It is true , they all do this . however the stiffer the clutch springs the sooner the clutch will release. The clutch cannot release any sooner then about 4000 rpms. That's about when the clutch engages with 2000 rpms springs. Also a stiffer main spring will slow you down quicker. What main spring are you running ? Try the stock main spring and see what happens.

That exhaust is super cheap !! It actually looks pretty good from the pics. I imagine it comes from overseas and from a wholesale dealer.

I think rcq made all those number up !! He is always trying to make me look dumb . anyway I looked up his numbers and he must have infiltrated the web, because that's pretty much what every other site is saying also.
Lol, I'm sure your right rcq . Id still like to see an actual test. Somehow my scoot was idling almost right at 1000 rpms yesterday !! I'll have to take a video. And my darn speedo cable broke again!! I ordered the wrong one and had it rigged up . so I guess I need the right one .

Dude , what happened to your cat ! That's not a cat, it's gandolf's beard, he's probably using strands of it to enchant his scoot with lotr magics. I bet his scooter will get him all the way to mordor now. I luv LOTR !!! |

The L rating is perfect!! Many are rated to only 62mph , but the 75mph rating will be great. My 13 inch shinkosnare rated up to 94 mph if I remember correctly.

Remember, that Shinko you picked out is going to wear out pretty quickly again. That one has a really busy tread pattern, so it's going to wear faster. It is nice looking, though. To be honest , the tread pattern should have little impact on the tread wear. Its the treadwear rating that really matters. |

I'd like everyone to read this . this is true , but yet it is also false. Because there are two different types of ignition systems used by four stroke engines. www.mobiusinstitute.com/site2/item.asp?LinkID=10013&iVibe=1&sTitle=Analysis%20Definitions. Now let's say when installing these TACHS , the Chinese and others are going by this method. This means the TACHS installed will read twice the true rpms. I still find it very hard to believe that when these engines are near stall , they are still idling at 1200-1400 or more rpms! You can actually hear each exhaust stroke clearly during this time and it doesn't seem even close to those rpms. George - are you thinking when yuo are running WOT, and your tach is showing 7,500 ... the engine is really spinning at 15,000? Actually the opposite , when the tachnis showing 7000 rpms the engine is really at 3500 rpms. This would be closer to a cars rpms . I'll be satisfied if someone does a test with their digital speedo according to the directions. |

Yeah its probably due for a change. When I got it, it had 600km on the clock. I think it was around the 1000km (620miles) mark when I did the oil change and it has around 2200km (1365miles) on it now. It was easy enough to do so I might as well change it while I've got my hands dirty ☺ Thanks for the help guys Wow , I put around 6,000 miles on my scoot every season. Last year I rode in the winter so I probably put close to 8,000 miles on her. |

Alright got my package from ups today in a poor makeshift sized box. I was already expecting the worst but as i unpackaged it i found the part was an exact match. All i had to do was remove the old bearing race from the old forks. Reinstalling was fairly easy by using the old forks as a driver as the race is pressed in.   I have it fitted on the forks and it looks reasonably straight now. I just need to re-weld in the little ear that broke off on the right side that limits how much the wheel can turn. Good to know !! Thank god it was right, lol |

What I'd like someone to do is use their digital tach , and read the instructions to find out what setting is for what . the .5 setting would read half of the true idle. The 1 setting would read a straight forward accurate rpm. And the 2 setting would double the rpms. Find out for sure what the setting s do and test on each setting. I'm sire most install the digital tach and match it to the specified idle. Which I'm indicating may be wrong. Please remember I'm not at all certain or saying what I am suggesting is a fact . I'm just in a spot where I need to know for sure. Also we need to know for sure if the TACHS being used for the tests are for these types of 4 strokes that fire every rotation.

For instance let's say these TACHS are reading every spark as if the engine was only firing on the compression stroke. The tach would have to be set to read that and double it , in order to give off the right reading. Now let's say the TACHS are set up that way . now these engines are actually sparking every rotation , so the tach would be doubling both sparks and giving off a double reading. If I'm feeling and hearing the exhaust right , then these engines are idling between 600 - 900 rpms when the tach is saying 13-1800 rpms. I know I could be wrong , but from what I've seen , I need to find out for sure.

Here is another major issue. A 2 stroke tach is set for an every rotation fire. Many think these 4 strokes only fire every other revolution , however this is false. These 4 strokes fire every revolution just like a 2 stroke. So if our gauges are set to read every ignition fire instead of every true fire , then they are doubling the rpms to get the correct rpm. However by doing this they are doubling the true rpm. Not possible the tachs are doubling the actual engine speed .... otherwise they would be showing 15K or 16K at WOT. Unless the actually rpms are 1/2 what they are reading. I mean if the engine is actually idling at 700- 850 rpms . then the stock TACHS double that. I know its a long shot but if I'm reading the exhaust right , hats what's happening. |
