Hi Natetheokay,
I would check the airbox, and the rubber tube leading to the carb sometimes these come loose or completely off allowing too much air, this is a classic symptom of getting too much air,, It also could be a vacuum leak on your intake.. I would follow what Alleyoop says, but if that don't solve the problem then look where I suggested..

Well, the potential exists for pedestrians to also get into an accident. Crossing the street, while a truck passes by. Will we also equip them with helmets and armor, for the 1/1.000.000 chance that they get ran over? @silvrekat, the hospital thing was not aimed at you, but someone who wrote before you. ok Prodigit here are the statics by the cdc on the subject and the links where i got them.. Maybe pedestrians should consider safety gear, but it's no where as high as motorcycle and scooters.. www.cdc.gov/Motorvehiclesafety/Pedestrian_Safety/factsheet.html. In 2010, 4,280 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States, and another 70,000 pedestrians were injured. This averages to one crash-related pedestrian death every 2 hours, and a pedestrian injury every 8 minutes.1 Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash on each trip.2 Now motorcycle www.cdc.gov/features/dsmotorcyclesafety/index.htmlA recent CDC study found that: Between 2001 and 2008, more than 34,000 motorcyclists were killed and an estimated 1,222,000 persons were treated in a U.S. emergency department (ED) for a non-fatal motorcycle-related injury. The highest death and injury rates were among 20-24 year-olds, followed by 25-29 year-olds. More than half of all nonfatal injuries treated in EDs were to the leg/foot (30%) or head/neck (22%). Motorcyclist death rates increased 55% from 2001 to 2008 (1.12 per 100,000 persons in 2001 to 1.74 per 100,000 persons in 2008). The number of nonfatal motorcyclist injuries that were treated in EDs also increased, from nearly 120,000 injuries in 2001 to about 175,000 in 2008. How Helmets and Helmet Laws Can Help Helmets save motorcycle riders' lives. The most effective way to get people to wear helmets is by passing and enforcing a universal helmet law. This type of law requires all motorcycle riders and passengers of all ages to wear helmets whenever they ride. Each state decides its respective helmet law. As of May 2012, 19 states and the District of Columbia had universal helmet laws, 28 states had a partial helmet law, and 3 states had no helmet law. Safety Tips for Riders When you ride your motorcycle, follow these tips to stay safe: Always wear a DOT-approved helmet. Never ride your motorcycle after drinking. Alcohol greatly impairs your ability to safely operate a motorcycle. If you have been drinking, get a ride home or call a taxi. Don't let friends ride impaired. Take their keys away. Wear protective clothing that provides some level of injury protection. Upper body clothing should also include bright colors or reflective materials, so that other motorists can more easily see you Avoid tailgating. Maintain a safe speed and exercise caution when traveling over slippery surfaces or gravel. There's a lot more on this at the cdc, but the bottom line is wear your safety gear... Here's a even more info on helmet use from the cdc.. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6123a1.htm?s_cid=mm6123a1_w |

I think helmets are one of the single best things one can wear... I wear one every time I ride, yes they can be hot and uncomfortable, but better safe than sorry.
My advice is to buy a good one, I had one that was cheaper, and when i got about 25 mph or so it whistled in my ears, preventing me from hearing what was happening around me. I'm the kind of guy that does not wear Ipods, or anything that would impead my senses. When your driving with vehicles that are 2000 pound or more it's us that are at the disadvantage, I strongly recommend a helmet and an MSF.

Superior Co.
I was 18, and my father helped me get the job there, It was a metal recycling plant crushing cars and sending the metal to GM, and my job was in Maintenance.
Before that I was building houses with my father ( he was a general contractor ), cutting lawns, pretty much what other teenagers were doing to earn some spending money..

I agree with both dragonsparks and spandi. My only point is one should take a little time and do some research as to whats best for them... Name brand or Chinese. True. But with all you have done, your bike has been virtually "Japanized" Well Taiwaneseized LOL. ;D All my friends especially those that have known me for many years will tell you I'm not an off the shelf kinda guy, virtually everything I own started off as something cheap, and has been improved on for my own purposes, benefits of being an Industrial mechanic by trade... You should see my home entertainment center LOL  |

[replyingto=biguns420]biguns420[/replyingto]Actually now day's more than ever, It's buyer beware..
It is the buyers responsibility to research anything they are considering purchasing... Just watch the commercials on tv, how many use terms like "May" or "Could Have", I'm referring to the life lock commercial.. They don't say "Would Have", they leave themselves a way out..
I'm reminded of an insurance commercial where they were talking about a water heater's safety valve failing and it blows a hole thru the roof. Now look up the statistics on how often that has happened.. You have a better chance of being struck by lighting twice in the same spot, and the cases it did happen, either the safety was left out, or was improperly installed, It's just someone using a scare tactic to get you to buy their service..
Yes Chinese scoots may have some problems with quality control, but a simple Google will reveal this.. And anybody taking a salesman's word at compete face value is just asking to be taken.. There is no truth in advertizing anymore it's up to the buyer to protect them selves.. It's like my old flight instructor said to me, I never forgot her words.. "It's your butt in the seat". Meaning I'm the one who is responsible.
Ohhh Kat I'm out of pizza I'm going to bring Chinese food this time to the corner LOL

Hi Kat ;D
Ill try to answer your questions as best i can, while gobbleing pizza and coke ( the real thing ).
Q. So really, how many of our nation's leaders (at ANY level) drive scooters, rather than ride around in a chauffeured car of some type?
A. I know it's a secret, but most... They use them to get from one end of their mansions to the other, looking for their marbles, but since that's indoors nobody sees them, and it's really questionable as to if any of them had any marbles to begin with..
Q. What does China hope to learn from us with their spyware?
A. They want the formula to the ever popular gobstopper... They are also wanting to know why Peanut Butter is sticky ? And how many jellybeans one can get in a grand piano.
ok ok Back to the Naughty Corner... I need more pizza and coke ;D
