What not to Buy

LOL. Misread that. Thought you said it was doing 50 kilometers per hour before, and that it was doing 160 kilometers per hour now... That would put you at just about 100 mph...

I don't know if I can get it going that fast dropping it from a plane! LOL

I can see the headline now. "Worlds first D1E41QMB to break 100 Miles per Hour *".

* ejected from plane at 12,000 feet, your results may vary

Let me see if I can do the math. 160 Km, it is a 2005, so that's 5 years.
so 160/5= 32 KPY as in Km per Year. Pretty slow average speed. hehehe

So what kind of oil goes in the chain drive and how much?

I want to be able to change the oil on one of those should the need arise again.

Thanks

If you look at the first picture you posted:
The fill hole it at that black cap (top back). The drain is directly below the fill hole on the bottom of the case.
Oil should be 10w30 or 10w40. Anything heavier and the scoot will have a slower top speed.
There are two screw holes in the center of the cover. The lower is the one you take out and once oil comes out of it, you have enough oil.
Too much oil will slow the scoot down too.
I was told 350mL, but I ended up using more and I don't know if it was because I had opened it and changed the gasket.

Thanks for that.

I feel bad for this guy. Called him and asked a little about it, then finally told him it just wasn't for me. Says he can jump start it, but it won't stay running. No one will work on it, and he just wants to get out of it. I remembered this thread, and that's what made my decision. Probably could have talked him down. Sucks for him...

Broken kick starter, disconnected air box, broken floor board and rear brake handle. Key is very rough to turn, and the seat doesn't lock down...

Found another. Very very poor quality scooter. Switches feel like something off a fisher price toy. All the plastic is VERY brittle, and it's pretty ugly as well. Went and checked it out because I'm off work right now. Another person I feel terrible for. A young woman just about to enter Art school (very expensive) and has no way around town. She wants $200 for it, and I'm sure thats less than what she payed for it. It's just shame that it's not even close to being worth that. I had to offer her $80. Even at that price I'm not sure I want it I'm working on buying it to sell to a co worker, and I don't want to end up having to keep it and it being a worthless heaping pile sitting under the porch.

Amazingly it only has 44 miles on it. Goes to show how long these things last...
