High octane is made for high compression. If you don't have a bbk installed, 87 will work fine and anything higher is a waste of money (though not much since it only costs $3 to fill up). I always interpreted hi compression to be anything over 10:1 |

Looks like a nice ride, and a nice scoot
How did your butt hold up, with the stock seat?
What was your avg speed?
I've got a Wildfire Helix 150 that runs great, engine wise, but gf's son keeps wrecking it.
Too bad cause that engine is the only good thing of the whole bike.
Ride safe
Dave

When I worked in the Motor Pool, we thought PM was the afternoon.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke (Gov't motto), when it breaks, replace broken part.
No one ever repaired a broken 'widget'.
Keep monitoring, and see what happens

Welcome and congratulations
Never too old to enjoy the freedom of riding
(You're a month older than me, but , who ways we too old to ride scooters.)
I even got a "You go big guy" from a girl at the auto ports store, as I was unhooking my crutches and putting my helmet in the top box. Had to get some Prestone 50/50 silicate free stuff
Then put 49 more miles on it on the way back home
Meaning, never sent a man/biker/scooterer to go to the store to get bread/milk. It takes 3 hours and lotsa miles.
Anyway, welcome and enjoy

Great info
I'm lucky, I put mine in Neutral and set the 'parking' brake.
But I've got all 3 wheels on the ground all the time (except on some corners going too fast)
But, still good info
Glad you recovered it in time

I feel that if you're riding on the road you should have a MC endorsement, bike be registered and insured, regardless of cc.
For both my and your safety and protection (ref avatar)

Yes take the 2K contra spring out and put in the OEM one that will lower your rpms by allowing the engine to open the clutch pulley much easier with less rpms. Alleyoop I lost my license for a dwi. I am still riding a scooter because I have to have transportation to and from work, and everything else. Is that your question why I'm still riding? Or why I'm riding a 150 with no license? I ride a 150 with no license because I wanted a 150 with power, and would not rather get blowed off the road by cars, and mean people. The Judge was wrong when my Attorney proved that it was an Unvalid License check, I was wrongfully arrested and detained, the Cheif of Police lied under oath, and admitted he was not the supervising officer over the license check. So, The Chief gets away with Lying, Kasey Anthony got out of killing her kid, John Edwards lied got out of his crap, etc. So Im gonna ride whatever I want to stick it back to them! Lol! My town is small, the local cops dont care what you ride, as long as you dont act stupid. The cops are friendly with me, and pretty much know my Scooter isnt a 50. I dont have a tag, insurance, License, etc. Besides, mine looks like a ViP 50 anyways. I guess you could call it a sleeper. It will keep up and pass traffic on my local highway which speed limit is 55. I've been riding this scooter for 2 years now. So, you were driving while drunk, got stopped and arrested and the cops lied. Does that change the fact that you were driving while drunk?? Or that you got caught and the cops lied? Main thing is, if you're driving drunk, and hit me, or my kids, and got no lic,, no ins, I'm fvked. Look at my avatar, and see what happens when a person gets hit by a drunk driver while on a motorcycle. I gotta live the rest of my life with no leg, and the drunk driver has served his 'SUSPENDED' sentence, and got him a new truck, and his life is back to normal, mine will never be. So, no , i feel no sympathy for drunk drivers, who still drive, sometimes drunk. I don't care where you gotta go, find some other way, which is why you don't have a DL. Carry on Dave |

Hello all, I will soon be riding about a 20-30 mile trip to work, at least til I get my license back at end of April. My scooter that I am talking about is in my sig. below also I need to add that it has the NCY 61mm BBK, matching big valve head, and A10 cam. I already have gears installed, but I want to lower my RPMs and it feels like it has too much motor and not enough gearing, I put 14g Hoca rollers in, but I still want to lower it. My speeds are 50-56 cruising at about 6500 RPMs. Should I take out the 2k main spring? would that help? Thanks, Randy I'm not an engine guy, but am curious why you lost your license? And why you're still riding. |
