I was lucky to stay away from the heroin , many of my friends were not able to do the same. Im also glad I never used any needles . I was always Leary of needles so that kept them at bay. I'm sure all it would have taken was that first time .

At least you didn't get into heroin--- Although it's basicly the same thing. Fentanyl and Methadone can become a lifetime of hassle. They say your supposed to use them to detox- Unfortunatly it becomes a baily beast just to feel "normal" replacing one drug with another without the High....... ANYWAY, I got a refund on my credit card---- Seems the Male strippers were turned away...... Good girl Kat  Feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like to tell many people, but methadone is what I used to get off of the other pain meds. The reason they use methadone is because you don't build a tolerance to the dose. Yes you can get high from it and you do build a tolerance to the high. But unlike the oxy and the fentanyl you need more and more or else withdraw will eventually set in. For instance If you have two people and you have one take 40 mg of oxy , and the other takes 40 mg of methadone " once daily " . both will feel a high from the drugs , but after a week or so that will begin to wear off. After so long the person taking the oxy will begin to need a higher dose " to either kill the pain or hold the withdraw back " , but the one taking the methadone not only does not need a higher dose but can come off the drug slowly with little symptoms. The methadone is also much easier on the your organs , like your liver and kidneys then other opiates. Methadone is widely look down upon for a few reasons , mostly because it is still abused even in recovery. The way I look at it is that it at least gets many of the addicts who rob , steal and sometimes kill for their drugs off the street and keeps them from committing many of those crimes. In the end , an addict must want to get help to.actually become free of the addiction. |

Just thought I'd post that obviously I survived the double-foot surgery. I am currently confined to bed-bathroom-bed only 'til my followup Tues. Got a surgery bootie on each foot. Ditched the pain meds 'cause they made me sick to throwing up all Sat. Pain is preferable to that! I now have a boring six weeks of homeboundness to anticipate. Whee. And no scooting 'til next spring. See? This is why my poor Peej has so few miles on him. >'Kat Glad to hear your doing well !! I hope you get up and about soon . a little off the subject , but since you mentioned the pain meds I figure I'll post that I was addicted to oxycontin and fentanyl. For those who don't know , fentanyl is 100× stronger than morphine. I was prescribed percecet for an infected arm about 17 years ago when I was 19 years old. My mother told me to be careful and only take them " as needed " for the pain because they are very addictive. This was the first time I ever took a narcotic pain med and of course I didn't listen to my mother , went through 30 of them in about 4 days. That same week I ended up getting a script of vicodine for my wisdom teeth and I did the same with that script. I was quickly addicted to the high from the pain meds and began buying them on the street. Not long after I started buying them , Oxycontin began making its way into the neighborhood, and wow what a high . not long after " maybe a few months " I began to experience the physical withdraw symptoms, and started buying the pain meds , not only to get high , but to hold the withdraw back. After about three years of burning my money on not only the oxy , but the fentanyl patches I got help. I went with an outpatient program that not many would agree with , but in the end it worked out. I use to think that being as addicted to opiated was just being addicted to the high and I didn't see how people could loose everything because of it. I mean " JUST STOP !!" right ? Wrong!!!! he physical withdraws are hel ! , and lasts weeks. I like the whole " just go three days without and you'll be fine " . its not like quitting smoking , which is a piece of cake compared to the opiate withdraw. I've quit smoking and twice with no issues whatsoever. I know its not hat easy for some , but once u go through a severe tydpe of withdraw , the next nicotine withdraws are a joke. But anyway glad to see your doing good and tossing the pain meds ! |

I do not trust these scoots in the rain. Many have had issues with water getting into places it should not be. I never ride or let the scoot set out in the rain. If it is your only transportation , you need to go through the entire scoot and waterproof everything from wireing to the air filter.

