Be sure the car is not running. Some vehicles have too much alternator output for a scoot to handle and you will fry the scooter...not fun for anyone, let alone a noob, to deal with

this is tech help not general discussion but it is .02/.03inches

I've known several powersports/small engine mechanics and not one that wasn't paid hourly (or by the books hours).

CaptDan- great explanation of the cvt.
but if it is coasting (speed drops) and then roaring...sound more like it is hitting a limiter rather than the gradual change (assuming constant throttle position, not an operator snapping the throttle) experienced in the cvt

That is an amazing find. are you planning on restoration?
those kz1000's are a * a runner, I can only imagine the interceptor package

My garage is full and I ride a lot so I need to rering a lot. Plus, most of the scooters around here are only sold under $700 because there are problems and I rarely spend over $500 on buying something

no, I found a cheaper way, have a pro do it for free. but my friend wont tell me what it would cost otherwise (he has done four cylinders for me). the service guys just say there is no work ticket so take it up with him (my friend is the owner of the dealership and he just has a service guy hone it ...

How much should a typical light cylinder hone job cost? (done by dealer service center)

Thanks

Ahh I've ridden my friend's crf450, d*** that newfangled auto-decomp. Ya, anything under 200 rpm on the unicam and that auto decompression is on, I love it. oH man you need to upgrade your shock. put a heavy duty one on there The Aero 80 was a friends and he is too cheap for that. But I did put a h...

crf450 kicks easier than the old 426(friend has one). used to run kx250 for mx & sx, but a tree stump in the grass on a xc run (fun with friends, not a race) made sure my hip will never handle landing a jump again. The tw200 and BW350 are like the 'moped' of the off road world and the Honda fat ...

the curved (so they conform to the face) ten dollar Pugs sunglasses from my local BP station work for me during the day and I bought a bunch of curved safety glasses from Northern tool that work great for night rides and they were only a couple bucks each. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stor...

I prefer to premix in my gas can, and use an accurate measuring device. Who knows how much a bottle cap is? true about the bottle cap but that is the importance of under a bottle cap . I do not recommend using seafoam in the gas tank and premix at the same time unless you run through that gas quick...

Thanks all, I think I will get it. Turned out to be an '86. I love the Aero 50! Such sick scoots....the Aero 80's rock (unreal acceleration) but the extra insurance makes them tough to justify. I looked at an 80 but in Iowa we can park 'mopeds' in the bike racks and motorcycles have to plug the park...

Back to scoot101 for me, Seafoam? a cleaner chemical, not just scooter but any motor, it can be used several ways: gas tank, intake manifold and crank case (four stroke)... "Sea Foam Motor Treatment has been around since 1942, and was originally developed to remove varnish in carburetors in ou...
