I think there's somekind of organize scoot thieves in my area,in the past 4 months there's been atleast 5 scooters that's been stolen,2 of which I know the owners.one of them saw a pick up truck passing back and forth before his bike was stolen.
It would take at least 2 average size guys to lift it up on truck's bed,I've installed an alarm because of this hoping to scare them a little with the 120 decibel alarm I installed.
Watch out guys ,you're scoot could be "Gone in sixty seconds" $$: /

I'm guessing you're using really light rollers to compensate the big wheels.I've been seeing more and more kymco people on the road here where I live,I think folks like those bigger tires,gives them the feeling of riding a motorcycle.

Peters ,how long have you had those rollers,just wanna know how long they last,.You must have a good top end since your bike (people)has larger wheels than most of us here,and I'm pretty sure less vibration with the big tires.

Streido,when u say on the clock ,you mean the reading on your speedometer right?Silly question but wondering.I find it helpful to find out my real speed passing this one street in my area that has one of those radar speed limit that shows my actual speed.gps didn't work for me since it's hard to take a look at the gps while at full speed.
Pumping up tires gave me extra 1-1/2 miles per hour.I noticed air in my tire loses psi in just one day.I don't think I wanna pump everyday though ,.I wonder how's those Michelin tires from provoscooter,maybe less pumping.

Hey Bat,I'm assuming that 55 mph is on level ground right?so downhill you'll probably reach 60+mph with 72cc kit,I have a friend with your set up and he's leaving anything in the dust on acceleration.

Okay guys ,back to the topic,So I'll assume that if our little engine doesn't go past 65+ mph,Our piston and cylinder will be safe from harm of over rev and lack of lubrication.So far the fastest I've ran was 55mph (going down hill).Kinda scary with the stock tires.

Always summer here in Hawaii(lol),.Makes sense what u said SID,samething happens to my friends Ruckus,it takes few days of no use and his scoot will need several kicks also to start,at least 20 kicks.I'm not to sure about scoot with 70cc kit,might be different.

Haha,Gud one,there's a possibility that the gas from the float bowl evaporates and reduce the gas in carb and needs to crank to fill up.that's still a mystery right now..

The autochoke was my first thought when hard to start,but if it was it will be hard to start everyday,my scoot only has hard starting after 3 days of no use.So I'm guessing it could be that the gas might be evaporating leaving some gummy deposits blocking or sticking something in the carb.
If this is happening to me and Peters ,I'm sure we're not the only ones.

Peters I have similar situation with my scoot,I learned that just 3 days of not starting my scoot and I will be having a hard time starting it,But after atleast 50+ kicks and it will start,still gives me that scary feeling that it will never start.What I do now if I'm getting hard time to start is I put a rag on the kickstart lever and I use my hand to kickstart or punch start(lol),I found it easier that way,but either way I will end up all sweaty(gud workout)lol.It's not on the manual what to do but I learned it from you.
Over all my sting 50's running great.

How you been Peters,hey man just wanna say thank you for all the help.how your people 50 running?
Hills here where I live(Hawaii) can stretch to miles and miles.I think the longest hills I've climbed was about 6-8 miles,thats offcourse with WOT.
I'm thinking of going to this one town (elevation 3,000 ft)For a cruise.
Might have to adjust carb due to less oxygen.

I agree Streido,feels better with the 50s,no need for motorcycle endorsement,and yearly registration fees/insurance.
I would think that your agility will be just fine at constant WOT ,4strokers oil's always circulating in your engine,but Bat has a point going downhill might over rev to 10,000 rpm.

Hey Bat ,thats quite a good collection of bikes you have,I'm thinking of getting a four stroker as back up When I saved up enough,lots of good deal on craigslist for the past month,how's the acceleration on your Agility?
