480 miles 14hrs from fayetteville TN to New Orleans LA

Last night when I got off the I-10 I noticed that my bike began to to ride strangely. When my speed drops below 40 MPH It wants to slow its self down furthermore when I take off from a stop it sputters burps and bogs till about MPH then it rides smooth and normal.

I am wandering if something go into my carb jets.

Today I disconnected the fuel line just before the carb to see how the gas comes out from the fuel pump while the bike is running. The gas seems to have pressure kinda of a medium trickle.

I am going to do a vale adjustment but I am unsure that it needs it because it idles fine just does not take off like normal as of last night.

I use this to go to work so any help would be awsome

is that the Fuel pump in the picture?

There is a bearing in the the mount that the engine shaft goes through. This is the mount that the muffler bolts onto. Anyone know how to get that bearing out?

Thank you to all!

Ha ha ha your funny.. looks like we have the same bike.. I left at 430am and got back around 430pm 530pm ish Its was and easy ride I thought. It only took me about 4 fill ups or 7 gallons of gas so 2 fill up`s and one gallon. I hoped on and off the interstate 65 and 59 south but try-ed to catch as much of HW11 as I could. I wanted to take pics but I forgot I packed the camera up in the back of the truck :/ Yeah I really I made the whole trip in one day which was this past Saturday. I had to drive the scoot down because I had a job transfer from TN to LA. I work for UPS :/

All in all I stayed cursing at speeds from 55 to 73 with some room to spare but I knew it was a long hall so I went easy. But if anyone wants to make a long drive like this I would buy the $9 Castro's racing oil.

Thank you for all my readers

Should of seen the looks on those faces on the HW when the scoot was passing them up.

I am closeing on 12,000 miles
E3.36 dimond fire plug
change drive belt at 10k
chaged rollers 8k they look ok 14g
I use Q-horse power Full Syn 5.86 per QT

I added a larger battery and installed a radio

I need a new variator seal any one know ware I can get one.

When I take the cvt cover An pull the belt up and down it's loose an floppy but if I pull the variator off and put it back on the belt gets very tight.

With the belt tight the bike all around fells and runs better

i feel it down shifting around 15 to 18 mph

when I look at the x shaped plate on the variator it's pushed out posibley because one or some of the rollers may have come out but what could cause that?

OK yesterday on my xingyue tbx-260 xy260t-4 I completed a trip from Fayetteville TN 37334 to new Orleans LA 70094 at speeds from 55 - 73mph. I tryed to take HW-11 as much as possible to avoid the interstate but it traversed like a champ.

Before I left I did a run through of checking bearings and greasing ware needed. Varaitor exct. I also purchased castrol Power RS Racing 4T SAE 10w-40 which ran me $18 for just 2 quarts I also replaced the drive belt and rear tire.

Thanks to everyone here who gave me the knowledge to have my scoot running for over 11500 miles and counting.
