The JOG is a blinker that makes your taillight blink when you brake a few times. You can modify the settings on it. They are common with sportbikes.
The oil cooler does just as the name implies and cools your motor the help performance, alot of people in taiwan use them since they race them.

Ive pretty much avoided the center lane, any paint during the rain, any part of the road that is shimmery, and avoid the part of the turn at lights that has all those rocks and stuff kicked between the straight and turn lane. Almost laid down my ninja hitting that at 15mph.

Make him take the MSF, just incase he does choose a motorcycle. Gives a good experience. I took mine at 17.

So I was replacing my variater weights and stripped the nut. I'm not sure the size. I ordered an OEM however it says between 5-20 days. I bought a m12x1.25 and m12x1.50. They don't screw on very easily so I'm iffy on putting them on due to possibly ruining the crankshaft. Anyone know the exact size?

Just bought a 2006 Yamaha Vino 125 for 300$. Got it running after 4 years, it tops out at around 55-57mph. Looking to make it either got a little faster or hit that speed faster.
Other than throwing on 10g weights, anything else I can do? Don't know much about the variater or what kind I should buy. Have read about it a bit, but most information is on a 150cc or 50cc. Not 125cc.

As much as I dislike cruisers, I LOVE the look of that bike. Minus the V-Rod and the boulevard equivalent I've not really liked the look. They feel uncomfortable too. May have to run to the dealership and take an oogle of it.

Honestly I'd do as stated before and just suck it up. Buy a used scooter. In my area we have 150cc for under 1200$. I have a 125cc and it is rather weak for what I need. Luckily I'll be leaving soon and leave it to my fiance who doesn't mind cruising at 50mph.

New from Fort Bragg. Bought a 2006 yamaha vino 125 off a buddy for about 300$. Rebuilt the carb, changed spark plug, battery, and adjusted valves. I've rode a ninja 250R and a 600rr. Picked up the scooter to commute to work until I deploy in October. Looks brand new, was sitting for about 4 years. Had 1874 when I bought it. I'm at 2136 miles now. All in all put about 80$ to get it running and 2 evenings of work. Plan to add: Purple Neon Purple Halo Variater Belt Dr. Pulley 10g weights Phone/Accessory Jack Tachometer Chrome Cup Holder    |
