We know who you were talking about. Get with the program, this thread is about what type of oil to use, not about how smug you think you are. Alley's comment about using what you want is really the most definitive.

Are there frequent posters that use the forum to amuse themselves at the expense of others by spreading incorrect information?
I think you know who that is. Tub Boy up there.^^^^^^^^^^^ |

Not normal. Did you look at the brake pads? If they're not inexplicably worn out the surface might have picked up something that's grinding into the disc. I would check the rotor for signs of something carving into it, take out the pads and lightly sand any glaze off. Also, believe it or not, checking the routing of the speedometer cable. It might be binding under front end compression. Been there, fixed that.

My hobby is fixing stuff when I have to. Scooters, motorcycles, cars, bicycles, lawn tractors. Now I write a blog and take videos.

Rocket has the same size battery. It gets stuffed in the frame wrapped in all kinds of wires and connectors. I laughed the first time I saw it.

You forget to put the sidestand down and start to get off and the scooter starts to fall on you.

That converts to 5772.3 miles. Still a respectable amount for a 3 cubic inch engine.

Don't know. The easiest way to find TDC is to remove the spark plug, stick a pencil in the hole and rotate the crank a few times back and forth until the pencil sticks out the most. Then look at those marks and you'll have your answer. I would say the timing is still off. The banging is the engine telling you how unhappy it is that the valves are opening and closing at the wrong time.

Run a continuity test. They can break without looking like it.

Fuse broke in the fall?

I had a ferocious leak on my 1P57QMJ engine for a couple of years. Finally I took off the plastic fan shroud, cleaned every thing off and started it. You can only let it run for a short time like that but if the oil leak is that bad, you'll see where it's dripping from. As I've posted ad nauseum I had cracked the head when I overtightened the small bolts adjacent to the cam tunnel.  I had to replace the head and the head gasket for a laughable $50. But I digress. Baring the engine and looking for the source of the leak is the only definitive way to find it unless you're lucky and can find it without removing the shroud. |

It's not that we're picking on him. He's propagating the myth that Chinese scooters are junk and it's not so. My retorts are only because there are almost 1,000 visitors here a day. Some might actually believe him, spend excess cash buying something "Brand Name" because of it, needlessly. A Chinese scooter either from a dealer or well prepped out of the crate will give you years of enjoyment. My signature's mileage notations are testament to that. I ride as many miles a year as he does and he lives where you can ride year round. I have almost six to seven months of winter. It's 28* as I speak. So what does that tell you about how good his Morphous is?
I'll stop when he stops.

Way too many favorite moments to list here. I'd have to write a book.

Please.. originally $10,000, their price $7000, and will sell it to me for $3000. Looks nice, but that is just "Crapvertising". Even if it is a great scooter at the $3000 price, the over inflated "original" price would make me look elsewhere. If they are going to lie to me in the ad, I gotta figure they will lie about everything else.. I only post the picture of this to rankle Luke. This company is very low on my list of reputable firms. There have been way too many stories about them. They are Sunny Sports-now. They used to be SunL, the company Luke foolishly bought his 50cc scooter from, and Massimo, which has disappeared. I'm well aware of Yamahas ability to build quality units but even they make mistakes. Something Luke has denied since he started this fracas. I have said it before and I'll say it again. A good owner is worth an extra 100,000 miles on anything. Luke knows how bad an owner he is so he trailers the Morph. And if it will make you happy, here. www.superiorpowersports.com/300cc_gas_scooter_p/sn300sc-e.htmThey claim a ridiculous MSRP of $6600. about the OTD price of what a Morph would be today. Hyperbole is the name of the game in online sales. These guys I would trust though. |
