..you mist resample your pics...
..i use "Irfanview"..for quick pic resampling...
..it's a small, quick and powerful program for internet pic editing...
..you can first "resample" the pic, then save it as a .jpg in a lower compression ration...
..can result in a good quality 800 X 600 pic at 50 kb, for example..

Resealed and good to go sorry about the white sealent its all i had to hand at the time but its all good lol anyone viewing these pics save them and zoom in you can clearly see the wire you have to cut thro please see last 2 posts.Tc omfgdotcodotuk :)
-
Hey, you got the pics posted! Alright, omfg! :)
Um...what color is the wire I'm looking for? I wanna zoom in really close and see it. Is it like a copper wire or color coated?
-
It's a tiny copper wire. Just cut deep. Nothing there but the one wire.
It's easier to see in person than on these photos, I was surprised when I cut it.
-
rianna its copper coloured you cant miss it just take your time use a utility knife like i did cos if you use a saw the abrasiveness may well hide it.let me know how you get on :)
-
Thanks all, and will let you know, omfg. I'm not gonna do anything with it though, until I discover the source of the noise in the front end because it has gotten louder and very annoying for me. :(
-

Definitely a good idea!
-
If the noise is getting louder, it would be worth getting it looked at, just to make sure it is safe to ride.
-
sounds good to me

Shhhh...sid, don't jinx me yet! I'm still hoping for the "easy fix." lol
-
lmao ria :)
-
Hey omfg, any chance your CDI has any part numbers on it. My second People does not have the external rev limiter disconnect and I've cut the crap out it, still no wire.
-
There is another way.
-
Sorry about the late post S E G yeah bud would you like me to post the numbers on this string? :)
-
Shhhh...sid, don't jinx me yet! I'm still hoping for the "easy fix." lol
..sorry to bump the thread, but rianna, did you ever take the caliper off??
-
..sorry to bump the thread, but rianna, did you ever take the caliper off??
No, I didn't wordslinger. That thing is on there good. My son couldn't get it, my friend's son down the street couldn't get it and my next-door neighbor's son couldn't get it either. Those bolts don't want to move. All 3 of our son's are fairly strong, so I guess it wasn't just an issue of me being a weakling. lol. Looks like I may have to invest in a tool or something if I want to try to work on it myself, and I'm broke for about 11 more days. :(
Thank you for asking, though!
-
Sure OMFG. Another suggestion Sid?
-
lets all sent rianna some muscles.lol you well get it im sure I get so mad at my self sometimes when I cant do things but I know to slow down and take it easy.think think what can I do to get this off.

I was looking for another cdi, but they can be expensive, when I found a cheap one for a honda dio, I bought it, as a zx50 is basically a dio clone. When I found the plug was different I was faced with an option of put it aside and not use it, or, try to figure it out. I found out that there are two basic types of cdi, a/c fired or d/c fired. I don't know much about them, but it seems if your cdi is a/c fired, you can buy one that is a/c fired and even though the plugs may be different you can work out how to hook it up. In my case it was a/c 5 wires, so it seems I can get any a/c 5 wire cdi and connect it. I only have one scooter so I can't try on any others. I won't be paying top dollar for a genuine cdi. Can you tell me the colours of the wires going to your cdi?
-
Hey Sid,
The big connector has 4 ports w/ 2 wires; 1 green and 1 black w/yellow tracer.
Small connector has 1 black w/blue tracer and 1 blue w/yellow tracer.
-
S E G, I was going to suggest another cdi, I see your's is a dc unit, should be able to pick one up easy enough. If you can work out what other scoots use the same cdi, you could probably get one cheaper.
With mine, I find a lot more gear looking for Honda Dio than I do looking for Kymco ZX50. I recently bought a cdi for a Honda Dio, $10, the same unit for the ZX was about $40.
