If the stator is bad, it will probably cost you  bucks either way you go, by the time you buy tools for the job. You will need the puller for the stator rotor but it's a good investment. regulator/rectifier (reg/rac) will run around 30 bucks. In any event, you will need to get a meter to trouble shoot it. |

Why not have a universal frame that accepts either engine.? By the same token, I'd like to see a low cost 50 to 150cc conversion kit crowd sourced. Plug and play FI for 50, 150 and 250's would be another interesting crowd source project.

I'm practically a squid... I wear a full face helmet, leather gloves, always a long sleeve shirt and usually a jacket (not armored) and steel toed reboks. I really need to get an armored jacket, armored gloves and a new helmet. Oh yea, I desperatly need to get some boots as every bike I seem to get is way heavier then the last. Squid huh? Then where are your shorts, T shirt, and flip-flops?  I'm not quite that bad.... but I wear next to no protection... |

I went to my weekly Bible study last Thursday evening. I pulled up on my Burgman and I got a response from one guy who said and I quote..."If it had been a Harley, I'd been impressed." I then asked him what he rode and he said, he used to ride a Harley but, his wife made him give riding up years ago when he was involved in two incidents back to back. I said..that's not "cool" Then at the end of the night, another guy approached me as I was getting ready to pull away, he thought my scoot was really cool. Then the next day two women complimented the bike as I was filling my tank up. Moral of the story...some guys like things BIG, especially here in Texas. For whatever reason they think BIG is cool. BIG pick-up trucks are very common. It's a macho thing imo.....some guys must be motivated by some sort of psychological insecurity they possess. They have to prove to everyone bigger is better. Personally, I love all the storage room the Burgman possess.On guy on You Tube had his Burgman 400 clocked at 170 KM.....that's 106 mph to you an me. I'll never need to go that fast, but it's nice to know it can. I also think the Burgman is safer to ride. No downshifting in case of the need for a sudden stop. Yea, sometimes I have to deal with the "cool factor"...but, hey. at 54, "coolness" is not a priority anymore. I'm riding, and the Harley guy with the wife....well he hasn't been riding in years. The big modern scoots are nothing to sneeze at... They will get up and flat boogie ( I know my 500 does ). I still havn't held my 500 wide open to see what she will do... I just don't want the ticket. Fastest I've gone with it is and she had plenty left... I see bobbers and sporters on the highway from time to time, and those guys look so uncomfortable, same with the rocket boys.... My bike is comfy and will do all the legal stuff they can do. They may be quicker, they maybe faster, but you really gonna use all that? I'd rather be comfortable. That's not to say I wouldn't be drawn to the mistiqe of a vintage Hog... As they are visually interesting and and I am admittly curious to throw a leg over and see what all the hub bub is about. |

I've spent about 8 hours googling for this headlight. I did find it on a parts diagram, but no way to buy it. So, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna just wire a driving light in. He won't have high beams and Low beams, but it will work for him. Tomos has something close on some of thier mopeds, but I'm not sure it will fit correctly.

Funny.... Air cooled VW's used the same set up... Just a sump screen. We used to change the oil every 1500 and run the valves every 3000. The valve adjusters are amazingly similar. My '82 goldwing uses the same adjuster design as well. I guess if something works well you don't redesign it.

I sorta worked on my scooter... sorta.... I actually did a valve adjustment on my old scooter that I traded for the busted down goldwing. He was having the usual problems... dyeing at lights etc. Runs like buttah now. Second valve adjustment I've done in two weeks on two different bikes.

I've been. It's time to email a few of them. I googled before I asked. I really thought this bike was a bit more common then it is parts wise. Maybe it's too new?

I've gone thru all the banner sites and no dice. This is the 150cc that looks like a Honda Big Rukus.
