Hey, 90GTVert . I found my rear brake issue, why they do not work. So I took off the rear wheel and swaped drum brake pads and replaced the cabel. Still, the rear brake does not work. The reason why is shown on the picture, marked with red area. This bottom brake pad cam is so stuck, that I had to use pipe wrench to turn it. I need to take the scoot to workshop and let these mechanics fix that problem. I can´t ride with only front brakes. First I will try to use penetrating oil, to get this cam to move freely. If that does not help, then I will replace all parts including that cam.  |

Hey, 90GTVert .The bottom drum brake cam was rusted stuck. It was an workout, to get that old cam off. Then I greased the new cam and installed all parts back, with new brake cable handle. Noe the rear brake is working again. The plan was to make a video about that simple job, but I forgot my camera home. The list to do the job: 1. Take off the exhaust (2x 10mm nuts and 2x 12mm bolts on the support frame) 2. Use 24mm socket and open the nut for rear wheel 3. Remove the wheel. 4. Remove the brake pads.  5. Use 8mm socket to remove the bolt fixing the rear brake cable handle 6. Remove the rear brake cable and put the spring and nut over the cable end, so you du not loose the parts.  7. Then use penetrating oil to loose the rusted lower cam. And use crowbar to push the cam out or pipe pliers to turn forward and backwards by pulling same time, to get cam out his seating hole. 8. Clean the hole and bushing and grease the new cam and the bushing. 9. Push the new cam to the hole and same time place the handle for cable, to other side of the hole. 10. Push the handle to grooves on the cam. 11. Use the bolt and 8mm socket to fix the handle to cam. 12. Reinstall the brake pads, wheel with 24mm nut and the cable to the handle. 13. Reinstall the exhaust with 2x 12mm bolts and 2x 10mm nuts. 14. Adjust the rear drum brake, do a test ride and adjust brakes near rear wheel again if nessesary. JOB DONE! |

Took the scoot for a test ride and tried out the rear brake fix. It was around 0 or -2 degrees Celsius. Yeah, little bit cold for riding, but I had to test ride. Now the brakes are working fine. Now here is small clip about fast stop:

I had rubbing effect, while I was riding the scoot. Felt like the belt ore tire was rubbing against something. I took the variator cover off and inspected the stuff under it. Belt was ok, but the roller weights on variator had flat spots. So I i installed all the parts back, where tey were and went to bike shop. I brought an Naraku roller set. Swapped out the old not rounded 6g weights to white 5g ones. There is delay, when I get going from standstill. Now I need to tune the variator - maybe the 1st combination is between 5g and 5.5g weights. I think I will try to use the 6g ones too.  |

Yesterday, I tried 50/50 ratio with 5g and 6g weights, the acceleration from standstill is still slow, about 3 seconds.

Hey 90GTVert . I encountered an wierd sound on my scoot, that went away later. What could be the cause of that sound? |

Running rich or an ignition issue maybe? Could be something as simple as weather throwing it off. Like if it were really humid or hot it may run a little rich. Loose connection somewhere with an ignition component?

Hey, 90GTVert ! I found the problem, that I had. Today I drove 50% way to work and the same problem came back. I pushed my scoot, the other 50% of the way to work. I had a full tank of petrol too. So that was an workout for me at the morning. The sun was shineing and I did not have my waterbottle with me. When I reached work, I found out the problem. Magneto has a big white connection, one separate black wire and one blue wire. The last one was loose. I fixed the wire and now the scoot is working fine. Why I did not check this wire an the road? I was tired, and I did not think to check it. |

Yeah! Here is a video about that problem, before I found it  . When I ride to work, it takes about 12 min. But in that video - about 45min. I fast forwarded the video few times and then I shut down the camera to save battery. |

One day, I almost crashed into a car, because I was tired. It all happened in front of cops.

It happens. I woke up doing about 75 on the highway with the TMAX during a late night ride not long ago. Think I only fell asleep for a second or less, but it's not cool at all. Hard enough to stay out of trouble when we're wide awake.
