bought a 2 stroke 50cc upgraded to 100cc .oil tank is gone, so gas and oil in the tank. Ive read that premixing the gas and oil should be done in a 1 gallon gas can, but also read some say its safe to just mix it up in the tank while filling up at the gas station. If I put 3.5oz of 2 stroke oil in a near
empty tank, then add gas from the pump, is it safe? Is there a correct way to do it? Like add a little gas, then a little oil, and repeat?

After the boards went down for a lil while, at least for me, I decided to mess around with the oil tank.



I noticed that the sensor thing was very loose, and couldnt get it back on tight. When I pulled it out i noticed it had like a floater on it, im guessing all similar to a fuel sensor thing. Noticed it was positioned at the bottom, so i positioned it back
to the top, then turn the key to the on position, and red light as well as sound was gone. Sorry the sound happens at the same time with the red light. Its like a electrical beep. It always happens if im running low on oil, its a loud and annoying sound.

Did I solve the problem or did I just mask a problem? Also do you think it would be a good idea to try and seal up that sensor. I am also losing oil that way. If so any recommendations of what to use? Thanks for the help.

I spent some time taking a part my bike today. It was raining mid way through so i had to stop. I havent tried to start her at all, except for in the morning when i woke up before i started taking the bike apart, and by the end of the day I didn't accomplish much except knowing that the belt wasn't the problem.

I opened up the air filter, and immediately oil starting spilling out. It was brownish color. Took the filter out and it was semi soaked in it. i took the whole thing off and washed it casing and all, although I been having a hard time putting it back on to the pipe it was connected to, spent about 20min trying to do it, but just couldn't get a fit, then it started getting dark so i stopped.

I checked the belt also and it looks fine.I wouldn't think cleaning out the air filter would solve the problem, and I havent put the parts back on yet. I read on another site that oil in the air filter could be a carb problem?

Any suggestions on what else I should start diagnosing, or should I just have it taken to a mechanic?

Typing this on my mobile so sorry for any grammar. Its been bugging me that sometimes the traffic light wont change for my scooter, and wondering why. Is there some kind of detectors and its not picking up my ride. I once waited 5min. Sometimes I have to wait till a car pull s up behind me just for the light to turn green what's up with that?

I had to go to the post office today, then on my way to the store i was making a right turn. It was raining a little, and the ground was wet. I slowed down before the turn, then in a second my bike slid before I knew it I hit the ground and my head bounced a few times as well as my body bounced and rolled until I was flat on my back. I tried to get up but couldn't at the moment cause the pain or impact kinda put my body in some sort of shock. When I did get up there were all these guys asking If I was ok, and one of them said "its a good thing you were wearing that helmet." When I sat up I did a body check see If I had any wounds and besides a few scrapes, the one right on my knee stood out cause a small amount was missing. At the time it seemed pretty deep, but it was semi. A lifeguard was around by chance and he pulled out his med kit and did a temp clean just a little and dressed it, a cop came later also.

My bike barely took any damage. there was only 1-2 small scratches the barely noticeable kind, and the medium sized gash was on the bottom near the footrest which doesnt bother me as its kinda white/silverish anyway. My right mirror got busted though and broke off when it hit the ground.

At the time I wasn't wearing pants, and the biggest damage to my body couldve been avoided if i had been. I was wearing gloves, boots, and a helmet though. There was some scrapes on the back and front of the helmet near the mouth. I went home then changed into pants and a jacket and drove myself to the hospital after looking over the wound in the bathroom. They scrubbed and flushed it which hurt a lot and I was on my way.

I never thought it would happen to me, but it finally did. Later I went to the store with a fam member to go pick up bandages and noticed that the place where I crash also had pedestrian cross walk white stripes, which may or may have not contributed to the skid. I would have worn my helmet anyway, just cause it was raining to begin with, but im glad i had a helmet on anyway, just wish I had some pants on. I wasnt scared to ride again, but I was worried about rain, and turns now. Before I was worried when I would ride in the rain, but have done it often to where I felt less worried. There was only one other time where it rained and felt if I was almost going to slid at a turn but didnt.

Honestly though, when I saw and heard the mirror busted in my head I was disappointed. It's kinda weird, but while this was all happening in a split second, I felt safe, and felt that nothing major was going to happen, but felt disappointed that this was my first crash, and that my bike was possibly damaged other than the mirror. Now, I need some new pairs of pants and a new mirror. I still like wearing t-shirts, but I dont want the same crap on my arm that I got on my leg. I still havent bought a proper jacket yet, cause money is tight and need it for other things. It's irony im the one who posted about how i dislike wearing a helmet, but today it potentially saved me from something worse.

Also, i know this doesnt pertain to a lot of people, but I was also wearing an electronic cigarette around my neck on a lanyard. My chest hurt for a while later, but now its gone. My e-cig is fine..lol, but thought it was busted up the way it was looking on the ground. I was always worried about having it around my neck when driving, but if I would put it in my pocket, the cartomizer bent once, and that wasted $3. I thought then thought I should put it in my trunk but it would roll around and bounce in there, and I like to smoke sometimes while at stoplights and heavy traffic. I dunno how potentially dangerous it is, but I know it is dangerous. I do have a cushion case for it, looks like I wont be smoking at stop lights from now on unless I fit the case in my pocket..

that was so effing hilarious i couldnt stop laughing ahaha. PS i like oldchopperguys stories also. I dont want a bigger helmet the thing looks big on me already i look like im wearing a fish bowl. i wonder if it looks that way and the size is bigger cause they built in a drop down/up shade system inside. I measured my head before i bought it, and the size chart just about matched. When I first got it i had to break it in, i had the painful ear syndrome. I guess i should just sell it on CL, then use the money to go buy another one.

I guess you guys made some points like road rash and impact. You guys made me feel scared straight so i guess its a helmet no matter how short the trip. What do you guys think about not tying the strap /locking strap? The helmet is kinda hard to rip off my head, i dont think it would roll off if something happened, i dunno never heard stories of something like that.