The heads are different between 157 qmj 150cc to a 1p57qmj 150cc. The cam seats have a different heights. Also the 4 valve heads require cam chain be replaces which means splitting the case. You don't have to split the case to swap chains. Just link them together, mark the link, then pull through. Or just unlink and tie them together. |

I have a great way to change tires, I just did it on my buell.
First you need to use a grinder to cut the tire . make a a slit in the center of the tire from front to back , about 9 inches. Next make another cut from side to side, as far down as possible without hitting the rim " make this cut at the center of the first cut so it makes a + pattern " this will weaken this area of the tire and will have the tire just about ready to fall off ". Next use your tools and pry out so the sharp part of the tool is pushing against the tire to pop the bead. Next prying the same way at the center of the side cut , pull the tire over the rim so u can then use the grinder to cut through the metal bead as u hold the tire out past the rim . do this to both sides and the tire falls off.
Now this is the easy part " installing the new ones " . put the rim in the freezer for at least 30mins and either let the tire set out in the hot sun or if its not that hot out , put the tire in the shower with the water on full heat for about 10 mins or so. When u remove the rim from the freezer you will want the tire to be free of water " inside " . now quickly put some soap around the tire where it will contact the rim and quickly push the tire over the rim while it is still slightly shrunk from the cold freezer. My 13 inch scoot tires went on with almost no prying , so did my 16 inch buell tires. The first side always goes on with no prying but the second may need a little . also make sure the contact area does not dry and stays wet and soapy. Each tire should go on in under a min.

When it comes down to it, its all about HP . Does rcq have a setup that can turn the 17:36 gears ? Like I said before I've seen other much smaller builds on here that can turn 16:37-16:38 gears just fine , and reach atleaste 65mph with decent takeoff. Now with the 190cc's , this has the ability to really up the HP and therefore why go with a gearing which works well on a much lesser setup. You want to be able to get full climb out of the variator but still be able to reach near 7000 + rpms if you want to. From what I understand this was happening with other members with much less and the 16:37 gears , so why run the same gears in a much more powerful setup ?
We really need to remember , most on here do a 60 or 61mm build and many have used the 16:37 gearing . also many have 13" wheels which would make it even harder for these setups to turn . our buddy here has 10" wheels which need more rotations to be able to get the scoot moving. In my opinion a 10" wheel with 17:36 gears will spin close to to the same as 13 with 16:37 gears. And now add in the extra HP the 190cc can put out. I may be wrong but if someone can figure out the math we can then know for sure.

rcq92130, the smaller the first number the better the take off should be, or you need less torque to spin the wheels. I would recommend for sure not to go anything higher then 16 and I would personally stay on 15 max from what I know now. To be honest I would have been perfectly happy with my 16\38 gears, but the fact that my buddy on stock gears with all other mods being the same is faster all around is making me recommend to you to stay on a ration close to 2.5 max for you. You will probably hit about 70\75MPH with that OK, someone help me out here. An expert of another message board said about the same thing --- that a smaller countershaft (small gear) gear will give better off-the-line acceleration. My mind can't get there, so please tell me where I'm going wrong. Two setups, identical except for gears. One has a small gear of 14/37, the other a larger 16/42. Both those give a ratio of 2.65 to 1 ..... but one has a smaller first gear. Lain and another said this will give better low end acceleration. but that doesn't make sense to me. neither the engine nor the wheel knows how we got to a ratio of 2.65 to 1. All it knows is that for every 2,65 turns of the countershaft the wheel will turn once. I do not see any reason the smaller gear - matched to give the same overall ratio - will be any different .... unless you are talking about rotational inertia, and that just can't be a meaningful difference between the 2 gear sets. Help me understand where I've gone wrong. Please. I'm with u on this , unless I'm also missing something. |

I hear ya ital, but I think the extra 20cc's will surpass the power needed to turn 16:38-16:37 gears and still may be plenty for the 17:36 gears. I know of a few 161cc setups that are running 16:38 gears and with 13" wheels . its all a matter of trial and error at this point. I don't know many if any with a 190cc scoot to even turn too in this matter .

Can't wait for the test results . Dmartin over at www.dansgaragetalk.com def knows his stuff . What gears does everyone think rcq should go with. I'm leaning towards 17:36 gears due to his 10" wheels and the 190cc's . I'd like to know how much HP this engine is going to put out! |

It seems PA is ranked #2 in states most likely to hit a deer , and WV which is about 20 miles south of me is ranked #1 , lucky me !! Pa 1 in 71 will hit a deer and 1 in 39 in WV.

I wish they chambered tha 1911 in colt 45 instead of 45 acp . yes the bullet itself is the same size , but the extra powder would be nice. The colt 45 casing is close to a 1/4 inch longer.
If im not mistaken , there is a law in NY that makes it illegal to shoot bigfoot . no joke , they actually have a this law.
