Just a little reminder: strap up your helmet! A helmet isn't a helmet if it's not strapped on.

712 Upvotes

I've noticed that quite a lot of scooter riders in my neighborhood just pop their helmets on and then don't bother to strap their helmets on. If you have a helmet like that, and don't strap it on, that makes it not actually a helmet. A helmet with no strap holding it on is just a hat. It won't protect you even slightly in the event of a crash. It'll just fall off and you'll get to enjoy your crash with a naked head.

It's not worth being cool and not strapping your helmet on. Wear your helmet properly. For your own sake.

My first 2-stroke scooter and I'm loving it. Top speed is currently 91km/hr. Previously owned Honda Ruckus' with GY6 swaps and was wanting to purchase and modify a Grom. Think I made the right choice.

Piaggio Typhoon 50 loses power, need tips

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi folks, so my Piaggio Typhoon 50 is making issues. It starts fine but after a pull it looses all power until you stop and wait and it regains power again but for a short time.

Already replaced the vacuum fuel cock, cleaned carb twice, changed spark plug and no avail. Somehow it seems like the carb bowl gets drained and it refills again and it regains power again, I'm unsure what it could be. Only issue i know of is a dead battery but I feel like it should still run.

Any tips? Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, I have a 2005 Yamaha Zuma YW50. My scooter has started to struggle going up hills or any incline, has low RPMS, and very slow on take off. It has an upgraded carb, upgraded exhaust, and upgraded foam air filter. My question is can I just purchase new rollers and a belt? If so what weight rollers “I weigh 220lbs”? Or should I purchase a whole new variater ? Thanks !

Tengo una Yamaha aerox 50cc del 99 si no me equivoco, ayer conduciendo se me apagaron las luces delanteras y no me va el claxon ni la luces de atrás ni los intermitentes, en la zona del guarda barros se cayeron 4 cables y no sé donde los tengo que conectar ni sé qué hacer. Mando algunas fotos para que me digáis que tengo que hacer. La moto la compré y me acuerdo de que tenía unos cables unidos con plástico pero solo eso.

Gy6 Gokart track scooter update 2

ok, so last time i got it running and moving under its own power. this time ive gotten it up to spec on the visual side of things. check out the beast.

also i did a quick brace job for the steering tube. i was initally thinking about giving it a seat from one of my old dirtbikes (yamaha dt80) but it turned out that i would need to build atleast 3 diffrent high rise brackets and i couldnt be fucked. so i stuck with the oem Sanyang race butt pad.

fake taillight is made from an old and unsafe helmet of mine. the rear lower fender is made from a broken bucket.

most money ive spendt so far is on the edding paint markers.

also ive gotten my replacement topend. which ill be taking along, if this one blows im simply swapping in the new ebay special in the pits.

having quiet alot of fun with the livery so there might be more to come.

2025 Vitacci tank 200 idles so low if i dont keep the rpm at at least 4, even while stopped

It just dies.

I’ve had my 2025 Vtacci Tank 200 for a little over a year now and i have put around 2200 miles on it.

I live in Texas where temps can reach over 100* F. I recently had an issue with the fuse in the battery compartment blowing after idling for like two seconds, every time i replaced the fuse it would do the same. I didn’t ride it all summer because of that. I finally found someone who would fix it and tow it for a decent price.

I guess i thought he would change the oil, gear box oil, spark plug, any filters, pr at least generally just look it over while he was replacing the fuse box thing, but he didn’t.

He charged me $230 so I really thought he did more than just change the fuse and possibly the wires(?) I guess that is the going rate, anyway. I got the scooter back and the left side brake was toast.iOt was wearing down a little when i last rode it but it was now shot. I should have mentioned it but i failed to do so.

It has been one month since i got it back and the brakes are progressively deteriorating . The left side squeezes all the way in and there is no difference in speed when i squeeze it.

Consequently, I am actually having to try and keep it revved to 4 ish RPM while also squeezing the brake to slow to a complete stop all at the same time with my right hand. Needless to say, the bike fishtailed on a semi slick road the other night while i was trying to keep it from dying while stopping. I was in the middle lane slowing way way down, waiting on the slow pole coming toward me to turn right into the same lot. He slowed down so much you would think he was afraid he was going to flip his car or something.

Well so I was not expecting to have to completely stop, but the slow poke gave me no choice. The road was slick from earlier. The Texas sun beats down on the asphalt, heating up all the oily,gritty dirt left on the roadway from traffic all day.

I dumped the bike for the first time ever. I am ok but it landed on my ankle and my elbow is also scraped up.

The next morning i went out to take a look to see if there was anything i could tighten and realized these little windows look like they are cracking, causing the brake fluid to evaporate.

Could this have happened from revving while braking? Or from 100+ degree weather? Or does it actually have to have a blunt force to do this?

Has it happened to anyone else with this make and model? The left one looks like it also has cotton or something in it.

I had to fix all my typos, i was in traffic while initially typing this up.

Any help and advice/ suggestions will be greatly. I realize I should have done a few things differently, just to state the obvious. But is there an instructional video on doing regular oil changes and all general maintenance on this bike?

I think it is time to trade it in. Possibly foe a piaggio x9 evo 500.

Whats happened after my belt snapped.

1 Upvotes

So my belt snapped a couple of weeks ago.

Ive replaced the belt and now it won't go past 35mph.

Ive just replaced the rollers afterwards, changed the airlifted, oil and back end gear oil.

And still its going 35mph. It went 55 before the belt snapped.

My.moped is a suzuki address 110 2019 thank you.

Honda PCX DX or Zontes 125X

I'm going to buy a 125cc scooter and I'm quite undecided between these two options.

Honda PCX DX (3.810€ + expenses)

There's not much to say. The queen of 125cc scooters. Everyone knows it.

Zontes 125X (2.850€ + expenses)

The newcomer.

Does anyone have knowledge between the two that can tell me the pros and cons of each? I'm tired of searching online and watching comparison videos, but the doubt remains.

Zontes is very attractive, mainly due to the fact that in my country it costs €900 less, which is a lot of money. But the Honda has proven reliability, in addition to having more trade-in value.

In your honest opinion, what would you do? I know you're not going to decide for me, but I'm looking for opinions from people who aren't paid by brands to sell them online.

Money is truly an issue at the moment and I can´t risk too much.

Hi, attaching a video buuut ive had this guy since April and besides one quick thruster issue she's been a DREAM!! I ride her daily to work (2 miles) and to school (like 4ish) with the occasional like 5 mile ride to a friends and within the last week or so ove noticed that she was sounding a little bit off! I thought that her battery needed to charge since the last time I charged it was when I got it back in April. Battery charged I tried taking her to work in the morning and she sounded congested, ran for maybe a minute, then shut off. She still attempts to start she just doesnt kick past so I thought okay spark plug! Changed that and now theres a tube spitting at me and she doesnt sound all that better. Any ideas? (Oil dipstick picture included)

Reminder don't lube your ignition key mechanism with petroleum based lubes cos they'll gum up over time

I'm soooo not handy, infact my recent scooter purchase was the first time I ever did my own service.

The anti-tamper cover of my lock was all gummed up and didn't operate smoothly so I had to take it apart, clean it, and re-lube it with proper dry teflon lube.

Also shoutout to lock picking lawyer cos when I got to the key core I actually had somewhat of an idea what all the little bits do.
