That looks right to me...

The question is... Why not just pre-mix your first couple tanks "to be safe". That way, if you AND I are both wrong, you haven't blown up another top end.

If you have a 92 elite you can't change the gear ratio, dump the scoot and find an elite-s
Can't afford speed then stay away from it!

He probably has nothing just likes talking s***.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I always wondered how the oiler gets tied open, my Spree does not have a cable, it's automatic.

hey smart people, quick question....
how long do i keep it like this? forever? just for break in? first 100 miles?
i said something about this to a guy i know and he said " for what the first 20 miles? i cant see you needing this for that long. i dont see what it could hurt but you will go though plugs fast"
and i am going though plugs. on my bore kit i got about 100 miles down thats why im asking

I un-ziptied mine at @ 75 miles. I now run it so that it opens a bit faster (more oil) Everything is running tip-top. Jar-Jar (thats the name of my Elite) rules the tarmac. I actually passed some other scoot yesterday on a flat, just zipped right by him, it was all shiny and new and Jar-Jar is a rat-scooter for sure, made me smile!!
