Your are the scooter god that CZcams needs but doesn't deserve. Hats off good sir!
LOL Thanks!

evilwar this guy has literally taught me all that I know. I kept my daily driver 50cc running for 3 years had close to 20k miles with no smoke and the engine still runs great! Only everything else is toast... Brakes, tires, crash damage, sticking caliper, electrical... After figuring out cost, time and everything I decided to step up to a 150.
Anyways, nobody knows the gy6 as well as this guy. Nobody has documented all the different configurations by filming and doing them in a scientific manner. You look at other channels and see people doing dumbshit like cutting wires, toothpaste, poking holes in muffler and airbox...
Seriously, he is. I just started riding a scooter because I can't afford a car, and I LOVE learning how to prepare for the worst, because it will inevitably happen. It's an amazing feeling having someone out there to learn from.
thank you soooooo much for taking time and being awesome! straight forward..well spoken ...informative..the list goes on and on. YOU ROCK BRO !
Best scooter videos on the internet! Excellent work sir!
Thank you!
yes he is.
I was on my Vento that day. I was looking for you too. 49ccscoot.com is by far the best forum for all your scooter needs. I have learned so much from these videos and from the people on the forum.
Man I love rewatching your videos, best scooter videos on CZcams! Great work and keep it up
Thanks very much. Thanks for watching and re-watching!
Your kit is for somebody who truly uses his scooter. Great job.
Hey mate, im repairing scooters and i can definitely tell you that impact wrench is amazing thing to have! If not in your scooter - in the garage then! Saves heaps of time. Thank you for your vids
I've got a pneumatic impact wrench at home, just haven't got anything to carry.
oh nah, im talking about cordless one. I have Ozito one (not sure if you have this brand in US) - powerful enough for everything except of taking rear wheel nut off :)

I remember busting belts at 1000 or fewer miles on my scooter. Was using a NCY driven pulley then switched to a stock one and so far has eliminated the problem.
SUBBED!!!!watched 32 of your video's in a row!!looking to get cheap reliable but fun transportation for work and week end fun.love the channel and thank you for all the time and effort put into all of this!!!!
Thanks for subscribing. Glad you're liking the vids. Check classifieds in your area for used top tier scooters like Yamaha, Honda, Piaggio, Vespa to see if you can find a deal before settling into Chinese scooters. As you can see in some of my videos, they aren't always something that you just hop on and ride and forget about other than maintenance.
Carrying only a bicycle air pump and a headlamp can be more practical. Also should include a battery-powered blinky light for safety at night on the side of the road. A quart Nalgene bottle and a way to transfer fuel can help. Spare valve core & tool. (Anti-tampering.) Cable ties can bind-up plastic body panels. SPARE KEY and trick to hide it. Extra oil. (& coolant.) Hand cleaner impregnated on a separate rag in a plastic bag. With no kickstarter, carry two Copper electrodes, a section of bicycle inner tube and some electrical cables. Buy an eight-pack of "D" cell batteries at a convenience store for an improvised jump start.
Look on the inside of cvt cover and on case half for belt rubbing and grind or cut down the areas the belt makes contact, this is done with every scoot I've built and never snapped/broke a belt
I did that long ago and have also done it to other setups. I can't really eliminate all contact at all times without cutting the cover away, but it's not wearing the outside of the belt. It only happens when the belt is at points where tension is insufficient to keep it taught. I can't say I've ever seen a CVT where that doesn't happen at some point.
There is a vid to follow this up, "Belt Busting Update".
Excellent Excellent Excellent I watch every video Keep up the great work
Thanks for watching!
You had an interesting weekend! Great tool kit. The tool you need most is always the one left at home. No cable ties in your kit?
I actually do usually have a couple of zip ties in the bottom of the seat bucket.
I always used to keep an extra length of cable, cant tell you how many times i get stranded with a broken throttle cable, or brake cable
Zenguy good tip.
I've been enjoying your you tube videos I live in Seaford DE
Thanks. I ride around there a bit. Never really learned side roads in that area though, so I can still get lost easy. lol
You forgot the thread locker lol and ur a pure freakin genius tho when it comes to these scooters so wtf am i tellin you that for anyway lol i dont, wont and never will doubt ur work as i follow all of it daily haha
It's not a bad idea, but you have to make compromises with these kits or you'll be towing a 6ft high tool box and an air compressor behind you everywhere you go. Thread locker is not one of those "Just let me make it home" kinda needs IMO.
Very true that would be very unfortunate lugging all of that around but they make very small bottles of thread locker at harbor freight in tiny blue or red bottles that will fit perfectly into your nice little tool kit u got that could and would be a even a good temporary fix until you make it home so you know the nuts and bolts or studs (depending on your quick fix) wont loosen on you and i have read some thread lockers dry faster when heat is applied so it should work internally on certain parts as well as externally on bolts and nuts like usual as well, as long as ur not messy with your dabs of thread lock it shouldn't enter areas you dont want it entering before a nut is on the thread of the bolt
This is why tool kits are personalized. If you've seen under the seat of my 2T when I go to a car show with the tools, belts, wallet, phone, camera, about 20 batteries, and bottles of 2T oil... there's really not room for me to carry anything else. If I need extra clothes for colder nights, I have to strap those to my frame brace because even a pair of gloves won't always fit with that stuff.
I salute you bro. You impress me 👍👍👍👍👍oh, I don't even own a scooter 🤯yet
I am giving serious thought to buying a 150cc scooter. I'm retired and on a fixed income & border line as far as being to afford my car anymore. So I'd be using a scooter to do light shopping & get me to the local cafes & restaurants.
