this is a pretty weird problem, let us know how it turns out after u soak it.

and it'll leak bad i imagine. my gasket spewed when the head wasnt on tight enough, so with now gasket it will probably spew a whole lot more.

my vento or my friends xtreme? both of use top out at ~50mph. i just get there quicker b/c im 2-stroke.

hey there! didnt talk to u much, but made some shirts using your logo
since no one bought any, im going to lower the price and get some more made if theres interest.

o and nice bike

I got mine for $25, but had to put in about $250 to restore it when i did the 1st rebuild.

vette76 wrote:way too much for a spree.

definately, for that price you can go find a nice zuma or maybe a vento.

Has anyone every drilled their muffler? Its suppose to give you a nice top end increase. I was just thinking about doing this, since my spree is not street legal.

also, be very careful when puting the cylinder back on! i had a broken set of rings one time when i tried it too forcefuly. you need to make sure to use a lot of oil to lube the cylinder and piston, and make sure the rings are pressed in correctly when u slide the cylinder on. all just precautions, ...

if it chocked before it died, could be the air filter, make sure its in there. can also be the fuel/air ratio, which is most likely the problem. Some details that can help diagnose the problem, would be had it been acting up before it died? did it just die once, and isnt working now? the more detail...

yeh me too.

Haha, yeah... I may post some pictures of my Aprilia later if i remember. I would love to race you some day on your vento, toast. I think it would be a Very close race by the way you talk. yeh thatd be pretty cool. too bad u live in kentucky, too far away for me (SA, Texas). on another note, i took...

I finally got a helmet (full face motorcycle type), so I got a chance to ride my vento on some long streets. All I can say is, this a 50cc monster! :twisted: I raced my friend's 125cc daytona extreme, 3 times, and won all three. Me and him just rode through different neighborhoods, and then tried to...

i remember i did this a while back with my street tires. However, I couldnt get past like 15mph w/out almost losing control, lol.

vette76 wrote:thats the point. its like if you are driving a manual trans. its like revving the car higher before letting out the clutch.the good thing about this is it doesnt effect top end speed.

well mine kinda does this already, since my clutch is pretty worn.

looks like some nice upgrades. I don't think the clutch springs will help all that much though, w/ the no low-end torque and all. other stuff looks pretty sweet.
