Thanks for the starter clutch file... I got the case buttoned up, just have to wait for new head gasket... I couldn't find any evidence of any problems causing my engine noise, but still suspect the noise is coming from starter clutch rollers & or starter & starter clutch gears chattering... Rod, wrist pin, crank, & crank bearings all feel & look good...

Do any of you Dawg's know if the Starter Clutch Lock Nut is a left hand or right hand thread?? Also what is the trick to keeping it from turning??? I have the Spanner Socket for the job, & hit it w/ the impact, but it's on there pretty good...

I wanted to let all of you know, that I believe I found the problem in the drive train that is causing the jumping in the trikes... What I found was: When they added the gear box to the final drive unit, they have 2 set of needle bearings in the right end of the forward/reverse gear box to support the right end (sprocket end) of the final drive output shaft, & ball bears in the final drive cover to support the left end of the final drive output shaft... OK, well in the right side wall of the final drive/engine case there is a recess for a bearing which would be there if the forward/reverse gear box wasn't attached... I believe they left this bearing out thinking it wasn't necessary... So, what I believe is happening is the final drive output shaft is flexing in the middle of the shaft from the torque where they left the bearing out... I believe by putting the missing bearing back in would support the middle of the shaft, then there would be no way the final drive gears will jump.. I'm still waiting for my warranty parts, but when they come in & when I reassemble there will be a 3rd bearing added in the middle of the final output shaft...

OK DOC Jrr or who ever
As some of you know & those of you who didn't know, I have been involved w/ the testing of the Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head - STAGE 1 KIT through Buggy Parts NW, thanks to alleyoop...

To start w/ in appreciation to Mike at Buggy Parts NW who supplied the Stage 1 Head Kit to me & alleyoop who gave up his opportunity to test this kit & recommended me to Mike... Thank You Guy's for the opportunity to be involved in the testing of this fine product...

I know the suspense has been just killing some of you...

I installed the stage 1 test head kit on my 2010 Ice Bear PST150-11 Trike.. My fist impression of this head was vary, vary high, the Endrigo's, in my opinion did an exceptional job reworking the valve train.. The Valve Guides to Valve Stems clearances were perfect, unlike the stock head... The head decking also vary nice, & intake & exhaust ports were nice & clean & open, w/ mated intake manifold (ported)... Included necessary gaskets & come w/ straight forward bolt on instruction & live phone support... In my opinion, this Bolt On Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head - STAGE 1 KIT, is well worth the price tag for 3 REASONS 1: The High Quality Work Man Ship of this Head, 2: The Installation Instruction Sheet which is worth as much as the kit it's self, these installation instructions has vary valuable setup information that enhances this vary superior product... 3: Live Phone Support, which also holds value..

Unfortunately for the info some of you are really waiting for, POWER, TOP SPEED, & GAS MILEAGE, I can't give a fair opinion on... I feel I have to be fair to the Endrigo's & to Mike at Buggy Parts NW... Having said that, the reason I can't give a fair opinion as to the performance of this Stage 1 Head Kit, I blame on the machine I installed the kit on, due to weight of this trike 400 lb + my 260 lb, also for the simple reason the engine in these trike are according to Ice Bear are classified as GY7 buggy / go cart type engine, which already has vary high low end torque, & the gas mileage in my opinion is so poor that this stage 1 kit would have to perform miracles.. So I feel that my machine does not do justice for the Stage 1 Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head... & due to the unfortunate destruction of the final drive unit, my testing came to an abrupt end....

But to sum it all up into a nut shell, I feel I chose the wrong machine for this test subject, but I do feel that the Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head is Worthy & priced right... You may ask, would I, myself pay the price for the Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head kits?? & the answer is YES, & would vary much like to in the vary near future..

At this moment I'm working on a different machine for my next personal test subject, which is a 2008 Longbo Alien 150cc, that I'm modding moderately but w/ stock head, & using Endrigo's setup procedures, to get the highest performance possible, highest top speed possible, & highest economy possible... Then I will purchase the Endrigo Racing Cylinder Head - stage 1 or stage 2 kit just because of the quality & support...

& No I was not nor am I being paid in any way, for anything stated here in this thread, this just how strongly I feel about this product that's being offered to the Cycling, ATV, Buggy, & Carting World...

& Again THANKS to those who made this opportunity possible for me, it's been fun & an experience..

OK Doc
Here my 2 cents!!! This rule of thumb depends on how hard a person is on brakes, how fast you ride, how close to the vehicle in front of you, how soon a person starts braking coming to a stop sign, etc... I guess if you ride like I do, maybe not long, but on the other hand, I've never worn out a set of pads or shoes on any of my cycles... But between scooters & motorcycle & 5 days out of 7 I can ride a different machine each of the 5 days... But putting all that aside, the pads on my motorcycles have gone some where around 8,000 miles so far, & will probably go another 4,000... Don't know on the Chinese scoots though, haven't gone that many miles on a scoot yet, but they seem to be holding up pretty good...

Ya, I meant 2009, I correct it.

OK, I guess I was wrong about the 1 year warranty.. It's 6 months from the purchase date...
