OK I hit a wall ... sort of. I have done a few runs and she has maxed the torque and speed at 50-53 mph (GPS) up hill around 7000-7200 rpm. Do I need more air / fuel / or both? Lets say stock is 24mm and I am looking into the polished intake with a 26mm-28mm (not to large) carb to get more air and both carbs can be had with jets to richen or learn her out (I prefer rich to save motor). Also what is up with the cam ratios?!?! I know small block Chevy cams- heads-intake performances but I am new to the scooters lol. I know the gear ratio will be best for the BBK in the future but right now I am looking at carb / intake / air filter to change that will work with the 150cc and be adjustable with the BBK in the future.
I have been down and out for over a week now (R.A. has kick my butt big time) from my left knee and leg being swollen the size of a volley ball. The motor is sill not broke in yet , still under 500 miles, and I want to ride ... so bad. The weather also has been picking at me but hey that happens living in the south east.

Just went back out running 62.8 mph GPS in the head wind tucked and grinning lol yes things work out when you plan around a setup that you want. She is not as snappy out of the hole anymore, just smooth, and lowered the rpm down so now I can calculate the rollers/sliders - tires- and cold air adjustment I want. I may put the baffle back in the exhaust to see if there is any difference with vrs without it.

Gears are in and much better. 60 mph (GPS) in a head wind. They had 12/40 gears in it; stock setup. Lower rpms for the runs so far all under 8000 rpm and just riding. No more 8000-9000 rpm runs lol. I knew the gear change would do the trick. Now to finish breaking here in to see if I need to tweak the motor or if she can handle the runs and load. 3.33 final gear ratio stock to 2.31 ratio performance gears. She is not as buzzy sounding or feeling running 55 mph up hill and smooth as can get. i hope to get a camera set up to record some of the runs showing the GPS and Chinese speedometer with the tachometer in one shot. I have a cheap NABI camera but no mount yet. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on.....  |

I went on an 18 mile run today and she ran perfect. New Gates belt-NGK plug-oil/gear oil change-exhaust-GPS speedometer and a tank of gas. I held my own running 50-57 mph (GPS). On a flat stretch I held 50 mph at 8000 rpm so the gear change will put me to my sweet spot and may stay with factory style tire but Michelin brand. I noticed the clutch bell had a little wobble (Bad machine work) and may replace it with a better brand. Still only have 300 kl on the Chinese odometer.
Each time I go out I travel a little farther just to test myself and the scooter. My R.A. (Rheumatoid Arthritis) gets the best of me at times.

OK changing belt and counted clutch 8.3 turns to 1 on tire. Any guess as to what gears my be behind the cover? . i'm not sure what you are asking here, but there are 3 shafts of gears in my ride. 1. the clutch shaft with 1 gear milled on the end. 2. the rear wheel shaft with 1 gear milled on the end. 3. a counter shaft with 2 gears, one engaging the clutch shaft, and a larger gear engaging the wheel shaft. there may also be shims on the countershaft gear, and these must go back where they came from. the countershaft gear can be separated into 2 gears, and i would imagine that either the large gear and the wheel shaft needs to be changed or the small gear and the clutch shaft needs changed. i've never altered the gear ratio of my ride, so i wouldn't really know what would be involved, but i have replaced final drive components so i DO know what's inside the final drive. my best guess would be the large countershaft gear and the wheel axle will need to be replaced to alter the gear ratio. if the tolerances aren't too close then this isn't going to be hard, but if they are, you might have some problems separating the 2 countershaft gears. The 2 gears are replaceable and that is what I am trying to figure out with out pulling the gear box cover off. The chart for gears stock I think for mine is 13/40 (3.06) right now. She tops out at 53-60 mph GPS around 8500-9000 rpm. I want to lower the rpm down with the gear change then play with variator weight rollers / sliders to put the power at the sweet spot. I think the 15/38 (2.53) set will do me. After this if she holds the speed good I will let her be..If not then cold air intake CDI coil iridium plug may pep the power with out going BBK just yet.

New Gates belt on and nut on exhaust. She is smooth as can be. New exhaust will be here Tuesday as well as GPS speedometer and mounting pod for it. Best loose change I have spent so far. 15/38 gears are next and let her ride. Tires will go from 120/70-12 to 110/  -12 to also give me the top speed needed. The power should fall in the range I need. If not variator weights rollers/ sliders can do the rest. Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

Found 1 exhaust nut fell off driving home in the rain the other day smh. I will put the gates belt on and find a new exhaust nut to put on (Call my scooter repair cousin) so I can burn up the road.

I am legit now and rolling legal. Tags registration 1yr permit and insurance. Now I have to get a belt. Chinese belt could not hang with my heavy fist lol Muffler on the way also. That crack has me changing it before anything breaks. Even in the rain today she ran like a VIP Champ lol Not a Future Champ. I am so enjoying this. I was still at the DMV when the drizzle started and told myself to ride it like you stole it.

Latest update. She is running fine. Found the tires needed to help the top speed 110/ /12 Michelin City Grips. Front tire but will use front and rear. The gears i have yet to decide on but getting to the selection will be fun. I want to have the gears/tires set up to get the motor in the sweet spot power range. then adjust variator weight rollers/sliders so i can ride around 6500-7500 rpm 55-60 mph (GPS). Currently she runs: 2500-3000 rpm for take off 4000-5000 rpm for 25-35 mph (GPS) 8000-9000 rpm for 50-60 mph (GPS) My 60 mph run was done tucked and grinning lol. Chinese speedo showed 65-70 mph and i know that was not right. lol Wife followed me and she said she was running 56 mph and my gps showed 53 mph. (2013 Dodge Dart and it just could keep up with me lol j/k) Chime in and have fun... Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... |

Changed the plug to the NGK and she runs a little stronger. Rode her Weds. on a 19 mile round trip and she made me sore a little for a day or two. But that is me not the bike. So my plans now are to get her broke in and find the gear ratio i want 15-16-17/36 to get the top speed needed. I want to keep the motor stock until time for a rebuild but will do the variator/belt/plug(Iridium)/exhaust/gear and cold air intake. Just get those gears first the tweak the variator to that sweet spot I need.
My old butt needs to get out and ride to get her broke in good.
