Hi everybody
I’ve been fortunate enough to pick up some good deals on scooters and acquired 2 non runners but in decent condition.
I’d post pictures but I don’t see the option.
The BWS I purchased for $500 cnd was stolen and recovered. It was dropped and ignition switch removed. The gas tank had a thin layer of rust which blocked the filter. Once that was fixed she was good to go. Got a switch and some replacement plastic and it looks brand new.
The Hyosung Prima was $0 cnd. It’s weird as it didn’t run at first but when I charged the battery it ran no problem. Kicks over fine with no battery now. Not sure why the initial charge would make it start but fires up fine now with or without the battery. Could also be because I cleaned all the connectors.
Anyways, I’m planning on leaving the BWS stock ( I got an extra motor so may play around with it a bit but not for awhile.) The Prima I was gunna give to my step dad but a wanted to mod it a bit. I don’t want to spend more than $200 so wondering what the best way to around this is. Would the best way to go be to modify the CVT? I have a spring and weights for a GY6 but haven’t checked if it will fit yet. Are there any other restrictions that need to be addressed before any major mods? I hear the air intake is very narrow. Should I get a new exhaust if I modify the intake? Maybe best money spent would be exhaust/ weights/ clutch spring? I believe there is a washer to take out in the CVT. I also believe the CDI mod is already done.
Sorry more all the questions I don’t expect them all or any to be answered just more excited to get experimenting. Anyways have a great day!
