One thing I see is that your ridin without a air filter and causing a extreme lean condition. You will never get the carb tuned right. It will also cause your engine to run hot and that explains why you needed a new piston and why you'll need another one soon.

Rentals either have you cover damages with your automobile policy, with a credit card or an extra cost rental insurance they sell you. If you did not make other provisions for coverage they will many times just add it to your credit card. If you put down a debit card instead then they may already have collected on the damages and the bill is just and invoice or statement indicating the cash they already drafted from your account. That is why i tell friends to do everything in cash when they come to the beach. We have a few places here that will take everything in cash. Iwould never use a scooter rental place that requires a credit/debit card. |

anytime you add more lights you are increasing safety both for yourself and others.

Hm. I'm thinking I've changed my mind about renting a scooter if I ever travel somewhere.... >'Kat If you do rent take your time and do a video walk around with the employee there. this keeps them from trying to accuse you of doing something that was already damaged. |

Wilds, nice for with the led lights. You have to modify them to fit so tight against your panel?

Do all the big vavle heads from scrappy get the Buford treatment that you have spoken so highly of? I'm needing that extra boost of power before I move up to a taller gear. I'm running the 16/50 scrappy gears now but I've had a set of hoca 18/46 gears just sitting there. I'm affraid I'll loose all of my torque or won't be able to hold speeds since I haven't maxed out the motor.

Timing was pretty good considering you were fixing to drop in another crank anyway.

I would contest the charges. The rental place is just trying to take advantage of your friend. Bondo and paint doesn't cost that much (like they even fixxed it all). They will try to get what they can out if him because they know he will not come back just to dispute the charges. Tell him to fight the charges anyway he can.
The local scooter shops try that crap here but not to that exstint. Put a tiny scratch on it that keep the $100 deposit and never fix anything. The next day they will have it rented to someone else and blame them for the scratch if they can. I was told by a guy that use to work for one of the big rental places here that that's how they make most of their money. Employees would get bonuses off the deposit money that was kept.

Melted a gasket? Wow. First I've heard if that happening to anyone. I've already got the airsal 50mm piston which I like. I'm mostly just interested in the head and would use the piston on someone else's scooter.
