Maybe I'll see about putting a 250cc engine it..

The Reason Your ICE BEAR TRIKE JUMPS OR SHUTTERS is because of faulty case or from stress & strain dew to torque & weight.. More info toward the bottom of the page of this link..

What a depressing day.. Just got Bear reassembled, so the parts don't get lost... Everything in the transmission gear box & it's components are in good shape, all of that jumping I was getting last fall & part of the winter went away, then came back about 3 times over this last couple of weeks.. I believe there's 2 possibilities, 1) The left side engine case had a flaw in the casting of the final drive where the bearing was held in place, allowing the bearing & shaft to move, which allowed the teeth to jump, breaking out the casting, or 2) The final drive shaft was flexing dew to all the torque & weight (400 lb + 260 lb = 660 lb) & causing the gears to jump teeth & busting up the case.. I'll bet that's wolfhound's & his body's problem too!!

Here the kicker thought, remember over the winter the email I said I got from Ice Bear that they basically said there was a known problem in the drive train, but nobody would say exactly what that problem was?? Well listen to this, I call Scooters Dynasty, & they said the 150cc trikes are no longer available w/ a reverse gear box because of all the problems.. NOW IS THAT SOME crap OR WHAT??

BAD NEW, BEAR OPERATORS!! We'll be finding out exactly what the Gear Box in the trikes consists of........... I headed out for Syracuse, NY this morning, had to maneuver around a little to get turned around so I could get out the driveway... Well, it jumped a couple of times in forward like it had in the past (but hasn't done it in a long time), then it seemed OK, got about 15 miles or so, & all of a sudden it goes RIP!!! Sounded like it took every tooth off the Gears.... Needless to say, BEAR DOESN'T GO ANYMORE!! BEAR IS BROKEN!!

Does anyone know what the charge rate is for a GY6 charging system?? I know for an automobile the charge rate should be at least 13.75 volt, but wondered what is for the GY6 engine...

Ya, I'm run a side gaped plug in my "08 Longbo scoot, because the head I put on it, I had to tap it for a 14mm spark plug.. The only Iridium spark plug in a 14mm w/ the right reach & heat range is by Denso which is a foreign plug, & I've only found them outside the U.S. So I side gap a standard Champion plug to get as much performance out of it as possible..

How's it going my friend??

A side gaped spark plug, turn a standard spark plug into more of a high performance spark plug w/ out the expense.. Side gaping is a method used for performance w/ in the racing industry & 2 stroke outboard industry before the Iridium & Denso plugs, & is still used by many still today.. Here is good information about side gaping & how to do it.. These links below illustrate & explain better than I can..

Now if you want to go all out & fancy, check out how to index your side gaped spark plug... Click on the link below & scroll to the bottom of page..

Now I've only side gaped spark plugs & have never indexed one, mostly because I haven't found anyone who supplies 10mm indexing washers.. Need to have an engine machine shop make up different thickness 10mm indexing washers..
