I know some guys order from vbx.com. I try to keep four crank bearings at a time lying around. Yup, it is nice to be able to have spare parts on hand for when you need them. If these bearings were not krap I would have 3 sets ready to go.

WoW! The shock I ordered way back finally came yesterday. I got it installed on the Zip tonight, but could not test ride very far due to the rain. I almost dumped it on the test ride! I have been riding on the front of the seat due to the bad shock, I moved to the back of the seat and hit the throttle way too hard and pulled the front wheel way off the ground very unexpectedly.
I also resealed the airbox to carb hose where it enters the airbox. I hope that will fix the bog I recently developed just off idle, otherwise I guess I will pull the carb and give it a good cleaning.

I got motivated for some reason after work today. I got the motor pulled from zip so I can split the cases and replace the crank bearings. I also went through the gearbox because the gear oil was rough looking, and the gearbox has been getting a little hotter than it should. Everything was perfect, and I found the cause of the heat and dark oil. Apparently I had the back brake just a little tight and it was dragging slightly.

Do you happen to know the gear ratio on the zip? Is it 10.3:1 like the tritons?

The gears I pulled out of a Vento Zip parts scoot were 11:1 like Moofus mentioned.. I'm running them in my (96cc) scoot and getting 60 mph at 8200 RPM (with a modified vari also) A pretty good ratio!

Ya but that's in the adly 90 right? Longcase with shortcase gears and 12 inch wheel.
