Have not had a chance to drive in the dark. I still have not got my papers to register yet. Just a quick spin around the block. I have a couple of quick things left to to. Get the trunk mounted get my GPS mount on then put the windshield on.
As far as the mod goes the the Stock bulbs are 35 WATT These are 55/60WATT They are brighter and will be hotter than the stock. They will draw more current than the Stock that is why I am gong to be doing the LED Rear light conversions to compensate for the extra draw.
If I had the extra cash I would do the HID conversion but for now this going to have to do.
As far as cost goes I went with the Sylvania Xtream light they are $19.95 at Walmart. They are alot whiter than the standard $8 bulb.
The 3 prong sockets were $4.99 Each at O'Reilly Auto. All in all a Cheap Mod for MORE light.

Ok Here is my Headlight MOD. will start with the Stock bulb socket compared to the 9003/H4 Bulb base. They are perfect match.   Cut Wires and splice in new 3 prong socket. Soldered and heatshrinked  9003 installed in scooter. Let me just say the way the bulbs mount on these scooters SUCKS. I was running really late last night or I would have take a picture of the mod I did to that stupid metal clip that holds one side of the bulb spring holder. I drilled 2 small holes in it to take the place of the little slots made it tons easier to install the bulb.  I still have to put the windshield on but I need to decide how to mount my GPS bracket before I put that on. I did get it fired up and took it for a spin around town. Wow compared to my 125 this is so freaking nice. Tons of power. Cant wait till It is all broke in so I can open it up a bit. |

Yeah I was thinking something like that on the radio/mp3 side since they Sell the version with MP3. I know I did not take it off of anything and no plug to mate it to. I numbered all of the plugs that I took apart.

Thanks guys on the encouragement I am sure glad I did do the PDI even though getting the 3/16" line is a pain in the BUTT. Couple of things I have noticed one Metal Shavings in the Oil Man glad I dumped that CRUD. Number 2 the upper radiator line at the bend had the spring around to keep the line from kinking was smashed in and the LINE was KINKED almost shut. Bike would have over heated for sure running it like that. Before  I cut out the bent spring. After  The other thing I noticed that I did not like was that same line sits rubbing against the motor mounts. I figured if I left it go it would rub a hole in my radiator hose. So I came up with a solution for that by taking a piece of hose slitting it down the middle then cable tying it around the hose where the mount was rubbing.  from the top  I will post some more pictures when I get my Headlight mod done. Hope to get that done tomorrow. Replacing out the sockets that came with it and the crappy bulbs that you can only order online with 3 wire headlight socket and 9003/H4 bulbs. Not only will it make it easier for getting bulbs but will give me more light for the early morning commutes. |

Well I am on the fuel Lines. This pic shows the Fuel Line it is just above the Water line. cut a piece off and checked with Caliper came out to about 3/16"  This pic shows the fuel line after it comes out of the tank going over to the fuel pump with the filter. and it still looks 3/16" there.  |

Ok Got my new Scoot Now working on doing a PDI. One major problem.
FUEL Line. Where can I get good 3/16" fuel line and Filters.
Seems that the autoparts places around me only carry 1/4" fuel line and filters.
I am already doing a Major change when it comes to the Headlights. Getting away from the NON American bulb and changing out the bulb sockets to put in Standard 9003/H4 bulb.
Which remindes me is there anyplace that has a Jonway YY250T Wiring diagram?
Thanks,
Todd
