Ok Sprocket are you psychic as well as great at scooter repair? Did a complete inspection and found the inside spring on the center stand had come loose. Didn't realize there were two springs. Had my preteen sons help with the repair great bonding time. Noise is gone thanks Sprocket and Alley for all the help.

Ok worked on it today. Pretty sure its in but still getting a grinding noise at higher speeds and climbing hills. Now I'm thinking rooller out of place or a clutch spring loose. Haven't been able to check because I don't have an impact wrench. May have to wait till I can buy one.

Ok thanks for the help. Is there an easy way to ensure I have it lined up right? I don't have a lot of experience with these this is my first scooter.

Well I have a problem. I took a low speed spill on the scoot a week or two ago. No real damage I thought. Lost a mirror and had some scratches. Now though when I hit over 30 mph I start to hear a pulsing grind from the cvt. I think the small gear above the variator may be rubbing on the gear face of the variator. This is a 50cc Sunny clone short case. I think I have the picture attached of the scooter now.

So had a little spill this week. Hit a large pot hole and tipped the scoots at low speed. Lost the left mirrors glass and a little paint. However the shock of hitting the hole seems to have knocked the speedily crooked on the axle or the axle may be bent. The wheel doesn't seem to wobble and no weird vibrations, but speedo is definetly crooked. Any way to verify that's it without removing wheel and axle?

So I have the motor on my new 50cc Chinese gy6 clone broken in. I had to adjust the idle because it started stalling at stoplights. I have heard that the low speed mix is set very lean on these. Should I adjust this also? If so how do I get the cap off that is covering the screw?

I just bought a mc-jl8 50cc 4t. New to adopters but enjoying the ride. I use it for commuting to work during the warmer months. Looking to increase take-off and top speed a little. What's the most bang for my buck. Right now everything is stock. About 120 miles on it.
