ha YES! SCOOTERS! Since none of my friends have money or the interest of buying a real moto, about 8 of them have bought a 50. On saturday we had a group of 7 scooters raging all around town, first to the breweries and then up to the reservoir to get safe. Arguably more fun riding a scooter...

Yup, you've tightened the worm gear adjuster too much. The kicker doesn't engage when the clutch is pulled.. Back it out some and try again.

Just broke my (what I presume to be stock) clutch cable. Ordered a motion pro replacement and couldn't be happier. Its like buttahhhhhhhhh

I had one installed for about a week before the internals on the slave gave up the ghost. I would bleed and bleed but it kept sucking in air around the pull cable that connected to the worm gear. Hugh sent another one no questions asked (thanks!) but it too ended up losing the battle to...

Love me some dynabeads. I have them in all of of my moto tires. I will say that low speed (<5mph) from a stop feels different, but not bad, than traditional wheel weights, but once rolling they are smooth as ever.

I ride it cause my buddies are on huge, underpowered harley wannabe's and 50cc scooters. That and you can't buy the bike that I have. Its mine and I built it. OP, like everyone else said, be careful buying batteries online. You have no idea how long they've been on their distributors shelf...

happy bday! be safe (-ish)

I had one for almost a year with no issues, then one day the bike was breaking up in mid RPMs and wouldn't rev past it. I built my own 'super capacitor' to replace the battery and have been trouble free since. PamcoPete suggested that the max charging current of the .8Ah battery is much less...

I had the same issue. Mine was due to the tubing that connected my carbs to my billet carb holders. The vibrations from the motor were making the carb shake up and down just enough to make the tube move and chirp. I greased the inside of the tube and stuck her back on and the chirp went...

I capped the tach drive off when I removed the speedo :laugh:

Sorry for the delay. Here is a pretty useless photo, but you can kinda see the filed part in the middle of the adapter plate.

jd750ace, That plastic bag trick sounds pretty cool. I've always used the short paint rollers, like 2.5 inches wide maybe, to spread resin into the glass. Has an added benefit of pressing the air bubbles out. To the OP: Take some tape and 'form' a seat pan to the size of your liking over...

I'll snap some pics later today of the adapter plate and get them posted here. The plate that pandemonium makes is a nice, solid piece of metal. Don't know if I have an opinion about it one way or another though as it is just a piece of metal. If I had the correct tools, I would've just cut...

MtnBoy, the Pandemonium install instructions for their adapter plate suggests that you shave or clip the corner of the brake pad in order to allow the pad to clearance the adapter plate. This means that every time you replace the brake pad you will need to re-do this process. I ended up taking...

Oh crap. sorry MtnBoy, I had a finger flub. I meant to say mine measure at ~33.9. Updated in the original post. Hope this didn't cause any problems on your end
