Hi All, would like some advise. How many miles can I get on these tires? I only got about 4k miles on mine, is that normal? what is recommended and can I buy a better tire that last longer and performance better?
My scooter uses a 3.50-10 white wall, but it does not have to be...
Thank you

i was thinking 16x38, it is tempting, but I will stick to your suggestion and go with 15x38. Man my belt broke again after 2k miles, grrr maybe its over stretching? my scooter uses a Gates Powerlink Premium Belt 743-20-30 i guess I will have to change it every couple of oil changes  |

Hi All, I messed around with the scooters a bit today, and I ended up putting a bigger jet in (130 from 128) and it feels perfect. I even tried a 140 main jet but it felt way too rich. I'll have to buy a 135 jet.
I think i definitely need gears, and I need some suggestions. My buddy thinks my scooter has enough torque to pull the 16x38 gears. Please keep in mind my scooter is a retro looking scooter (like a vespa) on 10 tinny inch wheels.
should I try the 16x38 or 15x38?
Also I need a new rear tire after about 4k miles, is there anything out there that would last a bit longer? Am I correct to think that do gears the rear wheel has to come off pretty much?
Thank you - Luigi

I have some exiting news to share. One of my buddies works at a tuning shop and he just bought a Honda Grom so together with another friend we been riding together every now and then. Anyway he is putting together a scooter tuning session for us so we can get the most out of our scooters, We are going to hook them up to the dyno and read air to fuel ratios as well. scooter #1 (mine) has ncy 61mm bbk with ncy 30mm carb and a9 camshaft plus exhaust and uni filter scooter #2 has no bbk, but bored out head, exhaust and intake manifold all bored out to match and A12 or A11 camshaft Groom #3 still mostly stock with after market exhaust only Its going to be a fun night it is probably going to happen in the next couple of weeks. Stay tune for updates   |

I put the air filter cover back on and the scooter runs a lot better does not feel as lean anymore. It seems that the intake manifold spacer that bolts to the head is really limiting fuel.

i had the old rubber gasket which I brought with me at home depot and the O ring was the same exact size and popped right into the top of the chain tension er, it was a perfect fit. I went for another ride and no oil drops. Now back to tuning |

Hi all, here is an update. After fixing the oil leak due to the chain tensioner center bolt missing I am back in business.
I made the following changes:
1) Add the 12 grams roller back
2) removed the air filter cover off the box to give it more air
3) added 5mm insulator spacer
after installing heavier rollers still hitting 8k rpm easy not even at full throttle so I think gears are next
interesting enough with no uni filter on scooter ran great, when i put the air box tube with the uni filter and no cover it seems it get even more air and it runs lean, so I'll have to put the cover back on and confirm it does fix the lean sensation at full trottle.
the spacer i got is 25mm and it might be restricting some fuel so i ordered a 27MM or might not use one at all
That is the update I have for now - Luigi

well, i bought a new bolt, washer and o ring at home depot for a total of $4 but i have like 20 washers and o rings now... lol
it was a perfect fit. The leak is mostly gone, but I do not know for sure yet. Went for a 10 minute ride, parked the scotter an hour later found one or two drops of oil, but could be old oil since I really did not do a good job cleaning it all out...
anyway I am not going to worry about it if it one drop here and there...
