At least you didn't get into heroin--- Although it's basicly the same thing. Fentanyl and Methadone can become a lifetime of hassle. They say your supposed to use them to detox- Unfortunatly it becomes a baily beast just to feel "normal" replacing one drug with another without the High....... ANYWAY, I got a refund on my credit card---- Seems the Male strippers were turned away...... Good girl Kat Feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to get some " special made " shoes? I don't mean a new pair of Nike's but, are you going to need custom fitting shoes at some point? Or, Are you able to use normal store bought shoes from now on? Just curious, I know pressure point relief is VERY importaint. Anyways, The Strippers should be there around 5 AM... They were instructed to help you shower..... Make sure you have some shampoo and conditioner ready, Bodywash is optional Keep your chin and toes Up !!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I'll buy them off you-- At a used price of course.... it would seem a new header pipe could solve your issue, either a "Slip on" or "two piece" header connection...... could solve the problem with a bit of creativity. I do hope you get this scooter back to the way you want it !!!!!!!!!!! I just don't understand how the Stock setup is now FUBAR as well..... I do agree though, With what you paid and on Looks alone, Don't give up yet!!!! It's just a real bummer the exhaust only lasted a short while. Good Luck brother, No doubt you'll get er done.

See, now things become really interesting....... You have a 50cc-- mod it to go over 35 MPH. You did learn a bit doing that.... But it's illegal if caught. Let's say instead of a 50 this person bought a Liter Bike 1,000cc perfectly legal... Walks out of the dealership Then kills a mini van full of nuns doing 150 in a school zone...... Seems like the issue is really about riding to your skill level IMO. Start slow and move up..... Don't buy big and curve your activities..... The Liquor Cycle is a different discussion altogether, Most states require a license in the first place. Some folks don't deserve to drive for a reason!!!!...... Being young and dumb is not a reason---- Knowledge comes with experience, Experience is gained by practice and modification..... Kind of a "we have come full circle" discussion.... Round and round we go

Deer and drunk drivers, The most likely way to die/crash on the road in America... If you ever come across a drunk deer, Game over. Sadly my state is only #4 in pedestrian/traffic fatalities.... Red light and Stop sign runners need to step up their game to be #1...... I joke around but, last month at least 12 folks were killed on the road for walking or riding a non motor vehicle--- just because someone was in a hurry...... Unless an injury is involved, most drivers will blame the "other" guy....... Sorry for the rant but, at least a deer doesn't know better most of the time, Humans are taught to look both ways......... so why don't we? Calm down folks, Take time to be carefull...... Walking, Riding or Driving..... You may live longer or let someone else live..... JMHO

It maybe just a mater of tightening the Handelbar bolt----
Do the handle bars move Up and Down? -- I don't mean by simply turning left/right---
When sitting on the scoot, Is there any wiggle if you lift Up/Down on the bars?--- Only ONE nut and screw holds down the front end into the "tree"....
I was given the same advice about the "tree" being bent when I had a front end collission.
Does the front end seem squirelly ( for lack of a better term ) Non responsive?
This may help finding the screw to tighten.....
If you tighten this 1 bolt, It may save you some time and money.
Give it a try and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

I would disagree, It's not done until we see video of the first ride I hope all goes well, The riding season is ending for a lot of folks but, Until that engine is mounted, Broke in and, running smooth with the transmission.... you're far from done IMO Simply showing videos of how to replace Brake pads/ Tensioner/ Gears, Etc.... Does NOT make a running scooter IMO. All the parts need to work together and provide reliable/ predictable situations......... Until YOU are riding the scooter, Reliably, without any issues, It's not finished. JMHO but, sometimes a project is never really done---- Something else can always be improved... I wish you Well and, Good Luck on all your future rides........

No need for an apology, No worries about the delay in posting, People are busy and even posting pics can be an issue at times... I assume this is sort of a weekend project anyway.... Not your daily driver. Just to review, This sexy scooty indeed runs but, only able to kick start.... First question, Just to get it out of the way---- The kill switch is in the On position and you have the keys, You pull the brake lever and hit the start button, It sounds like it wants to turn over but wont...... Correct? Now then, My next educated guestimate would be to check the battery as the pics provided show no issues with the plug and wires..... A dead cell may easily cause this issue even if a charger shows full. Does this scoot have an alarm or remote start? If so, Remove that stuff for diagnoses.

Interesting topic....... First off, many folks buy a 50cc scooter because of the law involved... Getting a "bigger bike" negates the purpose of buying cheap transportation without hassle........ No extra license or rules to follow, Then again, maybe a beginner should start at a low displacement and learn how things work. That way, an educated purchase can be made on what suites personal needs. Then theirs the separate issue of modification itself.... How many folks buy the most expensive car available, then dump another few hundred thousand to make it unique.... People mod for different reasons, Telling someone with a Tomos Streetmate, or China 150 " You should have bought a real bike" Is not for anyone to judge. As long as you're having fun and learning, Who cares..... It Is all about the Ride
