So, I ordered an exhaust gasket on Monday...It was here when i got home from work on Wednesday! Now it only had to come from Georgia to NC, but that is some fast delivery if you ask me! Thanks ! I highly recommend MonsterGY6!!!

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but anyone with a newer MAC can create a calendar in iphoto and have it made. You pay for it on-line, then it is created to your design and sent to you in the mail. I would think at this point you could take it to a copy company or such and have it duplicated. Hope this helps.

Well,
I am updating this since I have a better grip on my experience now. everyone I spoke to on the phone at Superior was extremely nice. Seemed like my order had kind of been mixed up in the Christmas rush time. However, Once they told me it was shipping the next day, it did. It arrived 4 days later (coast to coast)! It arrived with a flat tire and not wanting to start. They were very nice when I called them about it and wanted to do everything they could to rectify the situation. The tire thing was just the valve stem and the carb just needed adjusting.
The scoot is running strong now. The guy in the service department-Josh, even called me back last week to make sure that I got it running. I thought that was great customer service.
I received my bill of sale and paper to get it titled about a week after I got the scoot.
As a whole, I thought my experience with Superior was great. Just be ready to give it a good PDI. If you order, speak to Emily or Sandy-they were extremely nice and helpful.
Update:
I ride my scoot almost daily, and to this day, it is running strong! I have replaced the oils twice already. The only thing I have had happen is the Exhaust flange bolts came loose and it got really loud for a minute. When I went to check it out, there was no exhaust gasket on there at all. Something i missed when I did the pdi. I put one on and it is as good as new.
I would order from Superior again and I do recommend them.

That video is crazy! Every person in that video was off in "la la land." What or who they were all looking at during the crashes is beyond me....

Well, You guys are right. They did take forever to ship.
kr: "All the above paid links ship cheaply and quickly. Heck one of them shipped a box full of parts to one member, so he could plug and play until he found out what was wrong, and only charged him for what he used, and the cost to ship the rest back. Try that with...well just about anyone else you might order from."
I don't think you could find that anywhere else-period. I should have checked the above links and don't worry, will order anything from them in the future for sure.
Speed,
Yeah, but I ordered them before I sold my 50cc and ordered the new bike. Wasn't going to make the transition quite yet, but everything fell into place. So yeah, they took forever to ship! And now I have to contact them and try to get a refund or a different set, unless someone else wants them for cheaper...
Can't go back and change who I ordered them from, but I can change who I do order things from in the future! I think it is great what the above stores do for scooterdoc people, and it's awesome their all a part of the site and post.
Thanks guys...

Seems like I had missed a good bit o' info around! I have been reading a lot. For what I am looking to do, it seemed the best idea to go with a set of 5g slider weights. I ordered them from www.scootertronics.com/ mainly because they are not far from my NC home, but they had a good deal on the scooterninja slider weights. I know that the guys in the banner up top are good and I will most definitely be visiting them over good ol' cyber space for some parts in the future. Someone said look on Kidnme- it is a very informative site that has a lot of good information. Well, I'll wait, put the sliders on, and I will post again with a ride report afterwards! Thanks for the advice everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on here. I know I am new on here, but this is an awesome forum to be a part of. I am definitely thankful for this forum! Everyone on here is so helpful!
I am not afraid to say what I am thankful for.....I am thankful for every breath I take, for being able to see the beauty in small things that often go unnoticed. I am thankful to have a wonderful family and an amazing wife who is very supportive of my new interest.
And..........
I am thankful for my new scoot!

Thanks, and I agree. I am very thankful for everyone on this forum and glad to be a part of it! I have already learned a great deal by reading and taking apart my scoot.

Daver and Bashan,
Thanks for the comments. They are of great help. They are really cheap too. I was reading that sliders give you that faster take off and top end as well. That with rollers you can lose top end while gaining lower end. Like I said, not too worried about top end while breaking it in but....Sliders seem like the best all around for what I think I am looking for, and budget minded as well. I know Alleyoop had some great words on the subject in another thread as well. I am looking around for the best deal. Will 150cc sliders work in a 50cc as long as they are for a GY6?

Hey guys, Happy Thanksgiving!
I have limited, very limited, funds right now to put into my scoot. I was looking into, roller weights, clutch springs, and torque Springs. I was reading on monstergy6 that the torque springs = "The stiffer the spring, the quicker the throttle response will be at take off." I was also looking at the Velocita Performance Clutch. Non of this is very expensive, but like I said, I have limited funds for the moment.
What I really want is some more torque and acceleration at the take off for now. My scoot is only about a month old, so I am not worried about top end as I am not driving it at top speed anyhow until the break in period is over. It has about 220 miles on it now.
What would you guys recommend for what I am looking to do with little money?
Thanks, and again, Happy Thanksgiving!

I own a Green Earth Scooters 50cc Dash. Probably around 3-4 weeks old. Just got it back on the road again today actually! I had originally picked up a GP9 on Craig's list a while back for $400. I rode it for a week and loved it-had a blast. So I sold it for $500, made a quick $100 and ordered my new scoot. I was looking at a last year's 150cc same body style for the same price but didn't want to mess around with insurance at that time. However, I rode a 150 Hanma (i think) today and loved the get up and go off the bat. It was so much more fun than my 50.....
So short story long...How much do some of you guys pay to insure your 150s? I really think down the road I would like to go that route.
Thanks, Tim

Hey guys... Ok, So you guys should get a kick and a laugh out of this one. The WHOLE weekend I spent trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with my scooter getting frustrated. So today I got up and stripped it down before work and had a guy I found take a look at it as well. You know what, OPERATOR ERROR! I had the fuel hose and the vaccum hose on the carb backwards! THAT WAS IT. Ok, I am ready for a bashing......Anyway, I have a new carb on there, the scoot mechanic said the old one was bad. The upside is I really got to know my scoot!
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice!

I found the vaccum line. The one connected to the bigger hose in front of the carb right? When I sucked on that, gas did go into the cup. Also, This is a new carb that I put on it. It doesn't have numbers on it, but he said it was for a 50cc scooter and everything looks pretty much the same. I checked for spark-go, I checked for compression by putting my finger over the plug hole-go, and did the fuel check as Alleyoop said-go. It cranks with the electric start-it just won't start.
This is driving me crazy. My scooter is three weeks old! I have no idea what to do next. Alleyoop, any advice you can keep giving me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much Alleyoop for your advice thus far as well.
Thanks for everyone that responded today.I think I am going to put it back together for the night and RELAX. Because right now I want to take my scooter up in the air and just drop it and watch it explode....or rather drop it on the place I got it from. I know I will get it working...with the help of this great form I found! Thanks.
Tim
