Hey Guys and Gals, My name is Ryan Carden and I started scooter-news.com back in October after not being able to find a comprehensive source for my passion;...
Ryan My first two wheeler was a Honda S90 brought brand new back in I guess 1967. At that time there were no big bikes to buy other than Harley or Triamph or...
Ryan, While I appreciate the work you are doing on your "scooter" site, These old Honda's don't exactly fit in here at the Chinese Scooter Forum. This Forum is...
Sparky, The site not focused on all Hondas. That is just what I have at the moment and what the spotlight is on. The reason for posting on groups like the...

Hey guys, I have a 50c.c. Panterra Freedom scooter that was distributed by Baja Motorsports, and sold at the Pep Boys Auto stores. I have heard that going up...
Wow, what a discussion! I own a Chinese scooter, but I have seen the site scooternews, and I like it. Nice job. Sometimes, for certain people, especially those...
I've done the up the carb size thing. I upgraded from a 24mm to a 32mm carb. Overall, I get a better top end with the 24mm carb then the 32mm. If your looking...
Greetings all... Many tks to all that responded to my request for help! I now have a horn that works! (Now I just need to fix the left rear turn indicator...
Louis I want more small hill climbing power than speed. It is pretty flat out here, there are only four hills on the 22 mile trek to and from the morning...
Hi folks, I need a lot of help and this message may be a bit long too. I bought an old Honda motorcycle and the previous owner pulled a complete wire harness,...
I would recommend taking a look at the wiring diagram in the "files" section, and using it to be sure that everything is hooked up correctly first. Almost all...
Alex, Thanks for the response and recommendation. I used the diagram today and verified what I thought was the case harness wise. Here is where I am at today. ...
Yes, timing IS an issue with a CDI. The CDI must match the engine it is used on. (CDI= Compact Distributorless Ignition) If your harness and engine came off...
I had a first for me yesterday. I do not know if it was the cheap Chinese tires or just me. I turned a sharp corner, and my scoot just slid right out from...
The CDI, coil, starter relay, switches, engine, and harness were all removed and reinstalled on this bike. It ran at one time, but not sure if it ran on this...
I, once, looked into timing and settings and such in regards to a scooter. Found it's, basically, up to the flywheel triggering the firing point and bam. May I...
No, Gary, I haven't. Are the tires okay? Was there something in the road, like a rock? I am glad you are okay. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hello all, Online, there are many YouTube videos showing how to repair Chinese scooters, and here is one that shows timing marks on the 250 Honda clone--I...
Hi Gary, Sorry to hear about the mishap and glad you're okay. Often times, on short trips around town, I loose the helmet. Your accident makes us reconsider...
I was out yesterday too - bringing the scooter to the shop for the winter - it was cold and raining and yes I was freezing.... But I had the same fear of...
Hi guys, Thanks for the comments. I am getting spark, but cannot tell how strong. I think I will pull the plug and see if it does bridge the gap. I guess I can...
I verified spark by pulling the plug and watching it arc across the gap. I checked the timing with a light and the FIRE mark and it seemed pretty close....
looks to me like you set the carb right to start it. Have you checked the carb for a pluged port. some of those ports are pretty small and not easy to...
Gary, Yes, I have had the back tire slide right out from under me too. The stock tires are high speed racing type tread, and NOT designed for riding in wet...
