Hey everyone, I still have my 150, and I'm looking to get a cfmoto v5 soon. I've been having a heck of a time working the google search engine on here. I've found some things at the old scootdawg. I have been reading about overheating problems with them but not finding any silver bullet fixes. Not much any resolutions whatsoever really? Just hoping to get some input from many of the knowledge base that is superior to everyone else here at the ride. Hope to hear from you soon.

Once per revolution. Like a 2 stroke.

Well everyone, I haven't been around in quite some time....because my cheap Chinese bag o crap works well, and I did Learn everything about it from here so thank you all! So, while still being broke most the time, I just picked up an old Kawasaki jet ski! I think basic principals still apply, though I never dealt with tuning 2 stroke, I find references very similar. Thanks all!

Maybe one of your rollers went sideways? Very easy to check if plug is loose. Don't have to Hulk it on, just snug with no more pressure than your wrist can put.

I would check the a/f screw. Make sure it contains all the parts. Take it all the way out. Should be a spring and washer pressing an o ring on the inside. Clean the carb while your at it.

I must have some jacked up head shape because I can't wear most ff helmets unless they're 2x size. My cheap wal mart 1/2 helmet size L fits perfect. I have a 3/4 XL that rubs my 4head something fierce. Size L HJC pretty nice helmet that's completely unwearable to me. Paid a lot for that helmet, thought it would fit like my 1/2 helmet.
And some cheap HCI FF helmets size 2X that barely fit. The 2X helmets are enormous! Won't come close to fitting in my trunk.

There was a fellow on scootdawg that was into electrics...maybe it was warstein, or warrens IDK? Think he had like a 5000watt that was quite comparable to a 150cc. Not Cheap I remember, buthe spoke highly of its performance.

Whatever size belt you get, I'd recommend getting a good name "Gates" or "Bando" belt.
I ripped through a few $10 eBay specials, they just suck. Lucky to get 1000 chinometers before they explode into a foam rubber mess in your cvt.

Agreed. Though I really don't like vista. 7 is good. With Microsoft, it's an every other operating system kind if deal.

I agree with everything, but just to add. Scooter Tires can be quite different. They can look good, feel good, but still be totally flat. You'll know instantly when you try to ride with a flat tire. It steers very tough.

Well, I busted the ol ride out of winter storage to get ready for nice weather this weekend. Checked the battery, put it back in and it's not very good  it can turn the engine over about 5 seconds, then it is dead. Fortunately, my battery charger has jump start capabilities. Though it did take a few tries, I got her running. While I was waiting for the charger to cool down,checked the scoot out a bit. Both tires were very low, so I aired them up. I noticed the back tire was wobbly loose. I had to get a 21mm socket to tighten up the swing arm nut. It was most likely loose when I put it away last, just didn't notice it. I'm glad I caught that as it would have very likely torn some more stuff up if left loose. So, I couldn't help myself but to ride around town for a few minutes. I wished I would have put my windshield back on, but it was very windy so maybe it's better that I didn't yet. I'll most likely be putting a Walmart el cheapie battery back in there before summer. |

55 @7100 is excellent. I wouldn't change a thing.

Drop the diaphragm needle a notch? Re-adjust a/f screw.
