The clutch has about 2000 miles on it and worked fine until I took the flywheel and stator plate off for repair. I had a very difficult time getting the...
Your clutch is just stuck. Start the scoot and warm it up. Shut it off and then push start it. Get it into second gear, pull the clutch in and then rock the...
I am addicted to whitewalls, but high priced Conti tires are killing me. Has anyone tried the Shinko tires? how was the experience? Oops, its warm out, gotta...
Sound like a worn out pressure plate and thrust bushing or actuating pin whatever you want to call it , American scooter center has it in a kit form for $9.00...
Push starting should always be a last resort that's how you break teeth off the spring gear (christmas tree) I have a box full of them most from people push...
I use 80w90 gear oil in my Vespa trannies. Much, much better than non- detergent 30 weight and no problems. If the engine is thoroughly warmed up, push...
Well do you performance or looks? Because most whitewalls are crap until Coker starts making 3.50x10's or 3.00x10's for Vespa's which could happen one day...
What type of bikes are you running 80/90 in ? When I raced Smallframes in the mid 90's guys using gear oil were burning up clutches all the time, To thick and...
there are different standards for measuring the oil viscosity, I was told that 30W non detergent that listed in the old manuals is almost same as 75/85 Honda...
Vespa smallframes and largeframes. Too many bikes to count, no troubles. Racing is not a good benchmark for road use. I am pretty anal, so I think I do change...
funny that, 30w being mineral and all... ;) heh heh i run 30w in all my bikes, quite a few miles on them too...i do g/box oil changes around the 2000-5000...
Hi Guys, Just wanted to report on the fix for the archives. I just rebuilt and checked out a couple of things. I replaced the float needle with my old one...
Yes a multi-oil will eat a seal, most of the time from over filling and very high RPM's , And yes I agree most of the time my oil is as clean as it goes in but...
Hi - i'm trying to install an aftermarket exhaust on my 73 Primavera and wondering how to do it? I mean how do I access the exhaust manifold bolts at the...
I think the motor needs to come down, take the rear wheel off by removing a center nut and hub, see if you can sneak the elbow out, if not remove the carb from...
Yeah drop the rear is the best unless you have some small M7/11mm wrenches its real tight. But for to really get that gasket set good drop the engine down and...
Thanks for the responses! After a bit of digging around online, http://www.smallframes.com/ has a section to upgrading the exhaust in the Technical section of...
Why don't you skip the bolt-on cylinder upgrades and go straight to a 125 or 135cc kit? this would mean changing the crank to a 125cc crank and all the other...
Can everyone please post pics of the battery box cut-outs? I'm trying to fit a Zirri pipe and was thinking of leaving part of the battery box intact. Also,...
Cutt it all out makes things easy to work around but be sure to file it smooth or you will cut yourself very bad wear gloves, I use a air driven cutting tool...
only 63-65 smallframe motors have the small spigot (57mm). if i am not mistaken, all 66 and later motors have a 63mm spigot. ________________________________ ...
i don't know if any of you guys are in my area, but i thought i would post this any way. our local scoot group is having a swap meet this weekend on the 9th....
The Zirri down and forward has a big hole in the midrange. Not a good choice for an around town scoot. The Leo/Polini banana is actually a pretty good pipe:...
