Update:::: ok so i continue on with my tire project. Today i took off the front tire, actually i teared it apart, not gonna re-use it again anyways. Gave me abit of trouble but i did it (yes!) then i put on a NCY all-metal valve stem, just one cause im waiting for the other one in the mail. So here is where it gets intresting, when i was putting on the stem the nut did want to grip on the thread due to the rubber washer being too fat. I read somewhere on a scoot forum that someone had this same issue but they just took off one of the washers of the 2, this is a bad move cause then it wont seal. This is what i did, i used a metal file stick. I filed the hole on the rim then i took sandpaper, laid it flat on a table then i put the fat washer on top of the sandpaper and started to thin it out, just alittle, just enough so the nut can grip the thread then i could just tighten it. VIOLA! it worked. Called it a day, stay tuned tomorw...  |

Yo scooterists Doing a new project with my tires, replacing my rear tire with a new one, changing the valve stems on both and moving my rear old tire to the front, doing this all by myself. I tried removing my rear tire, everything went fine until i came upon the wheel nut, issue is i dont really have a good grip on it. so i went to harbor freight tools (cheap home depot) to by a bigger ratchet (1/2 drive) & socket (21mm) which it was the WRONG measurement for the wheel nut :'(Does anyone know the socket measurement for the wheel nut on a gy6 150? Also when i took off my front wheel it was easier (took off the nut with a regular tire cross bar) but when i took off the speedo puck this metal part came out quick and i didnt get to see how it was inside, here is a pic, does the threaded part go inside or towards the outside?   |

Why does my exhaust header have a hose? I checked a whole bunch of exhausts on ebay and none of them have a hose?

Is it fine to spray paint your scoot muffler with regular spray paint? i painted the front part (header) only of the muffler cause it was corrosive.

Ill tell you a story how i found out that china tire valves are no good. One day when i came out of work, i usually tie my front wheel with a metal chain link around a sign post but that day without me noticing, i tied the chain right next to the valve stem so when i was unlocking my scooter, i hit the stem with my chain and i heard air pressure release, it wasnt much force. the tire lost alittle air but i could drive home, i live 10 mins away from my job. Ever since that day i said, i gotta change these stems as soon as possible. Thank god this didnt happen to me while riding.  |

im in the same boat, time to upgrade my stock tires after using them for 1 yr and 5 mths. I actually bought today the KENDA k413 tires (4 ply) and all metal valves. Havent had any issues with the stock tires but just to be safe i wanna replace them cause the stock/china tires are low quality.
