hey man, try saferwholesale.com they got great scoots. it's where I bought mine. china scoots but they're almost unbeatable on prices. styles, maui dreamer's, classic vespa or metro's/itiliano's, bahama's, stand-ups, maxi scoots, trikes, side-cars, trailers (for cars and scoots), and much more.
I'm not a sales rep. just a costumer.
I've also bought a tank-less water heater from them, it works great as well.
motofino's seen them before, but don't know the quality.

If i twist the a/f screw maybe a 16th of a turn either way it's too much gas and pe-uks or too much air and have to let off the throttle to let it catch up.
right now I got it to a happy medium but still sputters wot at take-off when warm. it doesn't do none of this when simi-warm. if I let up to about 3/4 throttle it catches up. giv it a little gas (just about to engage the clutch) at a light and it goes wot but not as it should.
I'm thinking that springs are getting too hot and getting mushy, spongy, whatever on that part.
any thoughts about my choking bike. lol??

ok, just did the valves and the intake was too tight couldn't get the .002 feeler in. And the exaust was too far, (from what I adjusted to the first time @ .003) .004 is where it was. re-adjusted in. and ex. back to what the manual says @ .002in. and .003ex. what I didn't get was how do I have a louder knock @ these settings. soo.......... I re-adjusted the ex. to .002 almost no knock but present 30-35 and then again at 44-46mph (bike speed). Also, I lost a little bit of my top power though. Any ideas on how to make her run better?  ? |

I check them when they sound different then normal, or if it has hard starts or runs different. If your in tune with your scoot you'll know when its time. Exactly. I checked the vvs on my pdi and then again when I had starting issuse at 1500mi. I'm at 4600mi without a vv check and starting to get more of a tap. It's time. Ride safe all! |

what are ya, deep sea diving, joke joke. lol. the only thing I can think of is routing a flex tube from you're air box to the uder seat storage. cut a hole in the storage and adapt it in. then, like  tuning the carb just right for that setup. probably you'll be running it leaner. someone else might have a diff opinion on your situation, but this should sufice. don't know if it will work or not, it's just a guess. I know with my 94' t-bird I had home made ram-air, but evertime it rained I had to disconect from the bumper so it wouldn't suck in water. tell us what works when you figure out how to keep the water out. I'm sure that someone eles could use the info. |

I don't care about the seat height, I've road a yamy 426cc dirt bike with compession release, it was about 40" high. I have 30" inseam. I just need the bike higher.
I love this 50, and I wouldn't want to trade it for a 150 just for more groud clearance.

don't cut the springs you'll will make them stiffer. do the lower kit DX
I did that with an 86' toy MR2 and that was a hard ride. 11/2 coil's off it droped 2" but the ride was harder than asphalt, like the ferrari on a 4x4 trail. do what you want. food for thought.

I run castrol gtx 5/30w for break in. on my new scoot changed oil as soon as I got it then changed again at 50mi., again at 150mi. then 250. Every 750mi. after that. After the 250mi full synthetic oil.
Castrol Edge Titanium oil, I'm a castrol guy, U can use whatever you want. I found that castrol works very well in every vehicle.
Winter I run with 5/30w
Summer 10/30w

If your doing the work of ART I would RAISE the Sidestand where it bolts up to the Frame so when making low left turns the side stand does not scrap the ground  Alleyoop that's not my prob. My prob is scrapping the exaust pipe on spdbumps, 5-6" hellations. I'm only 4.5" from ground to exaust pipe. |

Hi dawgs, I need a lift kit for a Renegade 50.
I found longer shocks that will fit my short case and tree for lifting the scoot. But, can't seem to find a longer side kickstand to support the lift diff. I'm thinking of changing to 12's to simi-fix the speedo.
Is the 150's side-kick longer than the 50's??
Or, how do I go about this?
oh sorry about the poll guys just wanted post
