I'm installing my new ncy intake as we speak, its the new red design. Is it ok not to use the plastic spacer thing to the head? So far I'm going as follow: Intake to gasket, and straight to head. I even cut more of the engine shroud for a better flushed seal. Is this ok? Cause my brother is arguing with me telling me I need that spacer put on. Btw, my head is the ncy 61mm big valve head. How do you guys do it? Is there any performance difference in this new red design intake? Not sure about performance difference but for my bike this was the only intake I found that would work with my 30mm carb. I do think it is very high quality and more of a matched set for bbk and carb. So no complaints from me. |

This was my experience too. Sadly I have had to remove all together. Wasted over 400 ... Could have purchased a new motor with much coin. I may try again but support was severly lacking so im not to optimistic. If want injected just buy it.

With the current cold snap some might cave and volunteer to wear the vests now for any added warmth they may provide. Thats not "caving" its called choice. stay warm everyone. |

what is the penalty for not wearing a vest if that law goes into effect? that is usually why laws are written in the first place, just another tax law on the books. of course whoever produces those vests will benefit also. if riders want to make themselves more visible, we don't need government to do it for us. If you cause a problem that potentially impacts the rights of the many then there will be laws written to deal with the issue of the few or the one causing the problem. If too many riders don't follow good sense and if a root cause analysis shows that it was a poor or bad choice that caused the incidents then there will be laws written to protect the rights of the greater number of people especially once a repettative pattern developes. That is why we have building, fire, traffic, health and safety regulations. If everyone just showed good sense and made more appriate choices in riding gear with staying visible in mind then they would not be compelled to deal with it via regulation. Really caused by the few in the riding community who chose badly compelling the law makers to step in. Thats sounds about right conform to the Norm or we will make laws to make you conform. |

Just did this exact swap lost a lot of rpm same change 13 40 to 15 37. I too had a high tach but I lost a lot of rpm with this swap. Bike will go faster but takes longer cuz the motor has to wind up longer to reach power band I have stock 150 cc with big valve head that raised compression 1 point to 10:1. 10 gram sliders blue torque spring and 842 belt. Overall I like the gearing cuz motor is not reving like crazy at the top end.

This is an old Pitman arm puller that I had. Only slight modifications were required but it pulls the gear in 30 seconds Attachments:

Call a local dealer using the dealer locator on the sym website. Be warned you will have sticker shock. Probably more economical to buy the whole scooter. Or look for a wrecked one in your area. I always have this issue spend cash on the premium bike or build what I want as cheap as possible .... Good luck!
