zx50 / Older ZX with fading, where is the color code?
« on: April 11, 2013, 09:46:51 PM »
Hi -
Older ZX 50 is quite faded and while I think it orange, local dealer believes it red.
One piece has a dumb word faded into it from a sticker...which I want to paint.
Is there a sticker on the scoot with the official, original color?
Thanks in advance

Technical | How To / How do you test a speedo on a People 50?
« on: September 24, 2012, 03:18:58 AM »
Have an '04 that I just replaced the cable and assembly (original rusted through) also replaced the lens as it was smashed.
Clock works but speedo does not...
Before I buy a new speedo (or used) both of which are pricey ... is there a way to further test the one I have?
Thank you!

People 50 / Heidenau K66 90/80/16 & 110/70/16 anyone have an opinion?
« on: September 11, 2012, 10:17:33 PM »
Trying to buy a set of K63s (front is in stock but rear will not be in until 9/22).
Spoke to motoamore (US importer) SUPER nice gentlemen (who used to service scooters and installed these sets on People 50's) recommended the K66s albeit available in these sizes - 90/80/16 & 110/70/16
Anyone tried this set-up? or have opinions?
Thank you!

People 50 / $75 scoot needs tires, opinions please.
« on: September 07, 2012, 05:20:42 PM »
Afternoon gentlemen and gals,
$75 scoot needs a new set of tires.
Not sure if I will keep this scoot or sell it for funds to revise/fix an '01 Cobra Cross.
So, I read many of the previous posts here on tires and need some clarity.
IF I stay with a 80/80/16 front and 110/80/16 rear, Bike Bandit has a Shinko SR568 rear for $40.61 but no tubeless 80/80 (they have a tubed Shinko SR714 for $33.79)
So is this my only economical option? I really want tubeless on both but it appears if I put a 100/80/16 on the front, roller adjustments would be required...yes? and if I can use a 100/80/16, which one should I use? as the SR568 shows only as a rear tire.
Any help would be appreciated as I would like to order ASAP (already getting chilly where I live).
Thank you, thank you!

zx50 / ZX starting tips?
« on: September 01, 2012, 02:43:37 AM »
'01 that was running fine and starting as soon as the button was pushed.
New battery
Let it sit for a month while waiting for a battery cover (I know, lazy and dumb on my part).
Part arrived and it tries to start but no fire...
On the people, after sitting, covering the square intake helps it to start... and this trick did indeed work for me a couple times...
What should I try please with the ZX?
Thanks!

People 50 / NOW RUNNING! $75 2004 now needs tires/speedo parts...
« on: August 30, 2012, 10:50:37 PM »Couldn't resist a $75 People 50.... thought stories of folks finding them were like spotting a unicorn...
She's not the prettiest, but pretty damn complete...
Picked up a new battery today (trickling as I type) and a new end for one of the battery cables...
Still would like to find some used parts and have called locally with no luck...any ideas or sources would be appreciated!
(I have called stadium and they are researching costs but admitted at least 2 1/2 weeks at best...)
Need both the left and right brake levers (both are bent, one crazily so...) according to the scoot shop, these will snap if I try to straighten... anyone have a method that will avoid a snap?
Speedo lens cover (last owner smashed this during transport somehow)
Right mirror
and less importantly -
muffler heat shield
vin cover
seats (main and buddy ... or just main) these are not only ripped but have chunks out...
anyone parting one out or have any leads on where to call?
scooter season is short in the rockies, so I'm trying to act fast...
and is there a link to a the People 50 2T service manual?
thank you thank you thank you
pics to come...

zx50 / What is the "collar" in the trans?
« on: July 13, 2012, 03:33:40 AM »
Yet another newb question.
I took the '01 ZX into the scoot shop...
Scoot shop owner took it for a spin to give me his opinion...as I have never ridden a "good" or any ZX... just Peoples and the ZX seemed "clunky" to say the least.
He schooled me the apples and oranges between the ZX and People... stated the ZX (stock of course) is a slower start off the line...
but he thought the transmission might be off...and
Had a leak coming from the carb ...
so I agreed to an hour labor to reconnect the carb nipple and check the trans...
he discovered the "collar' was the wrong part/size (meant for a People, etc but not the ZX) and he replaced it...
whew, so hopefully this makes sense as I have explained what I remember but now would someone school me please as to what the collar is and what it does?
thank you in advance for your patience...

zx50 / 2001 starting issue
« on: June 18, 2012, 04:50:02 AM »
Bought this about a month ago and it did start after many tries...
Stupidly let it set and now it will not start.
I used to own a people and after letting it sit too long, blocking the square intake would help to start it.
Any ideas like this for a zx? Should I just try taking out the spark plug and putting a few drops of gas in?
Thanks in advance
