[replyingto=onewheeldrive]onewheeldrive[/replyingto]Hey onewheeldrive. It sounds like you have the same luck as I do when I do project. I might take a couple of days to do a job that should only take a couple of hours.
I will let you know how this tire removal works out. Wish me luck .

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]Hey millsc. Thanks for your answer .Can you be a little more specific about the crowbar .On this scoot it looks like if the muffler and the muffler bracket are removed ,there is just a axle nut to be removed.The isn't anything else in the way.Does that make sense to you?
It really looks to easy for a Chinese scooter and if i Make a mistake in this town , there isn't any place I can take it to .I just don't want to make any mistakes ! I will replace the valve stem at the same time if I do have to remove the wheel,but before ,I will do as one of the guys suggested and that is to look for a valve stem leak or a rim leak. Thanks

[replyingto=xxwoodmanxx]xxwoodmanxx[/replyingto]Thanks woodman .Two questions however .Which side is swing arm side ? Left or right ?
DO both shocks need to be free?
On this scoot it looks like I will have to remove the muffler and the bracket that holds the muffler . There does not seem to be anything else in the way after I would remove the axle nut .From what I see ,there is the brake drum on the right side of wheel and nothing else that I can see that would be in the way.
As I have never taken one of these wheels off before ,it really looks like a removal of a car wheel. It looks like it can be removed after the muffler is off ,but I am sure it is more complicated then that.
I will follow your instructions ,but if you would answer my two questions it sure would help.

I had a surprise this morning to find mynew rear tire is low, seems it may be a slow leak. It has never been of the drive as yet !Possibly the valve stem ? This is a 50 cc scoot,if that matters .
Any suggestions on removing the tire? I am sure some of you have had this problem !

I have gone through the DMV twice and to ride in OR you have to be registered ,have a title and have a plate . The requirement for a Moped is under 30mph speed on flat ground, and having a clerk that is understanding sure helps ! They also don't seem to have a listing of Scooter in their books !

hi there - I would listen to all these guys ,but first call the DMV and get info on their requirements including a motor cycle attachment to your drivers licience for a scoot bigger then 50cc.
