The R/R is the regulator/rectifier, and it turns a/c current into d/c, and regulates the voltage to the proper range. It is found in different places on scooters, but is usually under the front plastics. You can order replacements from many places, just be sure the wiring connections match.

I had an issue last year where I kept blowing my high beam, turned out my R/R was bad. Replaced it and I haven't had any issues since.

I usually give the used oil to my neighbor . he uses it in hi old truck. I have on occasion dumped the oil over the hill behind my house . just being honest. I know its not good to do , but I do it on occasion. I am so glad I'm not your neighbor! |

Many times clutch pads only need a light sanding to take the shine off. Two of the biggest causes of clutches wearing out quickly or getting slippery are high idle speed and throttle jerking while stopped.
When you set your idle, after getting it as high as you can with the a/f screw, you want to turn it down till the rear wheel is not turning, and then lower still so long as you have a steady idle. Keeping the idle close to the point the clutch engages and spins the wheel causes it to partially engage more often than necessary, wearing out the clutch pads faster. If your rear wheel turns while the enricher is still open, and you are happy with your overall CVT performance, you should start it on the center stand and wait for the enricher to close and the idle to drop down before putting it on the ground. Heavier roller weights can prevent this wheel motion while warming up, but may not perform to your liking, so as always with scooters it's a balancing act.
Blipping the throttle while stopped is even worse. You stress every part of the scooter when you do this on a CVT. I want to smack the idiots I see doing this in the back of the helmet, especially the ones with the throaty exhaust attempting to sound like a Hog. Instead I just leave them in my quiet dust as we take off when the light turns green, always puts a grin on my face!

If those are what you have, IMO, use the .038 on the intake and .051 on the exhaust. That will be the equivalent of roughly .04/.05 which will work fine on a 50cc. Is there any way on itstheride.boards.net to give "respect" points? This is an excellant example of helping another rider! Me being the rider recieving help. Nice post!

The aluminium plugs come out with just a bit more force than the brass ones, but the same method works fine.

.005" is about .05mm so you are good to go.

It will help, but you may have to wrap some duct tape around part of that uni, which defeats the purpose. You usually do need to up-jet the main when doing intake and exhaust mods.

Also be sure to note where the guide dowels go. My first BBK I put them on the wrong bolts and ended up with oil seepage, which cost me a new gasket set to fix, and having to basically do the entire build over.

Pull the engine, it's really not very difficult, and makes working on it much easier. Get a hose clamp that will fit around the piston, use it to compress the rings, then tap into the cylinder with ease (be sure to oil everything). An oil filter wrench works? I need to buy one for my Land Rover, kill two birds with one stone   Oil filter wrench will work so long as it can be tightened small enough. You can do it with your fingers, but some form of strapping makes it easier. |

2- If you are in a severe enough accident, they may investigate your scooter's mechanical condition. A quick measurement of the piston, and you could be denied your claim, and possibly prosecuted for fraud. Your talking about insurance on the scooter? or a health insurance claim? Insurance on the scooter. I have a friend who built a tiny house on a trailer. He had insurance for the trailer, but the load made it to heavy for the axle rating. He had an accident when moving it, the insurance company checked the wreckage, saw the axles, and denied the claim. |
