That's good to hear! I ordered mine on the 8th, but it still hasn't been shipped.
How does the steel feel? Cheap or good?

It's an easy process. Watch a few videos and go slowly the first time. Everyone afterwards it will be much easier.

Have you adjusted the valves?

As far as the flywheel, I have only seen them removed with a flywheel puller.

Well... My exhaust has started to rattle the mounting bolts loose to the point of making a squeaking noise that pisses me off. So I took the chance and ordered one also. I will report back with a review once it arrives and is installed. I'll post it here and also on dmartin95 new scooter forum. www.dansgaragetalk.com |

As Alleyoop would say. "There's no replacement for increased displacement."
The BBK will help. Tuning your carb then CVT would be next.

Looks like you have bad piston rings. You could just replace the rings, but then you would have to hone the cylinder.
With how cheap parts for GY6 motor are, you could fairly cheaply replace both with new parts. Or as I suggested earlier, spring a little extra for a BBK.

My caliper is not like most people I can't fit more then a few mm of the clamp inside and I threw my old pads away You need to be more specific. Was the bike's brakes not working or missing parts? When communicating on the Internet, words and specifics are very important. Now it sounds like you need a new caliper to replace a broken on. That would explain why the pistons are not moving. But it's hard to say when you keep shifting the problem. |

So put a little bit of lube around the piston? I was scared to do this in case I contaminated something Yes, I was thinking of WD40 or PB Blaster. Since both are liquid and penetrate better. Before you finish the job a light coat of brake lube will help avoid this problem next time. |

I just read the thread more carefully and notice you have already tried both methods.
The caliber does look pretty dirty and junky. Maybe the cleaning will help.

Have you tried spraying them with a little brake cleaner then PB blaster or WD40. That way they would be cleaned and lubed.
Then attached a small hose to the bleeder valve and open the bleeder. The hose will help prevent a mess, and opening the valve will relief the fluid's pressure.
Now the Pistons should move with either the clamp method. Or using the old pad to push/pull the piston open.

I've got a Powermax 150 too, love that thing. What'd you plug the line from your CVT into? I just put a uni filter on mine and wasn't sure what to do with that hose. The CVT vent hose has a fuel filter attached just above the body panel. Then it is attached to the frame. I don't like the way it looks, but if I shorten the length of hose it can not be undone. I think it looks "messy". |

I was hesitant at first to remove my airbox. But I'm very happy now that I did it. My scoot looks so much better with a unifilter.  taotao powermax? How long have you had it? The little metal decoration with the holes in it that u can see in that pic rusted on mine pretty quick Yeah, TaoTao Powermax 150. I've had it for about a year now. It gets parked in the garage, and I drive my truck on rainy days so it doesn't get wet very often. |
