I notided that scooterdepot sells their own Znen scoots, instead of the ones from large US-based distributors like BMS & SSR.
This should be a disadvantage when dealing with warranty.
However, superiorpowersports does carry BMS & SSR branded scoots.
Has anybody had any experience dealing with Superior's warranty service on BMS & SSR (both Znen distributors)?
Otherwise, for me living in SoCal, I rather go straight to SSR or BMS front-door to buy a scoot.
I know someone who bought directly from BMS, and SSR has told me about general scooter pricing over the phone.

Folks, thanks for the insight. I think I settled for the following setup: 1. Cheap 4 main-jet set from China for just under $9 @ EBay: 105, 110, 115, 120, or something like that 2. Uni-Filter: 42mm x 102mm long (4in long), dual layer, the red-one --> gives me the choice to remove the red-sleeve if needed. 15deg angled, $16.  @ Amazon www.amazon.com/Uni-2-Stage-Filter-Length-UP4182AST/dp/B000WJIX6W3. Home-Depot PVC 1-1/4" x 10ft Schedule 40. Only need 2inches, but what the heck, $4.39 for 10-ft. OD comes to 1.66in=42mm exactly www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-4-in-x-10-ft-PVC-Sch-40-DWV-Plain-End-Drain-Pipe-1586/100147742#.Ua2ZldhH6jwThe PVC 1-1/4" 4. Home Depot 1-1/4" to 1-1/4" coupling. 2.25" long. $5.50. www.homedepot.com/p/Fernco-1-1-4-in-x-1-1-4-in-Flexible-PVC-Coupling-P1056-125/100055392#.Ua2ZndhH6jwSo it will be: 1. Stock Carburator PD24 (stock 24mm 150cc GY6 Carb) 2. 150cc GY6 4-unit main-jet kit $9 2. Home-Depot 1-1/4" to 1-1/4" coupling @ 2.25" long $4.39 3. Home-Depot 1-1/4" PVC Piple, only 2-3" long $5.50 4. UNI Filter 44mm x 105mm long (or 4.133") $16. Total Materials: $35.77 |

I want to get people's suggestions for an Aftermarket Air-Filter, aka "freeflow filter" or "performance air filter"
I have a 150cc gy6 scooter with a small-frame.
It is a Lance Venice, aka BMS Romans, Roketa Sicily, and SSR Metro.
It has a short-case engine, and they have that typical tight spot between the carburetor and stock air-filter box-and-hose-assembly, along with a suspension cross-member running across it.
I'm looking for suggestions on ready-to-fit air filter, whether it's straight or angled.
I'm also looking for suggestions on using universal air filter, even if I have to fabricate small parts using Home-Depot sourced ABS piping and coupling.
Thanks.
that has one of those 10in

I just sent them an e-mail, asking them which stator it comes with. Thanks |

I'm looking to get a New GY6 150cc Short-Case w/ 12-Pole Stator (DC CDI) to replace a blown.
Does anybody have any idea where I could get one?
From the places that sell them, I see some that come with the "small cased CDI", so I assume they are AC-System.
I could insert my old flywheel & stator, but it would be nice not to touch that as well as having a brand new stator.
I tried asking questions to Puma Cycle's EBay listing, but no response.
Thanks

I assume you adjusted the valves already, correct?

I'm asking for suggestion for what kind of tool to buy to pull the gear on the variator side.
I need to split the case, remove the damaged crankshaft, and then decide if the case is still good enough for a rebuild.
I would prefer an affordable Harbor Junk tool as I don't know when I may use it again.
The last thing I want to do is to have to custom-weld a tool as shown on the Youtube link below.
Thank you,

Dont block the hose on the valve cover i did a job and it got kinked when i opened the oil screw i got a face full of hot oil  Good to know. I was about to do that on my next motor that had the PAIR system. I love how certain valve heads have the shape to connect "EGR" valve covers, but it's completely blocked. It saves a lot of hassle from having to "blocking" it yourself. |

You could call the distributors directly, see if they could help you finding parts. I've called SSR and got quoted for Short-Case engine over the phone for walk-in retail customer. Tell them "SSR Pacifica 150" SSR Motorsports. www.ssrmotorsports.com562-926-2888 M-F 9a-5:30p --> Pacific Time Tell them "BMS Kerrigan" BMS Motor is in Southern Cal as well. I haven't tried calling them, but I have a friend who bought his scooter directly www.bmsmotor.com626-810-8877 --> Pacific Time |

Has anyone experienced unbalance/vibration due to the slight "defacing" of the Fan Plate? About one circle worth of gouges into it.
Has anyone experienced unbalance/vibration due to the Variator Boss ?
That cylinder that acts like a bearing between the variat and the crankshaft?

It's a 150cc GY6-B 16 inch ... BMS Kerrigan, aka Phoenix
Parts are slightly more expensive ... not by much, though ...
I did not inspect the Clutch System yet.
I will have the 700ft-lbs impact wrench next time I work on it.
Thanks.

Shredded Belt Aftermath: Scratched Fan Plate, Variator Boss "Bearing" Wobble, Main Variator Dimple in Belt Side I have a Shredded Belt Aftermath condition that I need to troubleshoot, and I need experienced minds' input: 1. Belt got shredded 2. Removed shredded belt and any residue from any spacing visible (used small screwdriver to clear them up) 3. Replaced the belt with old stock, and old stock roller weights for testing. 4. Started motor. There is a vibration on the variator, which is not present if the belt and variator is removed altogether. This vibration happens while the backwheel is stationary, and increases as the clutch starts engaging the rim. Observations 1. I believe the crankshaft is fine. When motor is not running, with variator removed, crankshaft doesn't feel like it wobbles. 2. The Variator Fan blades are not broken, but have deep gouges 2-3mm wide about  degrees to the fins. Will this cause an inbalance while running up to 8000rpm? Do I need to replace the fan plate? 3. Variator Boss "Bearing" seem to have dry lubrication (~2yr old, 4000mi scoot). If I re-lubricate this with hi-temp grease, will it be enough, or am I asking for trouble? Will this need to be replaced, or should I run the relubricated Boss for signs of wobbling? 4. On the main Variator, on the surface that touches the belt (about 2/3 up), there is a dimple roughly 2x3mm oval shaped. My guess is that the shredded belt caused this as well. Is this a reason to replace the main variator as well? Thanks. |

For the A/F adjustment screws, here is the PDI link useful for carb adjustments: x1scooters.com/pdi.htmlTurn this screw in (clockwise) to richen (more gas) the fuel mixture. Turn this screw out (counter clockwise) to lean (less gas) the fuel mixture. |
