Scoot, a lean main jet will give you a little better acceleration. Wile your 115 might have been optimum the only real way to tell is to do a plug chop.

Pretty cool.. One of my favorite artists is a guy named Tom Thum who does pretty much the same thing only using kaos pads to loop his sound. They in no way other than a lil reverb alter his sounds like some who use synthesizers.

Someone on a scoot was just rear ended and killed here locally. Driving or stopped I always try to keep one eye on my mirrors.

seamus26 I'm running a hose connected to a uni filter. All my emissions stuff ended up in the bin next to the air box.

Same box I have, and they are a bear to get out/in the bike. The first time I pulled mine out I thought I had cracked the snorkel working it away from under the body, but looking more closely it had already been glued once. So, guess what. I glued it again. That's why when I first pulled mine out I tossed it right into the trash. |

I'm curious if anyone else here has a speedo that is accurate ? Mine's actually pretty dead on. With my mods I hit 60 with no problem and the engine is still pulling hard. |

lots of times when the belt pops it can get shredded by the fins on the variator. One member actually put his variator cover on backwards...instant belt mulch.

It's hard to say why it broke..You really didn't give any symptoms prior to it breaking. But sometimes belts do just break so...
When you put your new belt on leave the cover off and run up the RPMs wile the scoot is still on the stand so you can watch how high on the variator the belt climbs. It's not supposed to, but due to what ever reason, a belt will climb too high and slip off of the pulley. If that's is what's happening you may need too add a shim behind the variator bos to keep it from climbing so high. It should only go to about an eight of an inch from the top of the pulley.
Also you should pull apart your clutch and inspect the inner part here the swing arms are. Sometimes material from a shredded belt can get in there and cause problems.
Your clutch pads might be glazed, jut hit them with some sand paper an scuff them up. I forget what causes this but it has to do with improper breaking in of the clutch. Perhaps another member can enlighten us on the does and don'ts of clutch break in.

Naa I'm not covering the whole seat with it. When fitting the skin I first laid to whole skin on the seat and it covered all of it. It really was just too much fir. I took and cut a piece just large enough to cover my butt pan I have molded into the leather and that looked way better. Because it's stark WHITE, I'll only use it on long rides. The cool thing about this stuff is it can be hand washed and hung to dry.
As an added bonus I enough left over to make a sweet coat for my american bulldog.

Been working on my seat a bit lately. I've added a very luxurious full wool on sheep skin. The side with the wool that I sit on gives about 2 inches of compressed I haven't had a chance to really put it thought it's paces, but can tell you i'm seeing significant improvements. I know that adding some padding wouldn't be hard to incorporate ea closed cell foam for even would give you the best response.
Pix will be up soon..

If i do, it will be a wile before I can. I can say with pretty good confidence that my cutting out problem and running lean are 2 different issues.

I have to admit, I've never really looked at these things. Figured you either need a lathe to use it or it was a gimmick. If it's as simple as bolting it to your case and using a slow drill, and it works, it's well worth the price. That is if you plan on running the GY6 platform for any real length of time.

Geh, forr what it's worth, I'm also using a 30mm carb with 44 pilot and a 130 main. Even then I'm running a touch lean on the high side and have yet to try a 140 main. I'm hesitant to do so because a 140 is a heck of a jump and think I could fine tune it better with a 32mm carb and smaller jets.
Why you get away with it and why I believe I can get away with it has a lot to do with the other mods we've made. Little changes have a big impact on these little motors. During this time of year we get serious temp swings from day to day, heck from morning to noon can often see a 25 degree jump in the temp outside. For my motor to run perfect (i'm kinda OCD about this) requires an adjustment of the air fuel screw for every 20 or so degrees the temp changes.
I ported the crap out of my head, matched the porting to the spacer between the ram intake and the head, and then matched the manifold to the spacer. So there is nothing but smooth surface through my fuel delivery to the valves. I also worked the header mount and header pipe to smooth down anything that may inhibit flow. Add the extra velocity my tunnel ram creates and a fat cam and it makes perfect sense why I'm running lean with a 30mm carb.
