Happy, I have only changed jets twice. I drilled it with a #60 for a 100 jet as per VT. I then went a bit larger which went too much as I did not have the next size drill bit and was leaving Fl for Oklahoma so I went back to the 100 jet. But I recently purchased a drill bit set consisting of a #65,...

Happy, been away for a bit, now in Oklahoma. My SR50 had been running funny, good when cold, then at WOT it ran great but sometimes slowed down a tad then picked up again and so on. I think it was too much back pressure from the stock muffler. Once hot, the idle seemed rich, when I opened the throt...

im saying you should not drill the baffles, or anything like that. you bet i won't do that.. i can really go a little fatter on the main and that wil help the heat. plus i will just not be able to run it over 35 mph for more than just a bit as it gets real warm then more miles it wil prolly come in...

i think you are correct

Drilling out 2 baffles helps a little, it will also be louder so people can hear ya form long distances and not run you over. is there a method for this drilling or where to locate them for drilling.. i like the idea of people just maybe able to hear. i don't mind some noise.. my Kymco has a RS pip...

pipe would be ok.. cooling comes mostly from the pilot.. thats why its best to run the biggest possible when tuning. thats why if you notice when you ride, it seem to cook when your off the throttle or even at idle. Make sure yo upre mix too, never trust those oil injectors. 40.1 or about 3.5 oz to...

dam 500? im surprised it didnt seize... anything over 400 is not good at all. Thats defiantly time to slack and start playing with the throttle to kool it down. stock carb, thats a big problem, Its not the main jets, its the pilots. Most of your cooling comes from the pilot jets. this is not good n...

Please give more details. Are you sure its oil or is it gas? What is condition of the oil line? Where is the drip forming? Also please post in correct forum. the oil is as i stated, is comming out of the overflow line. the one that comes straight down from the carb. not the one we drain the carb ou...

i have a problem on a 2000 Elite with the oil dripping out of the carb. overflow. any ideas what may be the problem here... hope its not the pump.
Thanks

mave been getting ready for the arival of the cylinder kits and cleaning things up .. did the carb as it was leaking out thje overflow.. fixed that and now i see i haveoil leakinjg out the overflow!! i did drain the oil, and put in what i am going to run. cleaned the screen in the oil line and now i...

Well, I will say this, I got my new (used) tank in. The outside looked ok, my paint was shinier but the inside was mint condition and I got it in two days for $28.49 can't beat that. Also, Permatex tank repair, if done right is some serious stuff, a clean sanded area and that stuff stick great and ...

There is no way that bowl is running dry, that means my scooter would run 30 minutes before the tank went dry! Same goes with the fuel line, if you remove it from the carb, the tank would run dry in 15 minutes, apply vauum to the valve to keep it open of course. I KNOW its a combination of the jet ...
