 Rotella 15w40. Its got a good name and its not too expensive. Royal Purple is nothing great. They just charge you more for purple dye and since oil turns brownish black after a while then you just totally wasted that extra money.

So out of all the CDI's out there which have you used and what where your results? There's the standard cheapo Blue one that says NEW Racing CDI on it The "standard" orange performance CDI Casoli Moto (They have a blue red and an amber colored one) Power Rev (Purple) Progress Racing (Blue) Posh Racing (Light Blue) So if you have an aftermarket CDI let us know which one it is and what your results where. Weather it improved performance a lot, a little, not noticeable, or even if it made it worse. Attachments:

I bet the quality control is great on those BBK's LOL but for 35 bucks you can buy extra.

Added an aftermarket exhaust to it. It is an FMF Power Core 2 muffler from a Honda CR250. This video was just a sound test before I welded it up and built a bracket. I am not going to just ride it with the exhaust just hanging off of the exhaust studs.
I have to say I think it sounds pretty damn good. It has more of a deep rumble to it in person but my phone's mic didn't pick up on that very well apparently. But from what you can hear let me know what you think.

indymoped I like it. It sounds great But you really need to hang or support it's weigh. So you don't snap the stud's off. Just my 2cents. Dave From my original post "I need to make a bracket to hold the muffler before I actually go and ride it tho." |

Here is a video of my new FMF Powercore 2 Exhaust. Its off of honda CR250. I apologize for the sound and video quality as i took it with my phone. It fits great and sounds great IMO I need to make a bracket to hold the muffler before I actually go and ride it tho.

Thanks (Oldchopperguy and copper deer) It was a really fun project. Sometimes it got to be a pain in the as I did the whole thing myself. It's definitely not easy getting the alignment right between the front and back half and trying to tack weld the mount on at the same time. But in the end it turned out better than I thought it would.
The bottle is for my catch can. Since I just have a motorcross air filter mounted straight to the carb the valve cover breather hose cant run back into the intake so I just had it hanging there but it was spitting oil onto my CVT cover so I made myself a catch can.
Sorry for moving the thread (Hank) I just felt this was a more appropriate section for it. To answer your question I do have a motorcycle endorsement and ride it as a licensed 150cc. I am in the process of getting a title for a custom made scooter tho so I don't run into any problems as the scoot has 2 vin tags on it right now.

The baffles come loose inside of them so even if the muffler is secure it can still rattle. The other thing with this specific muffler is that it is actually a steel muffler with an aluminum case on the outside and if the case comes loose it starts to rattle too. If its brand new it should be good for quite a while tho.

This is my custom built 150cc scooter. It is a 50cc Peace Motorsports Frame with a 150cc Longbo motor from an Alien Moped. I made the motor mount to attach the engine to the frame myself as 150cc's are top mount and 50cc's are bottom mounted. I built it for about 226 dollars. 100.00- 50cc Scooter 100.00- 150cc Scooter 18.00- Stator (to get 150cc engine running) 2.00-JB Weld 4.00-Welding Wire 2.00-Grinding Wheels The 150cc motor is completley stock. It does 57-58 mph (GPS and follow by car Verified) I plan on doing a few modifications to it. I already put a free flowing air filter on it right before taking these pics and I ordered and FMF Powercore exhaust for it. (FMF is a dirtbike/atv exhaust company for those of you who aren't familiar with it)     |

That is true also..I doubt there is enough pump pressure What about auxiliary oil cooler kits with oil filters then? They have enough pressure to work on those? |

You need to just replace it. They don't cost very much and is your life really worth not spending a few dollars on? If it breaks while your riding it could send you into oncoming traffic and get real ugly.
Also wd-40 is not the best lubricant to use on anything except squeaky doors hinges. It is a lubricant but it also is a solvent and a DE-greaser. It will strip away and break down any grease that is in the bearing and it has a short life as a lubricant especially at high temperatures and speeds.
