I apologize in advance for asking this question, but I have to ask. I'm no expert mechanic, although I am aspiring towards it, and everyday I learn something new. I tried searching the forum as well as the web, but all I could find is internet slang for "Boy Better Know" lol. From what I have gathered it seems to be some sort of aftermarket upgrade. I'm all about upgrading my Chinese scoot to get everything out of it that I can and to increase the longevity of it.
So...what is BBK?

sorry to revive an old thread but retrobrian, do you still have the link for those instructions? My scoot came with a Steelmate alarm as well.

alleyoop
I checked out your link and I tried checking U.S.A. Shipping and it bugged out or something. Didn't give me a carrier or any rates and I couldn't click the ok button. Looks like a good option but I'd like to be able to get just that double elbow piece without the added turbine-looking-led-filter. Not to mention it seems they don't want it being shipped to the US

Oh yeah baby that exhaust gasket with two new nuts and some elbow grease did the trick! Super sexy with no more Harley sound lol. Runs so much smoother. I can't thank you guys enough for your direction and help.

well then..omw home from my dad's everything completely shut off on me. Couldn't even turn my emergencies on. Didn't have any screw drivers on me to access the battery, so I had my dad come drive some out to me. As it turns out, the fuse that went to the battery was blown. Thankfully I had a spare right next to it in the casing.
Changing that one little fuse fixed the startup issue and the brake light issue. At least it was an easy fix! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

No I don't have instructions for it. I got the scoot used off craigslist. It worked fine after changing the speedo cable and giving it about a 7 mile test run. Started up fine after I replaced the spark plug. Started up a couple times after that. Then when I went to go home, it revved a few times without turning over, then just completely stopped doing anything. I'm fairly positive that the remote I have is meant for starting only. Not turning it off. I just hit the kill switch to turn it off. Always have. Thing is I almost always use the key method. Didn't even realize that I had a remote start until I started playing around with it.

Just tried your suggestion and when I try to shut it off using the remote it seems it's trying to start while it's already running rather than shut itself off
EDIT: also the same time this started happening, the brake light stopped working. All of the running lights work but when I press the front brake, the brake light doesn't get brighter like it used to. Seems like an electrical issue.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've got a better idea of what I need now.
Hey Idthpp, do you think you could find a link or part number to the intake tube that you have? That looks perfect.

Hello everyone this is my second topic, second upgrade, and my first scooter so forgive me if my terminology isn't perfect.
So basically I'm trying to upgrade to the UNI inline air filter that seems to be quite popular around here. I already have it in my possession and I've attempted to remove the stock intake and replace it with the new one.
The problem is that it seems I need some sort of 45 degree extension so that the new intake isn't crushed between the chassis and the engine. I've tried searching for such a part but have yet to find anything that fits my needs. Basically it needs to have an o-ring clamp (the same size) on both sides with a 45 degree angle to give clearance for the new filter.
Again I've had no luck finding such a part so if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Alrighty I just received the gasket alleyoop suggested, new exhaust nuts, as well as an ngk iridium spark plug (as I'm sure it still has the original). And hopefully I can get that installed today. My band has a show tonight, and practice in a few hours so I might not have time. But I have the weekend off so it'll get done soon enough!
Thanks guys for all your time and help, I greatly appreciate it!

Yes it's a 150cc. And thanks I'll check that out tomorrow and go get some nuts when there's some daylight out.

Awesome response thank you very much! I looked in the spot suggested, and sure enough, one of the nuts was missing. Not sure about the gasket but it's most likely gone. Is there any way you could point me to a new gasket and maybe the exhaust nuts you were mentioning? Thanks again for the help.
