What's up guys. I'm Jimbo but my user name is Hells Pigeon because that's what the guys at my work call me. I just got my used scooter off Craigs List. I'm not really sure if it's the decent scooter, but I'm not afraid of a little elbow grease and decided to take a chance on my Motobravo 150. I like it so far. The guy before me changed the breaks so that it has disc brakes on the front as well as the back. The stock carb was swapped out for a Mikuni. The stock handle bars were swapped for a straight bar instead of the little Y bar. The guy I bought it from said it was originally a 50cc and then he put a 150 in the scoot for more power but I'm not familary with these machines so I couldn't tell really tell; however, I'm a big guy (240lbs) and it moves pretty good. the speedo was taken off to accomadate the different handle bars but I think I get up to like 35-40, not really sure to be honest. I think he said that the cdi was changed as well ( I don't really know what that is either) and he gave me a box with the stock parts he took out and some extra goodies. So far it runs well. The only real issue I have right now is an electrical problem ( I've heard that's a common issue with a lot of scoots); the head light only comes on when i'm rolling down the street and I have to pull the break lever. But I like my little scoot, and I'm hoping to find some time this week to look it over thoroughly.  |

Love the flat black. Where are the front signals? The fan cover is missing. Is the engine cover as well? You need that to avoid overheating. Get that on ASAP! A matching front fender over the tire would look nice.
Look on the left side for an engine stamp but 35-40 is 50cc territory.
Also repost this on your own thread so more people see it and offer ideas.I think it will get buried in this one.

Won't a couple pigeons fit on your fancy bbq grill? Any one who eats komoto should love them.
