That sucks. Any idea of the cause?

Not really sure.I put a new one when I did the head gaskets(300km ago).And this engine isnt really revving that high (10k max).My best guess would be that maybe the small end on the crank has worn and the bearing has some play when installed.Will investigate soon.

They just fail, out of nowhere. Forget the idea of a 10pin crank when you're considering something beyond a cast iron sport 70cc kit. Or stick with that cast iron kit and be happy with it.

Hey guys.Me and my friend are having a disscusion about high end scooters.I came here for an answer from "older" scoot geeks.The question is: What is the difference between "Hyper Race" and "High End"?

High-end is just a general term to describe something that is of higher quality than stuff you usually use or need.
'Hyper-race' is an American term to describe a scooter engine that is built with high-end parts. It mostly applies to 70cc-100cc builds. I think it can also apply to a 50cc motor given it's equipped with a very expensive cylinder/exhaust combo like the stuff from Bidalot.
Yours has high-end parts and is therefore a 'hyper-race' build.

My god...my dear god...and i thought Airsal setup was fast...I litteraly sh.t my pants when it poped the front wheel up after just a quick twist of the throttle...sound is also something out of this world...Still,carb tune is way off but hey after seeing how it goes and pulls...dream came true(i'm just so excited) Also, I don't like how low the exhaust comes down

First 200 kilometers done.Ran it up to 113km/h,and still it got more to go.(street was way too short).And if I learned anything,it's that to use locktite on EVERYTHING.What could come loose came...Anyhow it became a fun little scoot

"What a nice day",you would think... Well.... 1.Mount shaft circlip fell out so did the bearing 2.Brake pads went missing(how in the hell) 3.Belt snapped 4.Kickstarter broke Also i think i need heavier rollers because I think its just overrevving. Also Im going to pull the head off to see hows the stuff wearing.
