Man you did a great job on your bike. I also have problems with my speedometer. What's that digital speedometer name and price? Did you need big modifications to mount it? I'm sad you sold it and didn't continue reviewing it..
The smallest hose in the rear is a vent for the transmission. The larger hose in the front is likely from PCV valve (will come off the cylinder head.) OK to vent these to the outside. As for air filter, I ended up using a conical filter clamped onto a rubber pipe fitting (from Lowes) which was clamped to the carb. Actually worked and looked good. Do not remember size.
After you took the air intake off, what was the consequence for the 'two hoses' that were connected to it? I'm so ready to get rid of the ugly thing! Also, what diameter cone air filter did you use? Thanks for your 'pro' help, I'm totally not a mechanic!
Definitely would not buy a new Chinese Scooter unless you are handy working on them. If you look at the first part of this video, their cylinder bore had a metal ridge in it and it shredded my piston instantly. But a replacement cylinder and piston was $70 and took a few hours to change out. The frame is quite stable and vibration free at 58 MPH. Change out the fuel and vacuum lines and you are good to go.
so you basically bought a cheap scooter and spent at least twice as much getting it to work as you spend for the original scooter? How about you get a better scooter next time and save the hassle!
That is a good looking bike, much better looking than my rocketa. If they made one of these with a 250 it would sell faster than they could make them most likely.
