Save some cash for a ZX!.
..i'm tryin' but...dang!!
..can just see this cobra witha 40mm lift kit, modded flap, set of viper strykes, some interior and ground effect lighting...
...just wish it was red...
-
OK Already... I'll paint it for you... Do all the prep, and I'll spray it.
If you want one color I can finish prep/spray in one day, cure for one, and ship the third. If you want two colors on one panel add two days total.
I do hope that is why you keep saying you want it in red...
Real clean scoot. I think I would like those. What are you doing w/ your other S9?
-
..youi mean the 70cc, bertha??
..she is waiting on cold weather...
..she runs hot in th summer...
-
....lol..no, i got ppl looking for a red racer...
..could sell thisn real quick...
-
...btw, the 2001 cobra racer has restricted driven pulleys...
..not sure about the 2000, but i believe they are smooth...
-
Those rocket things would make excellent sub woofer tubes. A pair of 4" Sound Streams would LOVE you! Some simple add ons 1 pr 4" co-ax mids/amp/smart phone/mp3 player would set it over the top!
-
..YEAH, AND IMMA PAINT THEM RED...
-
..youi mean the 70cc, bertha??

So you really don't have that one dialed in yet... I bet it will scream!
-
Nice looking Scoot those cobras. :)
...........shame its not RED :P
Rattle can it red, easy and cheap. Or just run over some old folk at speed, the blood splatter will get it nice and red.
-
If its running hot during the summer and not in cold weather you need to upjet or make sure al the holes on your engine cover are all closed off. A seize can happen in the cold just as fast in the heat.
Its funny all of us on here live too far apart to help each other lol. If I didnt have my neighbor I would probably be riding junk.
-

..yeah, the jetting is spot-on, so i don't want to change that, and it has no engine covers, as its liquid cooled...
..what it does have is a high compression head...
..i have the original, just havnt swapped it..
..just figured i would ride her this winter, and give nina a rest...
So you really don't have that one dialed in yet... I bet it will scream!
i've done nothing to this one yet...
-
ah yeah the lc model, i wish I had one of those for sure. Someday i will! Nice find too, on the new one.
-

Yo, Word, we don't have the Cobra here but the Kymco Top Boy. It's 100cc and 2-stroke. Except for the displacement, does it have the same engine as the Cobra?

..wowww..100cc 2t...
..i'd be in ..heaven....

..wowww..it all LOOKS the same!!!
-
..vivo, i'll trade you a cobra..."like new"..
..for one of those 100cc 2t top boys...
...huh??..okay??
-
Lol! A used one can cost around 350 - 400 USD here.
-
..hmmm..wonder what the shipping would be...
-
I'll just get one for myself and have a sticker made for the side panel "inspired by WORDSLINGER" and I'll post pics and WOT videos... ;D fair enough?
-
..while all that would be pretty cool, i'd much rather be riding the 100cc scoot...
..i'm just sayin'....
-
hmmm... decisions... decisions.... ::)

Maybe just find a 100 top boy engine. Ebay UK maybe? Ebay Taiwan for sure.
Shipping plastics is tricky. 2 smaller boxes are cheaper than one large box. I paid 50.00 for two boxes to Texas a few months ago. The body from the Vruk. So maybe 100.00 for shipping both ways, and another 60 or so for paint components. You should be able to have it done local at a body shop for about the same if you do most of the prep. Unless you want to ship. I'd be happy to do them for you.

..note!!..
..the 2001 cobra racer's driven pulleys are restricted...
..at least, this one is....
-
..this one also has a 37mm drive boss...
..kinda odd.....
..we have named this scoot...
..we call it "evil cobra"...
..mostly due to a few 24s and the mis-matched decals...lol..
-
..this is cobra, my bud miguel's 2000...

..gots a 743-18-28 gates boost innit now, with a 37mm boss....
-
I think you did mention the boost belt and boss.
cuz I didn't think I had heard of the "boost" belt.
I'm sure she runs good as a mo fo by now.... :D
-
..i'm trying to keep it as simple as possible...
...humping off the line at 7000, then hangs out at @ 7800 to 40+...fairly quickly...lol..
..i've only topped her out @ 53, as i'm still healing up from a dislocated shoulder from 2 weeks ago...
..cant ride much, for very long at least...
-
i'm still healing up from a dislocated shoulder from 2 weeks ago...
Seems that I seen a post that mentioned that. I hadn't heard anything about that ordeal......
.i'm trying to keep it as simple as possible..
HA....If only it were simple....
I miss my 2t...... :'( ::)
-
..that wassa pain i'd not wish on my worst enemy...
..well..maybe on that one, but not anbody else!!!
;)
-
I can only imagine the pain that one is...
..I have experienced different pain but that could top it. Seems the popping back in would also be a MO FO....
What happened?.... You never called on that so I didn't get the scoop...........(if you wanna say that is, I mean uhhhh...lmao)

