i got a  and  , started with the and it ran great so i didnt bother switching. it bogs slightly when i first take off at wot and figured it was getting too much fuel so i didnt wanna up it. it does fine as long as i take off and wait till about 5-10 mph before i hammer it. i would like bigger tires if i buy new ones but not sure what size to get and where to get them? what else should i replace besides oils and fuel lines? the stock tires are 3.50-10in |

Iv got my vip 50cc with quite a bit done to it so far, and I'm thinking about upgrading my stock tires to bigger ones, I need to know the benefits and if it's even worth it. If so what will I gain from it and what size and where should I get the tires for the best deal? I don't have a whole lot of money. My scooter only has alot 500 miles on it and I need to do some maintenance on it, besides switching out the fuel lines and filter, oils and spark plug, is there anything else I should change? I bought the blue racing cdi before winter and it already went bad when I got my scooter out last week and rode it once and it was done, is that normal or did I just get a bunk part? Thank you for the help guys.

I purchased an airsal 50mm kit last year for my vip 50cc scoot and it was around fifty bucks, best purchase I ever made btw...anyway when I was looking for my initial bbk I asked what to get on here and someone recommended the airsal kit and where to get it. Now I wanted to buy an extra to put in my garage for my next install but can't remember where the site was I bought it from. Iv looked and the only ones iv found are like 70-100 bucks and I kno I didn't pay that much.please help

Well my dealer said the manufacturer would not pay 160 for the taida bbk I wanted, he said they'd either refund me 80 dollars or send me another engine...well duh, of course I'm gonna take a new engine instead of 80 Freakin dollars, the labor it's gonna take me is worth more than that! So I guess I'm gonna have a brand spanking new 150 engine for sale if anyone is interested!! And I'll buy the kit with the money I get from the engine. Hopefully there is no damage done to my bottom end from the engine failure! Anyone interested txt me 7654997516

Yea that's my thought! I called him yesterday and he said it sounds like a manufacturer problem and he was going to make some calls and get back to me by the end of today

I can't, ordered it online...my guess is the engine is trashed and they're going to have to send me a new one, I'm not gonna mention the name of the place but they are pretty reputable and I'v heard good things about people not having any issues with them when it comes to parts replacements and warranty stuff, so worse case scenario I hope it's just the top end that is bad and nothing else, and maybe I can talk then into just reimbursing me for a rebuild kid because I have been wanting to get a taida 61mm bbk for it anyway from scooter elements. But I have a backup engine from my old 150 scoot that I can always use if nothing else.

Well it's not good, just turning the kickstand by hand feels like there's some drag to it, valves were good both around.004, but compression test results were 80psi  ...oil also looked kinda dirty brown instead of the nice pretty golden color it should be..also there was some oil splatter on my rear fender beneath my valve cover vacuum line! Doesn't look good my friends...so far all I have done is remove valve cover to check valves so hopefully that won't void my warranty, they shouldn't even be able to tell that I opened it. What to do now... |

So I got a brand new 150 last week and I'v been riding it pretty hard and didn't officially "break it in"...dumb, I know..but whatever it's under warranty I figured. So I was coming home from a 30 mile trip today and it has totally lost about 50 percent of its power and dies when u come to a complete stop if not holding the throttle open some...also it has a knocking/tapping sound when you are driving and get up to 3/4 or more throttle. Any ideas?? I'm going to go out tomorrow and check valve gap and compression, and hope it's something simple instead of a broken piston or ring..and go from there. Any help would be appreciated! Btw it only has skit 250 miles on it

Spark isn't the problem, if you have low compression you will have difficulty starting because your engine is worn out, or if your valves are out of adjustment they won't be opening and closing correctly, therefore your engine cannot breathe correctly, so both of them are a MUST! I would first check compression and look for atleast 120psi, and then adjust both valves to .003-.004 and try it again and see how it goes

Adjust valves and check your compression
