By now we all know ScooterNitro does not build these, (do it yourself kits ) May as well say that, for in no time you will have it scattered all over your work bench.
These are not a take out of the Crate, Service an go. For get ready the fun is about to begin. a Word to the wise, go over it an check all Nuts, Studs an screws, even if you have to take it apart, to get to the engine. For they never even put a Exhaust Gasket in it, ( How I found out it was making a louder an louder noise. Then I find that one stud an nut was gone, an the other stud the nut was gone, Then when I tore into it, we find that there was no Gasket, they even knew it, for they tourqued it down so hard that they bent the ears that hold the Exhaust pipe to the Cyclinder Head.
Have to say, putting New Tires that are round, made it ride a lot better. Still rides like sitting on a old log.
Now I just tore into the turn signal switch, when you tear into it. ( BEWARE there is a small round bearing they use in the function of this Switch. ) So be prepaired to use hand signals, or MFG, a way to make it work, with out that spring an bearing.I will let you know how, what I made up wors, with out going to a cycle shop an get a Quality built Switch.
Before I wrote about no instrunctions how to change the rear Tire. While I was fixing that Exhaust pipe, is when I changed that rear Tire. You loosen the Muffler Clamp, 12mm, an Remove the bolts that hold the Muffler, Next Loosen the AQxle Nut 22mm an then you can loosen the three studs that hold the Caliper, I advise that you have a 6 point socket 12mm
for they have them torqued down good, other wise you may round off the corners. Then you remove the 12mm stud that hols your shock., Remove Axle nut an an spacer, keeping things in order., an reverse to reassemble.
I also had a leak from fuel tank at the seam, I repaired it with JB Weld
As I stated ScooterNitro does not MFG these, yet why don't they, report to them, all these head ackes going on, Just like in the beginning, that Signal Switch, was not tightened down properly, to find out, there is a catch on the switch to keep it in position. They never drilled a hole in the handle bar for the pin. All I did was take a grinder an cut an indention.
Again, I say, if you don't have any patients, or Mechanical Knowledge, STAY AWAY. Even if they give it to you, you will get your test.
I forgot to tell you I made up my own gasket, was not easy. I took a solid piece of copper wire 10 gauge, an found a socket to match the size of the pipe( not the outer flange) wraped it around the socket. till ends met flush, made 2 of them, then I cut from the top of a can of Peanuts, the aliuminum, an put two of hose on top of the copper rings. TAKE YOUR TIME an make sure you have the same size hole as the I>D> of the Exhaust pipe.
I HOPE THIS GIVES SOME ONE SOME HELP. REMEMBER PATIENTS . AN some one should start a parts store, for as I read, an they tell me 3 weeks for parts, we shall see, for I order gaskets, Brake Pads ETC. |
