Mill, do you have a link to the site you bought your hoca 18/46 gears. I'm doing everything from my phone because my hard drive crashed and when I google (hoca 18/46) I get a add from eBay and your thread you did on the gears.
Thanks.

Yea I'm kicking myself for not getting this impact sooner. This should be one of the first things someone buys for themselves after purchasing a scooter.

Jerry. Get a marine grade outlet that has a cap on it. I'm going to put one in the button of the pocket by my Knees so I can also charge my cell phone. It dies fast when I have it hooked up the the stero that I had on the scooter and that I'm reinstalling this winter.

I couldn't wait until morning. The correct count on the oem gears are 51/15. Maybe that will clear it up some. With the 50/16 gears I didn't really lose any take off speed. I'm guessing I should have done a tooth count so I could have ordered two up and two down to get the max out the gearing without bogging it down to much.

I handed them to a friend to count the teeth on the gears. I will dig them out in the morning and count them myself.
The ones I out in were the 50/16 gears I bought from scrappy and I counted the tether in them myself. Just by looking the small gear they sent was bigger the the oem. The lager gear with 50 tether was smaller. Again ill recount myself in the morning and post the tooth count.

Oh and I opted for the $9.99 24 month warranty. That starts after the in store warranty if  days. So that gives the impact 27 months of warranty. That covers everyhing but theft. |

Bought this impact wrench from harbor freight www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-1-2-half-inch-emergency-impact-wrench-92349.htmlI'm not sure how well it works on lug nuts on a car yet but it worked like magic removing the nut on my rear tire and clutch bell. At the price they are seeking it for its a steal!!! No more trying to figure out how to break loose those tight nuts and bolts. I'll update again tomorrow and let y'all know how it works on the car.

Taking it out tomorrow to a road that has a 45 mph speed limit and seeing what I can get out of it. Like I was saying before, I had to keep letting off the throttle because of slower traffic in the 35 mph zone.
I have a a9 cam sitting here on the table that I'm going to toss in tomorrow and see how that goes also. I was surprised that I really didn't lose any of my take of speed from what I could tell. I'm going to order the scrappy big valve head and a exhaust this week. I may not get much more out of the engine but I'm going to squeeze everything I can out if it. After that I'm going to focus on the variator and clutch. Then if I still have really good take off I may try a tad taller gear. I know it's going to be tough but I have a goal of 50 mph gps.

Ok I have the 50/16 scrappy gears in. So far I can tell that I have gained 5 mph gps and I had I let off because the slow car in front if me. I had 49/15 gears stock. I'm not sure how much of a difference that is but I like so far. I'm still running a stock cam and head so I'm hoping to get a few more mph out of her once I install new ones. Oh, I went from 37 to 42 mph and I weigh 250. Maybe some of you advanced gear heads can tell me if that is about right so far. So far I have. 50mm bbk Orange Cdi and coil 50/16 gears  main jet Stock air box Stock cam and head |

Wish I had a local dealer that was like you described Moxie. When I bought my scooter new a year ago all they did was have me sign the papers and hand me the keys. Good things I have a little common sense or i would have been I trouble. Back over the summer when I had 5 scooters and company would want to ride one if them they had deal with me going over everyhing and about a hour of riding around the neighborhood with me before I would cut them loose. Some never made it past the hour and gave up. It's amazing to me how any pretty have trouble learning to ride a scooter. Back to the topic.... Again i wished the scooter sales and rental place spent that much time educating people before preying them leave the lots. Here it's a turn and burn mentality.

You can find grips cheat in eBay and amazon. I use amazon when I can so I don't have to deal with paypal.

I was looking at videos and some have the plate behind the bell like Alley was saying ( you can leave the wheel and muffler in for that) then some you have to pull the whole rear chuck off off like the gy6 most of us have. I wasn't sure before this this thread and researching more which one i had. Now that I have it the cvt cover, stock air box, wheel and muffler off i have a better understanding.
