tomorrow I plan on hooking up the battery, and then the whole scoot is fully put back together. I also want to drain the gas tank and flush it out then refill with fresh gas & oil. Also gonna spray those faded side panels flat black! And call the dmv to see what I have to do if I change the color of the scooter.

The title to my original Baccio VX50 scooter said it was red. The previous owner switched the body plastics to TaoTao Evo 150 ones that were silver (In the end it ended up black haha). I asked at the DMV (Tax Collector) office when I transferred the title into my name about the color change and the lady kinda blew it off as if it were no big deal. She never did change the color on the title and I eventually sold it as black but it still said red on the title...

Thanks niz, I'm gonna take every precautionary measure I can because if I get pulled over for driving a green scooter, and he title says red, and they look at the vin on the scooter, I'm screwed!!! Hahaha

49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/506/make-2t-leak-tester-waysAfter all the work I did to get the top end sealed properly, I still only have 90psi. I am gonna check my squish clearance and try a different head. I took her for a test run last night, very sluggish from the start but picks up to about 35-40mph. This thing was better with the 50cc kit. I am also gonna pick up parts to make a leak tester. Wish me luck!!!

Had a nail in my front tire thing needed replaced it was so dry rotted so I guess I'm glad it got a nail in it before it gave out doing 40mph Will a 120/70-12 fit fine on a 12x2.50 inch rim??? I had a 100/60-12 before in it

A 12" tire will probably fit a 12" rim......

It'll prob fit on the wheel, but some of those models with narrow tires also have narrow forks so it would be wise to check clearances before getting a bigger tire. I went from 120/70-12 to 120/80-12 on my Triton and just because the tire is taller it put it closer to where the fork seals are and made clearance tight. You'd have a taller and wider tire.

As far as fitting rim ya should be ok , i recently went from 90/90-12 to 130/70-12 & it works (rear) & put a 120/70-12 on fromt which was 90/90-12. The spacing on the scoot is where you gotta be careful. Anyone need a barley used mile pair of 90/90-12" tires? Lol.

Haha I would but the local shops got a bee rubber tire for 50$ and parts for scooters has it marked at 46.99 before shipping so I figured I'd get that unless you can beat that price including shipping

Well, over the weekend I had this idea to put my high compression head on, I threw it on, got 130psi. Was like hell yeah!!! So damn stoked. Fired her up, constant knocking sound. Took her apart, figured maybe piston rings weren't compressed properly, before I took cylinder off I noticed an O on the crown of the piston, looked at the head and its a damn 50cc head I'm pretty sure so I threw the original head on, and damn still only 80psi. Although I did get my new valve stem on the front rim and tire on and installed on the scoot. I also painted the front forks black.

You can possibly run that 50cc head if you use a 70cc head gasket. I've noticed cylinders with the squish set up nice and tight- like .6 to .8mm- usually have pretty high compression for me0 like around 150 psi. I usually squirt about 3-4 drops of 2t oil into the cylinder while holding throttle wide open and then kick and kick the kickstart until the compression doesn't go up anymore... I bet that 50cc head with a 70cc head gasket would get you in a pretty good range!
