I just received my screw nuts today, yaaay. Jerry, good call on testing out the taps on the nut to determine measurement!  Team work makes the dream work.  Going to try this out will post results soon. Thanks everyone for feedback. |

I will try forcing the nut first like you suggested Jerry. but I checked with my local Autozone parts, and it looks like they have this set as a loner tool deposit about $  bucks which I would get back, sweet!! but my question now is does anyone know the die measurement I should use? or is there a way to figure it out with tool set in hand? I think I read some were that it was M12 1.25, can anyone confirm this? |

This is a 150cc, you mention "chase the threads", sorry a bit noob could you elaborate on this?
Revisiting: Ok so I was able to find this youtube video on chasing threads:
I guess I need a die tool, I believe the nut is a M12 so does this mean I need a die tool M12? confused.

Well this was not the first time I had took the variator out, previously I had changed out the rollers. This time around looking at the nut I had a gut feeling that it was time to change it out because it just looked very warn out from the inside, I should have waited for the new nut to come in. Here are the pictures, hope it can help with suggestions, not to clear but you can see the inside of the old nut melted to the threads. The nut it self is wiped clean from the inside just smooth all around.   |

Hey guys,
I was swapping out my variator today and I think I may have stripped the spline, but I think I may be able to fix it any suggestions will help.
So while removing my nut with the impact gun I notice smoke coming out and the nut came off, well it seems like the aluminum of the nut melted between the spline threads. Am thinking maybe with a torch I could melt the aluminum between the threads off, would this be wise? or I have order a new nut and it should be here in a couple of days should I try to force it and re thread back in?

Thanks to everyone's suggestions.
I do have an alarm/radio unit, so based on some of the suggestions most likely this will be the culprit, plus I do have about 4500 miles on the original battery so I will also have it checked, as some threads recommend to change it out upon getting a Chinese scoot (Motobravo Phantom GTX). Also no kick starter took it off.
In addition I took the liberty in ordering two Coleman 2w Solar Panels to assist in maintaining full charge, going to try one for the scoot and one for the deep cycle battery, or I guess I could do both under a parallel setup for just the scoot if need too. I will see if this works, plus I figure they can come in handy if the grid ever goes down lol.

So I take it a straight jumper cable hook up left over the days I don't use the scooter wont due much help.
Being that I keep the scooter outside the simplest thing for me is to post up that deep cycle battery next to it, rather than running extensions back to nearest home outlet which I think a battery tender would need if am correct.
jjoshua you mentioned "Connecting an adapter to the car battery would work though"
What kind of adapter do you mean?
Options:
1. Splice the Battery Tender Adapter's AC cord and connect it directly to car battery. (Unsure of outcome)
2. Perhaps invest in an inverter 500-750w so I can plug in the Battery Tender and run from battery.
3. Slap a solar panel on the scooter, lol..
Any other ideas?

Hi guys,
So I have a GY6 150cc that I use mostly as a daily driver to work during the week, but come weekend I do not use it and after two days or so of no use, battery is practically drain and after a few cracks it dies. I have a deep cycle 12v car battery in my garage that I have sitting around which I charge up periodically to use on outdoor activities, my question was could it be possible to hook up jumper cables from scooter to this battery during those couple of days of no usage in order to stop or limit the draining? Am just tired of having to pull out my battery charger and wait for hours to charge up again.