Where'd you find that ? I searched high and low for an original Bando/Kymco OEM A50 belt but even the "stock" one from the dealer was not the same ??? And he wanted over £35 for it !!! I walked away with him shouting " Sir.....Sir..... Excuse me sir.....you need to pay fkr this cos i ordered it in especially for you sir......." never went back, never will hopefully, if i do the i need a fake moustache and some specs. :D
I want one :D
-
I knew somebody will react... ;D ;D ;D I just borrowed the pic from ebay but that's exactly the same I bought. I got it from a Kymco dealer in our place. They have every part there... but the air filter was out of stock because of the recent flood where almost everyone got one... We only have the Agility 125 here tho...
-
Youre just a big tease Vivo :(
-
Youre just a big tease Vivo :(
:D
The Bando brand is more expensive than the OEM Kymco, I don't know why... We don't have the Gates brand here so were stuck with OEM Kymco and Bando....
-
I cant find a Bando at all here in my size. Can get Gates ok but no Bando for some reason. The Dealer assured me he would order me a Bando exact same as the stock one that came in my scoot but it wasnt a bando when i got there so i walked. Camt even find one online using the Bando number ???
-
The Endurance brand belt is also a good belt. It's made in Taiwan and a lot of scoots use this here.

i bought a gates belt last week for my a 50, the seller looked in the book and stated it was the right one. put it on and its a little small. thought when i looked it was aboul 1 inch shorter and thought the old one must have stretched a lot. now the scoot seems to neare stall like its in a high gear. pulling away very slow.cost £21.50. this morning of ebay just bought a naraku Kymco Agility RS 50cc HQ Drive Belt (280908988957). im hoping this is a better fit.

Yup, same thing happened to me. Gates grade their belts differently so it IS shorter even tho it says its tbe correct size. I got one too that is just as useless as yours. The Nakura WILL fit. 729-17.7(or18)-30 belts normally fit, apart from the gates. Ihave a Nakura in right now. Im running high rpm's so they dont last too long in mine before they start to fray a little at the edges, 3-4 months normally, sometomes a little longer. Thats why i wanted a Bando OEM, i still have my original stock one here, its a little thin with wear but still works as an emergency belt and has no frays on it. The Bando seems pretty indestructable.
-

graet lol... thought it would last longer than that... well if anyone knows where we can find a Bando belt for the agility 50 in the uk. do tell
-
Just my 2 pennies worth...
SUPPOSEDLY the A50, the S9, the Yup, the Cobra, and the Top-boy all use the same belt.. They are seeming to have the same part number..........I will double check to verify again...
-
It may last longer in your scoot Skippy, i just go full pelt everywhere on mine, its rarely running under 7000rpm, even up hills it over 6800-6900rpm ;D
Batman if thats correct then it might make finding a bando easier. I took the Bando number off my stock belt and had a look online a few months ago tho and couldnt find one anywhere. Think i may email Bando direct and ask them soon as i remember to get round to it.
-
We have a Bando belt distributor here where we get any belt for cars, scoots, etc. Don't they have Bando distributors in other countries? The Bando distributor here is Philippine Bearing Corp. They carry bearings and belts. My point here is that maybe instead of going to scooter shops or scooter dealers, why not try the importers and distributors of belts in your areas.

Jiangwayne carries Bando as their main line. I ordered a "Bando" a few weeks ago from Provo scooter for the QMB 139 engine, and got some cheap ass copy. I forget the brand but called, and they emailed me a return UPS label. I like the Bando MUCH better than Malossi but they do slip in hi hp engines. Malossi never slips. Malossi explodes. And yes the Gates belts do run shorter than the application. I hate belts.

I don't know of ONE scooter shop in Fl. that stocks anything except batteries, and helmets. It's much different here. People on scoots are looked at like lepers...
-
Maybe it will change in a few years. Same here before the 90's. Motorbikes with no gas tanks up front are for "ladies" or a "motorbike for subdivisions". And small bikes per se are only for the "poor". It all started when those used Dios and Jogs from Japan came in by the containers (entered thru the backdoor) and filled the streets with these tiny things. Then the market for performance parts grew and everybody wanted a scooter or a small bike.. then came gas prices.... then came Chinese scoots that pulled the prices of Hondas and Yamahas way down in order to compete... Now, there are 4 million small motorbikes in our tiny country and growing more everyday....
Facts:
Motorcycles and scooters here sell more than hot cakes.....
Dealers stock dozens of bikes for fear that buyers might go to the competitor.....

Now that I see how silly I must look... I understand why people would be too afraid to say so as well.
Actually I am getting a little tired of all the drama involved with these things.
I think I will make scoots less of a priority, and I'll start on an off road version of a 250 Ninja. I just happen to know where one is for sale. No title, and dumped a few times. I believe it will be MUCH cheaper to build, and those parts are avail everywhere. I've been wanting a dirt bike for quite some time now. I just couldn't figure on the type/model.
