Both my Xingyue 16" and Znen 12" have rear disc brakes. The Znen could be converted to drum if needed - (parking brake?) Brakes are easy. Cooling is easy. Finding a donor... I found an SH150i wrecked, looked like it was mostly front end damage, strapped on its side to a skid. In Hawaii. I didn't follow up on the auction, but it was $100 when I saw it, but certain shipping would have been horrible. Found this down in Chicago: chicago.craigslist.org/nch/mcy/3990526243.html |

100cc flat 12.... Probably makes a ton more HP than our 150cc scooters! and sounds awesome! It makes the "Ferrari Music".

I did take a couple photos of my HID, but my cell phone auto-adjusts, no matter what I set it on. I'll try again with my camera. I should be able to lock it down.

massaging the mount to the motor, or to the frame, or who knows without doing it. The 150 motor hangs in the frame with the pivot just behind the intake at the top front of the case..
Have not seen a Kymco or Piaggio motor or mount to compare. But seeing all the clone/copies related to the 16" wheeled scooters, there are a lot of similarities.
Kymco and Honda and Suzuki 150's all start at 15hp and up. while the Xingyue is rated 8.something. They all look like siblings, include the CF-Moto E-charm and BMS Pathfinder
The higher horsepower versions are all liquid cooled. My frame has tabs I am sure are for a radiator, so finding or making one to fit begins with a clone original (Honda?) part.

[replyingto=tvnacman]tvnacman[/replyingto]The People 250 has big wheels, which my Xingyue also has.
Probably fairly cheap from a wrecked scooter.
It is hard to search for specific wrecks. Cycle salvage yards don't seem to be playing online yet.
The BV350 is 330cc: MAX POWER AT SHAFT: 32.8 hp at 8,250 rpm.
A wrecked People or BV would be easier / cheaper than building and boring out to a 232cc max for the GY6B

Wish I could find a Kymco people 250 engine - fuel injected, 20+hp, probably be a fairly easy fit into my Xingyue.

DX
Znen will hit 55mph GPS downhill with little wind is WOT. (The speedometer indicates 70mph!)
upjetted 118, 1" header, open muffler, pod air filter. 12Gram sliders - runs better, but hasnt gotten any faster.
But I am 235lbs
Xingyue hit 66 down a huge hill with a 25mph tail wind, at just over 10Krpm. I was 265 then.

The HIDs are supposed to be in the 35watt area which is considerably less than 55W.
Too much for a 50cc charging system? Donno.
Hate the blue and purples, I went with 6000K white.

I have not looked for any videos, but there are probably some that would eb helpful
I would measure the depth of the current hole, and use a drill stop or a rugged bit of tape to tell me when I've reached the depth. Drill slow and easy.

drill and retap for the 8mm studs... stronger, more durable. Dont over tighten with 6 or 8mm. The aluminum head and steel studs already have a tough life living together.

Whatever gauge the wire is that came with the stator and the regulator. The stator pigtail is connected directly to the regulator pigtail, no additional wires. Crimped on new spades, and stuck them right into the regulator connector.

I tried brushing the black against the ground and at idle the voltage stayed at 12.6VDC on the DVM
I tried again with a bit of reving, not a lot, cause I only have so many hands.
The DVM showed 14VDC while the gauge showed 13.5VDC.
I'll have to recheck the connections for the gauge. They were closer to even before.
brushing the black to ground makes no change.