Price range would be $1,400 to $2,000. What would you recommend? Is it only asian scooters anymore? Also, what scooter would you recommend for being able to make repairs on yourself? One reason being that (wanting to make my own repairs) is the cost savings, of course, and the one scoot repair shop around me has a horrible reputation. Both from a technical view (the nature of the complaints) integrity (charges of them ripping customers off) & being slow.
The Chinese and Taiwan made scooters are probably the best if you want to repair them yourself, because most will be the GY6. Lots of info about those online, parts availability is good, and they aren't terribly complicated. Taiwan made being the preference because quality is generally better and you will get better dealer support as well from brands like Kymco and Lance usually. Japanese and European models should be superior machines with more modern technology, but that means they are harder to work on and more expensive. You shouldn't really have to work on them much though and they have the best dealer support.
I would suggest thinking about that stuff and looking into what dealers are in your area. Even if you buy a used Yamaha for example, at least you probably have a Yamaha dealer around for the stuff you can't or don't want to do to the scoot.
This sounds like a good idea only one issue. Keeping a spare belt/rollers and tools needed to do a change. However don't you need an impact to change a gy6 belt? I'm on a stock 150
Not if you have a tool to hold the variator or flywheel.
Im sorry, im a little dense. yes, you are right. Im putting that list together. Had I kept a belt under my seat with the tools that hot ass evening I would have had to walk 4 miles with my scooter... God that sucked. Most of the problems faced on the road seem like quit fixes and with parts that arent heavy or bulky.
Some stuff is worth getting a ride or pushing, but you don't have the option of trying to fix it if you don't have tools. Hardest part for me is convincing myself to carry them.
90GTVert the variator holder tool. Where did you pick that up at? As for loosening the factory nuts on your variator and clutch... Would a cheapy impact work and then put them back on not tightening them down as hard as originally?
I meant an electric impact him from harbor freight
This is the story of my life in the past 13 years of riding scooters. Constant breakdown.....
I was really hoping to see you hit 88 mph and bend time.
Why the f*ck don´t you have more subscribers?
Too much info, not enough fart jokes?
good videos buddy! stop riding over the white line. some ahole will jump out from the right side and youll have no time to react or sway out of the way
What does the torque driver grove mechanism do ? Why can't the rear clutch bell just connect straight to the gearbox
If you had a pulley controlled only by the variator and contra spring you'd have to use a really stiff spring to keep it from opening up quickly. That would be hard to work with and prob hard to find a spring that control it well throughout the speed range without acting like a restriction. The grooves also allow more tuning of the CVT operation.
Do you have any videos on a 150cc tao tao
I've got a few videos from my Roketa 150, but not a lot. All info from that experience is here : 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/14563/2006-roketa-cayman-150-mc
question my 150 is vibrating at faster speeds any idea?
Tire balance is always my first thought. Usually I get a vibration that changes in frequency, centered around a certain speed, if it's a tire issue. This is kind of silly to write out, but as speed increases at some point I feel/hear a wub wub wub... which turns to wubwubwubwub at some point... then if I can go faster it will slow again to wub wub wub before it disappears. Hopefully that makes sense.
Could be lots of things, but that's the most common cause.
yes it does thanks so its not a say variator rollers or engine mount issue? it just started doing it.
well it wasnt the tires it was the missing bolt on the exhaust it must have vibrated off. fuked up when i saw it.i used locktite to hold it on.
You must live close to me
If you're near those areas, then I must.
what frame does ur scooter have?
It's a Vento Triton, but I removed most panels years ago. I cut down the leg shield and battery box area and kept enough of them to shield me from tire spray and route wires. Panel mounts, stock floor supports, and excess junk were cut/ground off of the frame. I welded on 2 sets of foot pegs so I can change positions while riding and they're both lower than the floorboard was for more leg room. The frame brace is an aluminum glass door handle that I bought in a salvage store for $5. I cut it as needed and welded receptacles into the frame so it bolts in. I polished it, but it's been a long time since I maintained that so it's dull now. TNT handlebars and handlebar adapter. All the lighting is in custom steel brackets/plates. Changed locations of some electronics to better shield them from the elements. Fuel tank was modified to hold 2 gallons instead of 1.4 gallons. I added a few inches to the frame behind the tank that lets me use a roll bar mount for a rear camera.
So yeah, Triton frame with a bit of work. Makes a nice naked scoot that's more comfortable and easy to work on and hardly any plastic bits to worry about cracking and breaking.
i also was making a barebone style scooter but then i realized as i had no mudguards it would spray and also the Qingqi Gy6 i got didnt look so good like that but now seeing ur bike im looking into it again.... i was also gona find a bigger tank to mount on floor but havent found anything that fit... but i have modified mine quite much.... if you wanna check out im going by same name on Instagram =)
Yours is similar to my TaoTao. I considered the same treatment for it, but the way some panels match up would make it a little more trouble. I just run no rear plastics, naked bars, have a headlight in a similar setup to yours, and added foot pegs so I can stretch out.
Lots of info and pics of the Triton here :
49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/436/triton-2-t2-89-110cc?page=1
My TaoTao's thread is here :
49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/6365/project-taotao-stroke-experiences-upgrades?page=65
im thinking of adding leg pegs its so gramped XD and the TAO TAO is basicly same with different brand... ill look into those links =) tnx
The pegs are badass IMO. I'm 6ft2 and I can stretch out pretty well just because of positioning them below floorboard level and pretty far forward. As I did it, the floorboard is still intact, so feet can stay there if I need them tucked in or just to change riding positions for comfort.
How did you remove the variator without impact gun ?
Watch 7:55 and 1:18 in the vid. Those show the vari locking tool and you can kinda see me using it. Combined with a ratchet and socket and the small hammer (to tap the ratchet handle if needed) the nut will come loose.
90GTVert Can you give me link for this tool and do they ship it to europe ?
