I tried to remove my flywheel but the flywheel puller would not thread in. I am sure it is the right size (27mm). It feels as though it may be the wrong thread pitch. A guy at my work suggested trying out some lights called PIAA. Any thoughts? So needless to say, I have not made any progress so far, but this weekend should prove productive.

[On my scooter, I think the reflector is of bad design. The light is distributed in a hap-hazard manner. Is this what you mean by "poor optic design"? If so, where would find a better housing? Yes, the reflector design on my scoot is useless. I am afraid that if I simply put an HID bulb in the current housing the results will not be that great. Adding a new housing will be neccesary, but I have not found anything that will work yet. Any suggestions? Here is a pic of my scoot for reference, it's the one on the left.  |

I have been looking at the local auto parts stores and have found the LED's and a buddy gave me a stator to try out of a totaled scooter. I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks for all the info. I think the main problem with the headlights on my scoot is a poor optic design so I am going to try and use a new housing. I looked at HID lights on ebay and that does seem like the most bang for the buck. I only need the lights to last for an hour, so maybe I can just hook the battery up to a float charger every night and I will change out to LED lights for the blinkers and tail/brake lights. I will post the results as I go!

I am going to try and add halogen lights to my scoot so I could actually see at night. My question is this: If I get an 11 pole stator do I also need to get a new rectifier? If so, what kind? If anybody has a better idea I would love to hear it. Perhaps HID lights would work out better?
Thanks for the help.

The dark red scoot is a Xingyue and has been pretty reliable it has 2,000 miles. The red one is a Tomos and only has about 500 miles on it. The Tomos is made by SYM in their Chinese factory and the quality is O.K. but it is definately Chinese. |
