bike. It's been welded multiple times.
When I went to put it back on it rattled and the seal between the muffler and engine fell off somewhere on the road. It's a tiny circle. I cannot find just this part anywhere.
Such a tiny little piece and I can't ride my scooter! I put high temp JB weld to the muffler and now it's still loud, but exhaust is doing it job.
Can someone tell me something I can cut a new washer out of? Rubber can't handle the temp. I also want to buy mounts for the exhaust system.
There is no scooter dealership in my very rural area. Where can I get the muffler mounts and this seal asap?

[replyingto=]Guest[/replyingto]Scrappy has been great with my parts. It's the USPS that sucks. They close at 4:30pm. The guy doesn't come back from his route with the package until 4:30pm. I know because I've waited 4 days this week, even took off work to stay home and this USPS guy doesn't ring the door bell, just claims he did. (I setup camera)

I like the innovation. It could be a lot of fun, it's similar to how I design noise suppressor for firearms. $60 for a muffle sucks, but if you just want stock replacement it's cheepest than spending 2 hours building a muffler (my time is expensive).
I actually bought a new muffler , and took the old one apart and improved on it. Then put the better old one back on. Saving the brand new for rainy day.

Also for taotao go to their website click parts and it takes you to eagle parts where it tells you some of the light sizes and buy them at the LED site above. Superb right has awesome customer service

Thank you so much! I own 2012 taotao powermax VIP. This saves me a lot of time. Except my headlight might be different.
Just so people know you could put any motorcycle or scooter led bulbs connected up to the wires if they didn't fit in the socket. It's pretty simple just connect the two wires. It's one of the easiest mods you can do to your bike. The brake light is 3 wires (one for braking) and there are a lot of Led replacement whole light housing units that are cool.
I love using less power for brighter bulbs. No more flickering, and everyone can see me down the road!

If your sitting on the bike the front right fork is leaking oil. The person I purchased the scooter from this week said you could buy a replacement for about $50. I did some looking but wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. I looked through the guides here, and they talked about EVERYTHING except the front fork.  Is it hard? Where can I find a guide? Also any links to what I shoudl be buying or looking for. |
