Any reason you didn't just order the halogens I posted from the reputable scooter site? 45w is getting into some decent power consumption and higher heat; still an incandescent bulb.

Warm. It takes no time at all.

Same engine, just on a buggy:

I'm sure there would be no issues, I just don't see any benefit in the extra $ your spending on that oil. There's nothing even in it that applies to our scooters. It's not going to hurt anything though.

Call me a skeptic, but I have a hard time believing that an oil type is going to have any discernible impact on engine idle/high rpm, or in how the scooter runs in general. Perhaps better wear protection, sure, but I can't imagine how an oil, of the same weight, is going to have any impact on engine operation. The engine doesn't have a brain you know, "Hey there, i've got myself some fancy motorcycle oil!" There's the weight, and the additives. The additives are what differentiates a motorcycle oil from a car oil. Those additives shouldn't have any affect on normal engine operation. In fact it doesn't really even make sense; the additives added to that motorcycle oil have no purpose in our scooters, as that oil isn't going anywhere else other than the engine (not the case for motorcycles).

If I'm off base please let me know; I'm certainly not an expert in the subject.

He's referring to something such as this (be sure to also see link under [EDIT 2]:

cgi.ebay.com/HALOGEN-SCOOTER-MOPED-HEADLIGHT-12v-35-35w-BULB-BA20D-/280497461381?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414ef39885

That's a generic brand; we used to have a site that carried a name brand version of it but I can't recall where. I'll do some digging.

Basically you just need to search for a halogen bulb with the BA20D base.

Here's a better quality version of the first Halogen I posted. This is the one you want. A tad bit more expensive though:

Xenon version (the looks of this one, the filament anyway, is almost identical to the 35/35 projector style I currently have. Perhaps those and "Xenon" are one and the same?:

Wow, a few of us are VERY similar:

My hardcore hobbies:
-Bass Fishing
-RC Car racing or just bashing my nitro monster trucks around
-RC flying - particularly into 3d style flying. Own a 540 edge, showtime 3D, Rector Bipe, and a few jets.

Other hobbies I'm pretty into:
-Fresh (African Cichlids) and Saltwater aquariums
-Gaming; PC mostly

For the record, the link to the Linhai stator that JR posted will not work in the CFMOTO engine. I received an email from our man at Oregon Motorcycle parts and he is quickly losing interest in re-winding these stators because he saw a post stating that there was already a better stator for our engines (correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that's the case).

Lets make it clear how much we'd appreciate his services to re-wind our stators
