Re: What brand of gear oil should I use for my gears?

You won't get a recommendation for gear oil because it's wrong. If thicker is better, I vote pack that sucker with grease and see what happens...

That's a lot of pipe for a stock crank, might want to step down to a smaller exhaust.

Re: **** Official Scooter Video Post! ****

Thanks! They each get a little better, now the moped scene is really picking up again and other people are going to be bringing out cameras too so hopefully I'll get some good stuff soon.

Re: 87 elite motor swap

Rewire the plugs by matching colors (very easy), I don't like hacking my harness so I rewired the stator plug on the motor and left my bike untouched.
You need to grab 2 extra sleeves/dowels from the kicker case (or just go without your existing ones) to shim the motor mount bolt.

Throw on a dio from a 94+ elite, perfect foundation for some go fast parts

Re: Need transportation, considering an Elite or Spree

I have many friends at 300+ that ride daily, but they are on modded 94+ elites. A stock bike probably wouldn't work too well in a hilly area.

Re: contessa vs corsa vs 51mm ruima

I've run multiple 50mm/51mm bores without cutting the boost port, runs fine to me. Maybe not at max potential, but I can always go back to a stock cylinder if I need to.

Re: Bore kit suggestions..

I have a 50mm bore from tazland, roughly $100 on ebay. 3000 miles on my bore so far and no problems. It's not as fast as a corsa but you get what you pay for. I can do about 60mph just fine so that's good enough for me.

Re: ****Official Picture Post****

So last night it must have gotten down to 60 degrees, maybe even 55... we were FREEZING :P Today we just had to go out and defrost because it was so nice and sunny. Did about a 70 mile trip today, got to my friends house down at the beach and chilled for a while: http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...

Yeah because if it's not Bear's way, it's stupid :P Excuse me while I go move the 5th bimmer down by the 1st bimmer, so the 4th bimmer will have room to park ;)

Re: Battery Installation Tip

I usually stick a zip tie under the lug while I tighten it down. I don't leave it in but there always seems to be a piece of a zip tie handy :P
