Hey Crawford, my mom's family is from "Lester," haha! It always bothered me that the spelling and pronunciation didn't match up. I'm currently in Weaverville. Also thanks Justin!! I'm really happy with my Bintelli. |

Ooooooohhhh!!!! I was thinking about getting one relatively soon. Thanks for the heads up about cyber-Monday! Now I know to wait a couple days. I also weighed my variator weights a couple hours ago. It looks like they're somewhere between 13-14 grams. I only have a cooking scale, so it's not super accurate. I was planning on picking up some 12s, but now I think it may be better to go with 11s and mix the stock weights with the new ones if 11 ends up being too light. Would mixing rollers and sliders be a no-no? |

Thanks! I think my stock weights and contra spring were paired correctly, I don't notice much trouble accelerating after reaching the top of a hill or otherwise slowing down. What I really want to do is stay in lower gear a little bit longer. There's two hills around here in particular where I have to come to a complete stop right at the bottom due to a light, and then kinda slowly inch up just because i don't have the momentum. This doesn't happen as bad if I can catch the light when it's green! I was only planning on decreasing my roller weights about 10%-20%. But I know it's something I'll have to play with, like you mentioned.

Thanks Cyborg! I'm working on getting it broken in, but I need to pick up some better clothes. It's starting to get cold, and I lack the proper attire to ride in sub-50° weather. I didn't think that one through, haha!!

Yep! I'm happy with it. It was good enough that I could've just left it alone and only do the regular maintenance on it. But I always have to mess with stuff, haha. It's probably safer that I tinker around on a scooter than it would be if I got under the hood of my car.

Thanks for the tips. I plan on making this thing last a while for fair-weather commuting. I already replaced the fuel line and simplified the vacuum lines. I took out the petcock and put in a manual fuel cut-off valve, took out the bogus emmission system, and tuned the carb. The only vacuum line that remains is the one that goes to the carb. It works and sounds somewhat better than it did right off the lot, not to say it sounded bad when I got it.
I'm a little weary to do too many changes before it's properly broken in, though. I'm not sure if that matters.
Next I plan to get lighter variator weights to help with the lower end on all these hills, but I need to weigh the ones I have first

Haha, we call those liquor-cycles around here. It's funny you brought it up. Not me though, clean driving record!
Not really interested in a Kymco or anything like that at the moment. I actually wanted a cheaper 150 scooter to work on as more of a hobby project. It's only back country roads around where I'm at, and there's not much opportunity to go much faster than 45.

Hi!
My name's Cameron, a mid-twenties cook with a wife and newborn daughter. I'm located just outside of Asheville, NC; sorrounded by tons and tons of hills and trees. It's beautiful 😍. Anyway, I just got a hold of a new 2016 Bintelli Fury 150, loving it so far, but I'm looking forward to cracking it open and seeing how much power I can pull out of it. I'm sure this place will help me in deciding how I should proceed with my new hobby.
