The radio sucks but a MP3 works a lot better.

My two cents. I went to sliders from rollers on my 150cc and I could feel a better take off and I think a better top end. Now I have a 250 54B and ordered sliders for it. When I removed the cover on the variator I couldn't even see the rollers. There was so much grease in there the rollers could never roll slide or do anything. Now without all that crap in there my 250 runs way better then it did before. I watch my tach more as I can tell when I hit 4200 rpms I am doing between 45-50 and getting a nice smooth ride.

If any one wants to know if 45w bulbs work the answer is yes. Installed 2 front 45w 45w BA20 D base bulbs. No excessive heat on the sockets or on the lens covers. BTW purchased at Bulb City.

scooterran, Good going on finding the right size bulbs. Now the fun starts. Amazing how 2 light which you can easily reach with your hands requires so much time to change. Good luck and just take your time.

Cruiser I'll have it by Tuesday and will give it a try. Never knew a hard drive would work too. As far as the cost being high, I'll admit I have no clue to the cost of magnets and how strong they need to be to work. If this one works I'll be a happy camper. I run into 3 light on my trip to work and hate waiting since the lights are not on a timer.

Most cycle shops don't carry 35w halogens nor do the auto supply stores. If you have a 54 A or 54B the bulb base is a BA20 D. I've ordered 45w headlights.

Ever try to make a left turn at a traffic light and you are the only one there. Well here in SC you can run over the left turn signal activator and nothing happens. Not heavy enough so you wait and wait and hope another car comes behind you to trip the light switch. Well I ordered one of these www.helmetheadcycle.com/product/3696/green-light-trigger-hp today and will give it a shot and report back. A few of the roads I travel on have little traffic, and if there isn't a car in front of me or in back of me I sit and wait or take a chance and make that left. If this magnet works I'll know it right away as I have the perfect light to test it on. |

I ordered them from the first site you had listed. There were in the USA and I wanted them faster then from coming from China.

Yes, I received the halogen lights but they were dirty and I didn't want to install them and put everything together and have them blow out a few days later. So I went out and purchased two 35w 35w bulbs since the OEM's were only 25 W not 35 as stated. Brighter but not bright enough. So once again I ordered 2 45w45w bulbs from Bulb Town. Not at all looking forward to taking the front end off again. Who ever designed this scooter was a moron. You can do anything on it without stripping it all down. Most of the members here are handy, but if you are not handy you are out of luck.

scooterran, I hate to be the one to tell you, but there is no way in hell you can change your headlights or blinkers without removing the windshield and the front plastic. Changing the rear lights is a piece of cake as you only have to remove two nuts and pull the panel out. There seems like there is about 20 screws and 4 nuts you have to remove to get the front cover off.

Your spark plug cover looks suspect to me. It needs to be tight as you will lose spark with a loose cover. You will certainly lose speed with a loose spark plug wire.

scooterran Take a look at post #25 I have pictures of the new headlights compared to the old ones. There were 25w bulbs in it and the halogens I purchased were all gummed up so I went out and purchased 2 35W bulbs and installed them since I had the front completely off. I still want the Halogens but the 35w bulbs are a major improvement over what I had. I can see a lot further down the road then before.

I guess they put the same plate on all the scooters they make. I was more worried about the two nipples with no hoses on them. I didn't want to be sucking non filtered air into the carb.
