Taking the next step with my SA50.

Hi guys. Apologies up front if my questions have been asked before, but there's a lot of info here to try and sort through in a timely manner. I currently ride a nice little SA50 Elite S back and forth to work that I picked up last year. I performed the exhaust and clutch limiter mods a couple weeks...

Re: No Acceleration/Smoke/Hard start - 01 Elite S

So, a quick recap on this. Happened to fill the bike up with pre-mix the other day on accident. Made the symptoms of this issue a hundred times worse.

New guy, some lighting/electrical questions.

Hey everyone, new guy here. Just picked up a super nice 01 Elite S on Friday. Very excited! Already punched the exhaust and removed the clutch limiter thanks to the advice on the page, and now I have a question on something else. I've noticed that the headlight on this thing is, well, substandard at...
