Trying to locate these WF150-T Mirror Set for the Wildfire. It's ONE of the last items I need to replace since laying her down... I did find them for the set at absolutelyscooterparts.net/catalog/touring-exec-wf150-mirror-p-757.htmlBut was wondering if anybody may have come across em elsewhere...Imma bargain shopper so I'm constantly comparing price, turn around and customer service... |

Without an exact make and model I can only find "generic" torque. If read right the steering locknut should be between 60-80nm

So I've been to every bike shop, automotive and hardware store in town and yet not one person has the bulb or even seen this damn thing before. Can someone help a brother out and point me in the right direction? I know we have a bunch of dealers here so even if you can get it let me know and I'm on it. Btw it is a headlight bulb thank you in advance  |

yeah I agree it should be a normal reaction. but for a first time scooter owner all I thought about were the kids around me. I am definitely going to get into a msf class. in order to take one of their courses do you need your permit first?

So yesterday I do a complete tune up on my scooter. After I clean up my mess and give it a wash and wax I pull around front and cruise the parking lot just to make sure she's still good. After stopping and talking with my neighbor who happens to be my cousin I fire it back up and get ready to park back in the backyard like always. Just as I pull off and give it a little gas I proceed to take my hand off the throttle and it happens. Instead of winding down it idles high and takes off. Instead of dumping the scooter I stay on cause there are kids outside. I try using my brakes FAIL! After clearing the kids and other people I yank the bike to the ground like wrestling a bull down by the horns. After several xrays and ct scans and a fractured knee I'm home. First thjng I do is fire it bacc up. Turned over with no problems. Now the wife wants to dismantle and get rid of it...YA RIGHT!!! Time to figure out what went wrong and rebuild.
Need new plastics for the right side mirror and all. Wanna do all new wiring, brakes, carb and engine as well as throttle. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't wanna do any bbk wanna keep it as stock as possible.

Just plannin for the winter...I know with me cleaning her up and figured since the plastic will be off why not paint it. I've got a few uv and heat lights and stands to bake it once done so we'll see.

What are some of the things that you do when it comes time to paint your plastics? Be it due to cracks, rock chips or whatever it is that has you painting?
Rough up the plastic before prime and paint?
Rattle cans or air?
If rattle can who's the preferred manufacturers?

HAHAHA, well just make sure everything works. OH another thought maybe it's for the ENRICHER, Maybe that is why it is not idleing to smooth to much gas even after it has warmed up and the enricher is not getting juice to EXTEND and cut off the EXTRA fuel. Check if the ENRICHER gets warm or hot after the motor starts. Alleyoop So I fired her back up and let her run for roughly 5 minutes...the enricher was warm to the touch...not satisfied it pulled the enricher out and laid it on its side like one of your videos and it did start to extend while my finger was over the hole |
