they sold zx's in the 80's, d***!

^^^ ^^^ they did sold ZX's 300 ZX by Nissan that is, I have one.

Make the best out of both worlds, Put an SA50 engine in that 89 E frame, it's lighter than the Elite SR. Trust me you'll like it. If you need the mount to for it, Go to the Hawaii Forums, there's a lot of guys there that modified mounts specifically for that application.

^^^ Define "running worse" (sputtering, unstable idle, bogging ...)? Be more specific on the running condition so Fellow Members could help troubleshoot the problem?

Thank you, you are giving me HOPE. More to come as soon as I go by the mechanic today.

If the seizure ain't that bad, can just replace piston rings and rehone bore, shouldn't cost that much. GL!

Make your own. I have seen alot of sa50 builds with the rear clutch cover missing. I am not sure it is for heat issuses, or just to show off the cool clutch bell housings. Whatever the reason is, I like the way it looks, but do not like the fact that it looks like somthing is missing. So I took my ...

Dayum Girl, No worries just BORE UP and JET UP and that 35Mph will be history. GL

There is NO INDUSTRY STANDARD COLOR CODE for clutch springs and center springs. Colors and designation varies by mabnufacturer, makes it hella more FUN!

Your muffler aint all plugged up is it? How did you check for spark? with a screw driver inserted into plug wire? (crude method, but does work) or did you pull plug and check it that way? Check your plug gap..could be wrong.. ya gotta think, if that plug aint exactly gapped right, or even has crack...

Ok, so here is my update... I started wondering what else could be holding it back. So, I bought a ruima Variator from Limp and a brand new belt from Honda.. I immediately went for a ride... Its windy today, so there was a nice tail wind.. Anyway, the difference was immediate! It pulled good all th...

I think you would get there with longer gears that 8.44's. Get some of Daywot's 6.9 primaries and try them out. They install without having to press a gear on or off the main shaft. I think the 6.9s would get you to the top speed you want but you are going to lose some torque. Agreed, you need at l...

Numerous guys from hawaii hits that with a fully ported corsa kits, ask tru72?

I like the guys who say I can rather than those who want me to quit. OK, after the other restrictor this weekend. If you insist ... Try not to overlook the basic stuffs, air and fuel filter (make sure not clogged or restricted), spark plug (worn, burnt, fouled?), vacuum and fuel lines (cracks / lea...

Maybe a good time to bring it to a qualified repair shop. Have them do the initial derestriction / repair and in the mean time educate yourself by asking what they're doing and the operation of your scooter. You need to at least know a little how your scooter operates /functions before you can start...

Greetings: It's a huge warehouse. I'll bet a few dealers on the Forum get their stuff there. Some items have a minimum order of 100 units. :shock: He probably started marketing online to the small shoppers and dings them on shipping. Yup you're right, there are some units where you could just order...
