Ruima Gear installation

Post by NetCustoms »

I have the Ruima gear that needs to be pressed on. Can anyone tell me which way it is supposed to be pressed on? I am guessing it needs to be pressed on so that the R insignia is face up but i am not sure since I don't have the scooter here at work with me.

Not for sure about the R but you want the bigger/taller dome to face up.

Ok, that would but the R facing the engine as it is inserted into the case. I think it fits better with the other gear that way as well so I THINK that is correct. Just funny how they put an insignia on it and it goes on toward the engine so it cant ever be read. I don't want to read it but you figure that it is an indicator of orientation.

I knew someone would say exactly that about reading it. I am just glad you gave me the right answer first!

Thanks!

It is all good. Appreciate the help, all the bikes I have built so far have been Kymcos.

How you been doing at the track lately? I actually got into scooters from being in the pits bored and waiting! Probably will be building a drag scoot after I move in August.

Any kymco ZX50's?

I am almost finished with my 125cc build.....that should be fun at the track.

I am hoping to get below 10.9 seconds in the 1/8th mile. :nervous:

I have built up 2 ZX50s, just Airsal kit and a bunch of malossi parts. It is probably my favorite scooter to work on and I have owned 4 super 9s that I bought, fixed and sold. The sickest stock scooter I ever owned was an Italjet Dragster 50 that I wish I could kept but someone offered me the right price to let it go. It actually wasn't the most comfortable scooter though.

I found a pic of the Italjet Dragster. They even make a 180cc kitted 2 stroke scoot that starts life as a 125cc. Rare very Rare.

That single sided front fork setup is kinda cool.

Looks like some futuristic TRON type scooter :imo:

Yea, very Tron like. My friend on the Super9 forum rode a 180cc modified Italjet Dragster. Does 90mph all day and water cooled! It is beefier than the 50cc version cuz 90mph on that small of a frame is silly.
