Awesome!! Nice eye for details. Looking at the visual cues, it seems as though you're spot on. Thank you!! Now I have an idea of how much this will cost me overall. |

I get what you mean and didn't mean there to be confusion in that. I was using the engine design as a reference cue rather than the step through design found on scooters. It's not really a moped either though seeing as though it can't be peddled. But in looking at the engine, it looks as though the type of engine you'd find on a scooter.

I'm currently looking into purchasing another scooter and came across this particular one that is for sale local to me. Does anyone know what this scooter is and what its possible specs are?  |

My favorite clip was around 5:20 Lesson(s) learned: - Motorcycle safety goes a long way
- Remain defensive while riding
- and don't do stupid things while riding (same rules applies to passengers)

So after changing the engine mount bushings, I've found my ride to be a lot better and without the tire rub from before (even while leaning into turns). I've attached pictures of my former gremlins below. I'm not sure how well you all might be able to see the cracks and separations in the bushings, but if I were to put a bolt through each of them and wiggle it around, you'd be able to see the separation much better (Keep in mind that the old bushings could be up to 10 years old as I'm not sure how much the previous owner changed on the scooter during his ownership).    Thank you again to alleyoop for pointing me in the right direction of where to get the replacements. |

Thank you for the heads up alleyoop. I went back and browsed some more and found some other things that I wish I had found earlier so that site will definitely be saved to my toolbar. Thank you again!!

Awesome!! Thank you for the very quick reply and the link. That's a whole lot cheaper than the price I was ready to pay for buying those separate.

I apologize in advance if this information is posted elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it as of yet. I've tried searching online for a diagram or layout of the 139QMB engine parts and keep coming up short however I change the phrase. So with that, my question is if anyone knows the engine mount bushing size(s) for this engine? I was able to find the suggestion that was made on the old forum as to how to get them out so I will definitely be using that technique.
My motivation behind changing them is that when ever I lean into a turn (usually a right turn), I can hear the tire rubbing against the suspension. I've already checked for free-play on the spindle and come up clean and have checked the tires normal spin pattern and found that not to be problematic either. I will admit that most parts that I haven't upgraded or changed on this scooter are roughly 10 years old so they are being changed out regardless.
But, back to the original questions topic. When I checked the engine mount bushing on the left side it was indeed dry, cracked and in need of replacement.

Lol, I call mine Roxanne as well, but not for the same reason.  |

Nice job with the saddlebags. I had considered buying some for myself some time ago, but I couldn't figure out how I would mount them on my scooter. I believe that the way you've gone about it would definitely work for my setup as well. Thank you for the idea.

Thank you!!! In NC, scooters / mopeds that have a 50cc engine or smaller are not required to be registered (along with some other little qualifiers), but in my search for body parts and what not, I have found many clones share the body part types. The Milano TNG, Tank Urban Scooters (TK150T-15 and TK150QT-15), the Sunny (I can't find the exact model), the Dazon, and even my Wahoo Classic JJ seem to be cloned from the Yamaha Vino. I'm not going to say that each of those scooter builds are 100% compatible with body parts, but from the parts I have ordered and cross-referenced, they have all fit.
As a side note, I've already ordered a set of replacement tires and the tools required to change them. I figured it's better to be safe than sorry being the second owner of a 10 year old scooter. I also went ahead and bought some rear brake pads to change while I'm at it.

And there we have it. I finally received the remaining parts that I needed to get my scooter running (quite possibly could have been the only part after the batter that I truly needed). Here are some pictures of the semi finished scooter (not all trim has been placed back on it yet ). The pictures and video are below. Thank you everyone for the votes of support  . I haven't painted the bottom side panels just yet, but those should be on by the end of the weekend. All the other panels have been painted as can be seen in the pictures.     Just in time for the Memorial day weekend  . |
