Stronger contra spring will make it run at even higher revs, no?

Does give banance to heavier rollers. When you come to a hill and you feel the bike go slower, give a little gas to compensate but nothing hapens. Then the spring is a bit soft. With harder/stiffer spring you can hear the engin rev up a bit. And become more responsive. Remember, balancing a vario is t&e..

I wanna buy an aftermarket exhaust but Don't want to spend $4-500. Want deep tone as well.

If so many have problems with Dr. Pulley sliders I'm not gonna install them.. Hard to believe that rollers/sliders can snap a belt. Must be the extra torque/faster acc. and this heavy bike + rider -passenger. Too weak!

Have been riding since i was 5 and racing from 12 so trust me, I know how a sparkplug should look like. Tnx for your link anyway. Could be helpful. To be accurate you have to ride it like you stole it and then remove the plug. It is a bit lean today but far from too lean. I was trying to find a combo that works, don't wanna invent the wheel again if someone did modify cvt with good result.

Someone give me advice on a nice combo of roller wheight and stronger contra spring. Have almost brand new dp sliders 29x22 30g but i'm not sure they will work wit my xc 500 2007. Yes I know they are one mm larger than stock. Does it REALLY matter? A variator isn't exactly a precision tool. They will lift the belt (in theory) 1mm higher.
I also noticed when the scooter gets hot the contra spring tends to get softer. Had same issue with another scooter from the same area.. bad quality.
Also think the engine are running lean.

You're right

They have a summer event here at my local water park called Bubbalympics. Only people over 275 lbs. I thought about entering this year  :D. It's free for friends and family of contestants to come into the park. I'm about 6'3 with a large build and right at 275. I'm not gonna lie, I do have a slight beer belly too  ;D. Not like some of the fat f%%ks over here though  :D

Bubba.. reminds me of the burgers. Very good.

Wtf. Use proper protection! Driving without it is NOT cool.

If you gets injured for life and sits there in your wheelchair and not able to speak then. How "cool" is that?

Grow up!

Personally I don't give a sh*t.

Don't quite understand.. I have been visiting USA only two times but on both my trips I saw people driving without helmet on.
Legal or not, doesent matter. It's dangerous and uncomfortable as :-[.
Wonder how people think.

Xciting 500 / Re: Sv: Insurance cost around the globe.
« on: August 11, 2012, 12:27:31 PM »
In general, a 50cc scooter costs between €150-500/year/full, HD (all customs) €80-?, GSXR etc. €~200-insane.., touring bikes often have special insurances through clubs and BMW/Gold Wings are cheap too. Ofcourse age, where you live, garage or not affect the cost. Larger scooters are in most cases cheap.

That one is Chinese. You can find 125cc engine and/or big bore 80cc for it.

..it needs no kit, or a bigger engine...

..hell it runs 55 indicated with nothing but boss and cdi...


..aannnd, while KYMCO does have facilities in China, this is definately not a "chinese" scoot!...lol..

Fyi. I have owned an identical scooter. Baotian sport..

The only thing I did was cutting the pink wire to the cdi.
