I put that K764 on and just forgot about it, I figured I'd get at least what I got out of the K320. Just glanced at it the other day, and I thought ? I've got 1600 miles on this tire, and I have to start planning on getting another one. This thing didn't last at all. I think I'll try a Shinko next.

What model? If it's a Helix clone like Qlink or Fashion, just find what a Helix uses.

Got my tire, date code June, 2017, excellent! got it on today. Turns out, the tire that was on there was a 110/90-12. Don't know why, there is a guy on YouTube that says that is the right size for a Helix/clone. All the documentation I can find, including the manual for my clone, says 110/100-12. That's a 10% difference in tire profile. My speedometer read 3-4 mph high, according to those speed signs on the road. With this new tire, the speedometer is dead on. I don't know why some people think the 110/90-12 is the right tire for this bike, they're wrong. Love the tire, cruises over bumps and imperfections smoother due to the wider radius, and for $40, that's basically half price for that tire.

Just an FYI. If you use this size tire, you know your options are limited and expensive. I just ordered one from Chaparrel on eBay for $39.88, everyone else wants $75 for that Bridgestone ML17A.

This is my story, and I'm sticking to it. I was getting ready to take the scooter out. I usually check the oil before I roll it outside, but today I didn't think of it til I was outside. So I reached down to remove the dipstick. It was awkward and I could see it. So I unscrewed it and when I went to pull it out, I fumbled and the thing went flying into the yard. Well, I broke the tip with the graduations off, that little piece about 3/8" long. I don't know where it went. Either, it went flying somewhere never to be seen again, or it fell down in the engine. So I push it back in and took the truck. When I got home I drained the oil and put an endoscope in there looking for it. I couldn't find it. I refilled the oil and started it up for about 30 seconds. Drained the oil again, still no where to be found. According to the diagram of the engine, the oil pump is the first thing after the screen. So am I right in thinking that nothing gets to the pump without going to the screen first? The filler spout goes somewhere, but I can't see where it goes to. I thought it would just drop to the screen, but it doesn't. So now I'm afraid I'm going to trash my oil pump. Thoughts? mpsracing.net/technical/helix-manual/02-00.htmlThis diagram doesn't show the filler spout. If it's that little cut off just about the screen, it looks like it goes in AFTER the screen, that doesn't make sense and it would be disastrous.

These are water cooled engines, which mean you have a radiator and a reservoir. Look for a small plastic door somewhere in the front. Mine is below the glove box on the center console. How many miles on your scooter? You should change your coolant, since you don't know what's in there. Use only antifreeze for aluminum engines. And for you running issue, the auto choke is a good guess as mentioned by jeh245. They will cause the kind of symptoms you describe.

Yea, it is the size of the engine in cubic centimeters. To ride comfortably at highway speeds (75 MPH) I would suggest at least a 400. My 250cc will do it, but it's maxed out.

I don't know that it won't fit. I think the 250cc setup would be the same, but I don't know. You can buy the clutch separately for about $50. Good luck and let us know what happens.

As for will this fit your Reflex? I can't say for sure. Mine is a Helix clone. I don't know if the Helix and the Reflex are the same as for the engine and drive. I think they are. Does your engine have the vertical cylinder? There are two types, horizontal and vertical. I think the drive is the same for each of these engines, but maybe not between the two types. You might want to call a local shop and ask questions, like will the variator and clutch for a Helix work on a Reflex? Looking at your pics, they look the same.

It's worth it. The belt is cheap,mine started to unravel after a couple hundred miles, but it was still worth it.
