Hi guys im jesus i just joined ur site and cant wait to learn from the years of experience on this site. My scoot is a 2006 Diamo tracer 150 gsx. It was given to me free of charge by my lil sis. Needed a carb and battery and started right up. The odometer reads 714 miles and judging by the condition of the valves and piston i believe it to be true. So far ive stripped the body off for a full color change..was black/red/silver..i am painting all panels flat black..i purchased a new 24mm carb and a ncy intake manifold (red rubber). I made a custom cold air intake out of a piece of exhaust tubing and a small section of the original intake hose. Shes running very lean now and i am gonna try to move to needle before i buy any jet upgrades. Future plans include a 180cc bbk, exhaust, cdi/coil (ncy of course) variator and clutch upgrade.Let me know what u guys think..i will post more pics when i reduce the size of them.they are too large to upload and after i throw the body back on..oh yeah i also lowered it one inch in front..painted front shocks black and replaced some screws and bolts with stainless steel ones.

As far as Bashan goes, I'm beginning to think that for him, the less plastic you have on a scoot the better it is!!! Oh, wait, so do I... Don't put the plastic back on!!! LOL |

a friend and i were also diggin the naked..."rukus" look...after all the time im putting into painting the panels it would be a shame not to use them..ive heard flat black scuffs easy so maybe after a year of riding it i might strip it down and try the naked look  |

Well if they break down a lot and you do not have a trailer. Not a good thing if it rains and your out on the road, all the wires and connectors getting wet, hot motor and cold water... Not my scoots full dress only
Magoo - we all know how the Chino wire connectors and wiring is... No way
