Documenting recent change to 48 Pilot and kept the 125 main in the OKO 26. Maybe a bit less soft on off-line and midrange power, but still "silent coast-down" and temps didn't change appreciably. Ambient 86 degrees high humidity.

Wheelman are those aftermarket forks or just a modified one? Looks cool!

Thanks, but the forks are stock. I found the eBay shocks from a C-100 Honda fit perfect. A hair longer, quite a bit more stiffly sprung.

Re: Flash 3.26 Turns 50

Last week the Stupid-rich jetting just seemed out of hand. It's been mid-high 90s here every day, and the scooter had a lot of trouble maintaining midrange city speed 35-45 MPH with embarassing flatulent sounds. Midrange temps down around 250 and WOT nudging 350, tops. Time to do something with my needle. I'm using one of the fatter ones in Treat's kit, not sure the number.
Anyway, raising the clip one down from the top made a remarkable improvement. No spikes on full-closed throttle, no change expected or seen on WOT, but now I have decent usable power accelerating from 30 without having to crank the throttle to full. A 1mm clip shift. Who knew?

Re: Flash 3.26 Turns 50
Sure an exceptional scooter there, fast, reliable, kept on to to be tuned to the season and a head turner. I'm still working at getting faded blacks to *look* Wheelman-111 black.

Drippy Tranny
Greetings:
I hadn't ridden in about 10 days.
Good news: Starts in 3 kicks with manual Choke.
Bad news: The transmission has gotten drippy. Only 3rd time re-installing tranny gasket, could that be it? Ya think?!
I think I have another new gasket somewhere, but stingy Wheelman couldn't bring himself to "waste" it when the old one came off like Buttah. And true, it didn't become incontinent until several months later. However paper gaskets pretty much always let go sooner or (sometimes) much later. It might not even be the gasket, as I haven't removed the exhaust/wheel to inspect closely.
Question for the Collective: 7.58:1s with the "late" single-bearing cover. Wheel axle seal, perhaps?

Cold Snap = Hotter Scooter
Greetings:
Low-60s morning Commute Treat! It's good to get to work without having sweated through my Arrow shirt!
Getting to work faster,too. It seems the 16 or so degrees cooler neatly matches my too-rich-for -hot-weather jetting. Hot Dang!!
All the midrange raspy-burblies cured like a Holiday Ham. 63 on an eighth-mile on-ramp, whereupon I had to slow down for traffic.
Life is good in Flash-Land, for now.
I wonder how much cooler it can get before I need to go up a size?
Tranny cured; I may have - Ahem - overfilled a tad.

Re: Flash 3.26
Hey Trafficjamz, is the former PG YOSH pipe that VT sells, and you posted about quiet? I know VT says its the exhaust to have if you're concerned with noise but still want great performance, but i wanted to "hear" from a fellow forum guy before I thought about finding one.Trafficjamz wrote:http://www.vtcycles.com/vtc_plugins/e10 ... =54&cat=11Wheelman-111 wrote:Greetings:
The headpipe on what appears to be your Stroker is HUGE! Are the 72cc pipes also made with 10 segments?
The other pipe looks like an ad pic for U/Cycles.com if I'm reading those annoying artsy graphics. A Yoshimura? Can one purchase those? Does it require an arm, or a leg?
This is from VT Cycles
Description:
** This exhaust formerly know as the PG Yosh muffler no longer comes with the Yoshimura badge shown in this picture, this picture is just a reference of what the exhaust looks like. **
This is a great pipe for a street, daily ridden performance scooter, I wouldn ot hesitate to get this exhaust if you are concerned with noise but still want some great performance.
Recommended Engine Size for Use: 72cc-78cc|82cc-85cc
Exhaust Style: Muffler
Color: Natural
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Items Needed for Proper Installation: Exhaust Gasket
I own a pg long, and never tried it yet, waiting to pick out my BBK, but i'm fearful it's going to be too loud for me. Don't get me wrong i'm going to try it first before I buy another pipe, just wondering what that 2nd pipe should be if I need to switch.

Re: Flash 3.26
Greetings:
BACK!! Get back you Hi-Jacking Dawgs!! Taking back my build chronicle...
Just completing this update with best GPS now 71.2 MPH. I've recently noted a pretty good-size gas leak under the carb with the scooter parked more than an hour or so. Leaning to the left revealed a squirt out the overflow vent. Hmm, could my float valve have lost its good seal. My Oil Tank Fuel plumbing makes it so the petcock only holds the fuel back from the main tank, but the line to the oil tank has only the manual petcock downstream.
I need to pull the carb to check this out, as well as jet down the Pilot to match the 100+ degree afternoon temps lately. Ran great at 70, sorta rich and 4-stroking a lot at part throttle these days. At 78 hours and about 1300(?) miles on the Corsa bore, it's probably a good idea to dismantle and go over some things.
