I have halogen headlight bulbs on my 150 gy6 scooter they work great ,but I've noticed at lower rpms my voltage gage drops below 9volts but only at a idle or low rpm, so far this hasn't been a problem but as the days get shorter and I'm using the headlights more I was wondering if there might be a solution by upgrading the stator output.has any one came across this before or I'm I making a problem that does not exist, so far the battery has been fine cracks the motor over just fine .I'm just concerned I don't want to be out there some where and can't get home because the scooter won't start because the battery is dead.any help would be great.

Bashan THANKS, I have dealt with Walter already I purchased a DR. PULLEY variator and other parts from him and have been very pleased. And your right, he is A good guy, answered all my ?'S and shipped the part a.s.a.p. in fact unique scooter parts was the first place I looked for the a12 cam ( Walter if you read this don't get a big head and make me a liar)so after all this conversation back and forth I now know what cam to use and where to get it and that is what makes this site so useful, good work guys hope you keep it up .because there is a lot of people out there like me that just don't know.but want to know , and want to know the right way.Thanks again (do I go on and on to long)don't answer that ha,ha.later

Bashan Hi again, do you know who makes the cam in the pictures I looked on the internet and lots of suppliers carry the a12 cam ,after hearing all that Pete had to say I want to be sure I'm getting a quality part. or are all performance cams coming from the same manufacturer so it doesn't really matter what suppliers you buy from.I know a cam isn't a really big ticket item to buy, but the time it takes to install one is not something you want to do again 6 months down the line because the cam you end up with was a p.o.s. Thanks again. Bashan cyborg

Hey thanks I'll wait to see if cyborg chimes in before i order. just looking at the cam in the picture it looks like it has a lot more deration and more lift.so if scooter motors are like car motor that means the values are open highter and longer and that makes more H.P. and makes me happy.thanks again you rock.

scoot, Bashan Hi do you know anyone that makes a valve cover that is higher than stock? I have no problem relieving the stock value cove but it would be much easier if this part is already available.also will the stock cam chain work with this cam.and if not will I have to split the cases to install a new cam chain.and that brings up another ? do you have to split the cases to replace the cam chain I'm new to gy6 mechanics so if I sound stupid please forgive me I've read that if you drop the cam chain when you are replacing the head gasket, your really in trouble, I've replaced the head gasket on my scooter and was very careful not to lose the chain to the bottom of the motor.back to the cam you said you used this cam on a bbk I assume that is a big bore kit do you think this cam is compatible with a stock motor? I may go to a big bore kit in the future but not so soon I'm now running a dr.pulley variator with 10gm.sliders 1500 rpm torque spring and 1500 rpm clutch springs also I've upgraded the cdi and coil. The high torque starter sounds like a good up grade even if I never go to a big bore kit. (LoL)I'm going to a big bore kit just a matter of time .so is this cam a good fit or I'm I over camming a stock motor. thanks for your help. you sound like you really know what your talking about and one gear head to another thats what i'm looking for. Thanks again.

I need to replace the seals on my front forks but can't seem to find new seals I've looked on ebay and some of the suppliers the scooter is a 2008 Baji sc 150 w/front disc.brakes also no one can tell me how much fork oil it takes,all they say is measure the amount that comes out when you empty the fork but if the seals are leaking that won't be the true amount.and no one can tell me what weight fork oil to use.I'm stumped I hope someone out there has come across this problem before and can help thanks in advance.
