Re: soft seize?

are you using just the stock oil pump to lube the motor?

Re: Crank seal depth

Service manual says to set the depth of the seal at 5mm on right (flywheel) crankcase half, 1mm on left crankcase half on the '94-'01 SA50's. Why the different depth settings? Might have to do with the tapered end of the crankshaft? Maybe some others will give better info on this subject being yours...

Welcome to the forum. I've got a stock elite sr50 w/new stock exhaust, air box is opened up and jet is #78 w/ after market variator. Runs very well, good compression, so I installed 9.8 to 1 secondary gears and added 1.5k grabbers/1.5k torque spring which really helped the take off. This scooter hit...

Re: Aero 125 specs....Help Bear

Mike, like the project you're working on. I used this rig for the choke on an sa50 motor because I couldn't access the top of the carb. and it worked flawlessly. Good luck with it.

With a helicopter, you can get down really close for a good look and hover a little if you want. :smile:

Whats your guys thoughts on the two bores ups and downs? Hey 94, that would mean that one would have actually owned and used each of these at one time or another and then would have an opinion to give. I'm also anxious to hear from such a source.
