[replyingto=jerryscript]JerryScript[/replyingto]Maybe I've just been lucky, but with that impact driver kit as well as the appropriate six point sockets and a bit of patience I have always been able to remove any screw, nut or bolt. |

Has anyone found any good looking flame decals? Most of what I have seen just look like cheap stickers that belong in a child's coloring book.

[replyingto=oldchopperguy]oldchopperguy[/replyingto]Thanks for the compliment on my scoot and your input regarding painting the trunk Leo. I have decided to leave it flat black since it has a slightly rough texture to it and I think if I couldn't get an exact paint match it would detract from the overall looks of the scoot.

[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]I wear Hi Viz green vest and reflective tape on the back of my helmet and .....Are you ready for this?.......... Hi Viz Blaze Orange Pants.....Kinda goofy looking but I am about as visible as I can be without putting flashing LEDs on the back of my vest.

As a retired engineer with a BSEE degree I spek to this subject with q fairly good knowledge base. So as my last post on this subject I offer the following:
The output from the stator is AC (alternating current). The RECTIFIER converts the AC into DC (direct current). The higher the RPMs the higher the DC voltage from the RECTIFIER. This now rectified (DC) voltage is regulated to a maximum voltage of approximately 14.1 volts DC by the REGULATOR and applied to the battery.
A normal trickle charge voltage is in the range of 13.50 to 13.62 volts. The MAXIMUM charging voltage from the REGULATOR is in the neighborhood of 14.1 volts DC. Charging voltages in excess of 14.1 volts will result in out gassing and severe overheating of the battery. This overheating can cause shorted cells in the battery because the heat causes distortion of the separators between the lead plates. Shorted cells are one of the primary causes of the death of a battery.
If you need further info I suggest a course in basic DC electricity at your local community college.

[replyingto=scootdoggydog]scootdoggydog[/replyingto]If you continue to doubt all the advice (correct advice I might add) that you have received you will most definitely be purchasing a new battery as well as a new reg/rec to replace the one you just cooked by overcharging at 17 volts. I don't know why you insist on not believing the advice of everyone here, but go ahead and prove it to yourself the hard (and more expensive) way.
