Major bummer. Be sure to clean out the clutch and variator. The little pieces of the belt get everywhere.

80cc bbk preformance variator upjet carb That's all you need to do. CDI Coil not needed. Air flow increase, remove tube inside stock air cleaner. Leave Muffler alone. She will run strong and fast and won't blow up right away. I have to agree with this. My trike came with a 80cc (actual 72cc) engine, a 19mm carb with a 28 idle jet and a 80 main jet. Every thing else was stock and it ran good and strong. I did open up the air filter and put larger jets in the carb though. I ended up with a 32 idle jet and a 82 main jet. Roy |

Did ya rinse it off? Gas can do some damage to paint and plastic.

I don't have that problem.  It probably justs leaking out of the carb over flow. Roy |

I used to own a 2010 renegade 50. It was red. They are not bad little scooters for the cheap.
The cheapest performance upgrade you can do is to change roller weights in the variator. Lighter rollers will help on the hills, heavier rollers will give a little more top speed. A cheap tachometer will be a good investment and will help diagnose engine performance.

Hello and welcome.  Can you post a photo of the scoot? we like pictures.  Roy |

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]on my fiddy the eye bolt is to close to the bracket. I already tried, and it would take a little modification.

My magnum has a different rear end as it has independent suspension. and has a nut on either side of the bracket.

Oh ya, the larger trikes have four brackets. But I only saw two in his photo.

They should have nuts on both sides of the eye bolt bracket, to make adjusting easier. Did you get it adjusted?

You have to loosen all four 17mm bolts. The two on the bottom hold the eye bolts and are is a slot. To loosen the chain back the nuts out. You will have to push the axle tube forward, the use of a pry bar will help. Or try to rock the trike back wile holding the rear brake.  Roy |

These trikes have a weight disadvantage. They weigh in at almost 300 pounds. Even with a 72cc it will top out at about 38-42mph on level road but will loses about 10-15mph up hill. Do you know what size engine is in it now?(Mine came with a 72cc engine.) Does it drop down to say 5-6k rpm up hill?
Lighter rollers, (I have 6 gram sliders in mine, it came with 8 gram rollers) and a stronger spring will help on the hills. You can gear it lower, ( don't know what gears are in mine) but will lose top speed. A free flow air filter and exhaust will help, but you will need a bigger main jet in the carburetor. But ultimately the only way to get more uphill speed out of one of these fiddy trikes is a bigger engine.

I used to be Military Police. My cert just ran out for radar, but I spent a few days in class to learn how to use it correctly. When used, it sends out a sonar wave in a huge "triangle" shape in front of you. True, it will pick up the largest object moving towards you or away (depending on what mode your using). On your radar when you clock someone speeding, your supposed to lock it in. When you do that it freezes the speed they clocked you at. Your supposed to do that so you can show the person before writing them a ticket. If you don't do that, they always told us it's your word VS there's. So, he might not have locked your speed in. Also, if you do get a ticket and think your getting a BS ticket, take it to court. Sometime the cops are so busy with other things they can't show up. Did they also teach you about the audio verification? This is a tone that changes with the speed reading, and used to be required so that you can verify you are targeting the correct object. It is a high pitched whine and most police turn it off or don't use the ear piece, because it is annoying. A lot of radar guns have an auto lock feature that will automatically lock a reading over a preset number. Roy |

Radar guns are prone to false readings. For instance, if you approach a speed radar posted on the right lane shoulder, from the left lane, and do a lane change to the right lane close to the radar, it will record less speed. I was going ~35 when I did a lane change at the radar point, and it showed I was going 26. I presume the reverse is true too, changing lanes from a right lane to a left lane, when the radar is set up on the right shoulder, shows an increase in speed reading. There are a lot of false readings on these things. Sometimes radars don't even see a scoot. You are correct about the false reading of radar. Many things can cause this, large signs blowing in the wind, other larger vehicles,ect. I have even heard of some police will aim the gun at the heater/air conditioner blower. Speed radar is used in two ways. It can be set to read the speed of an object that is moving away from, or approaching the signal. If the radar gun is on the right side and you are in the left lane and change lanes to the right as you approach the radar signal it will read a faster speed than you are actually traveling, because you are moving toward the radar gun at a faster speed (forward + sideways) when you change lanes. The opposite is also true, if you are in the right lane and change to the left. This sideways movement can be as much as a 10mph difference. The way radar works, is it sends out a radio signal of a known frequency. If an object is moving towards the signal the signal is compressed, the faster the object the more the frequency is compressed,when it bounces off the object this compression changes the frequency of the signal causing the return frequency of the signal to be higher. The radar gun then reads this returned signal and determines the difference of the original frequency and the returning frequency, then the speed of the object is calculated and displayed. When a radio signal bounces off an object moving away from the signal the signal is elongated, causing the return signal to have a lower frequency than the original frequency. Roy |
