Once you get that pedle right, you really won't need to lift it on the stand, you can use its own inertia. Step rock and pull just a bit.
Let us know what you end up doing and how it works out . When I finally heal up enough to ride, I won't be able to pull that heavy bastatd up on the stand.

I agree with ya there. I looked for a different stand, but now I am accustomed to it this way. I believe the little foot peddlething should be a little longer and maybe wider.

I usually grab the rear rack wih my right hand, the left handle bar with my left, step on the stand and rock it backwards. It's different than a big bike I THINK because the swingarm and rear suspension.
Practice practice practice. I had a he!! Of a time getting the thing on the stand at first. But, finally found the right rhythm.

Okay, I know this has been covered before, the normal sizes are 856&871 but...mine was neither. Stock Power link is an 858. I can't locate that size, has anyone had experience using the 871vs the 856/859 because I have less than a eighth of an inch left on the front pulley for travel. I might need to get a 856 but...idk, what's the GE wral consensus?

I have the same scoot as OP.
The ride is stiff, but with good neoprene bushings and good tires, it's a ton better.
My Helix is like riding a cloud, the Cyprus, is supposed to be a sportier type bike, and is built with a stiff suspension. I adjusted my shocks to the Midway point,and could not be happier.
The tires made the biggest improvement. I have 13" wheels though.

If there is not a video for what u need here look for videos by 90GTVert. Be careful going with the "100" cc kits. That's a lot of pressure on a stock crank. It can and has been done, it just reduces the reliability a little. The "80" cc kits will boost performance and not beat the crank as much. Remember, you et what you pay for with the Chinese made parts. Autotech55 on eBay sells or sold kits from Taiwan that are a little higher quality. The entre reason I put the number one hour ndred in quotes was to emphasise the act that they are only CALED by that name. No, I didn't say that, and your credit, you did. Regardless, my opinion stands, as just that, MY opinion. I would never in good conscience recommend the 50+mm kits for a stock 13qmb bottom end. I can not see there beig enough of a gain in performance to justify the added stress. Will go look for m sources later, but am on way to a rather pertinent Dr. Appointment. |

First, look on Brent's board, I am relatively positive that he, or somonr there has posted weight of each.
For the arse hats that lie to sell their shauddy product, it's not ethical, but from their point of view, it's probably easier to sell a "" 100 "" cc kit than to tell the truth and sell the same kit as the honest 87.5.
The only.four poke I will own and ride are m 250's. If I wantw another fiddy, it's going to be another two stroke. Those, those I know dam God and wel what will and will not work and or cause damage.
As for scientific facts and truth, the rare too many horror stories( actual first hand accounts ) about the decreased life of a stock 139qmb crank when a 50+mm cylinder is shoved down their throats. As for the difference ein power from the 80cc kits as compared to the (no where near)100cc kits, there can't be enough gained performance to risk it.
I will go to Brent's board, locate what I am talking about,df the admin here is okay with it I will post a link. Again, only if the Admin is alright with it.

All these 139qmb stock pistons are boat anchors. From what I have seen. I honestly can not say 100% that a "100" cc kit is bad for the stock bottom end, I am just going by what I have read, and heard on most of these forums. 90GTVert says the so called hunded cc kits are hard on cranks... I trust his word on these scoot engines as if they were gospel

Sadly, thats not a terrible price for that kit. Hondas have their pros, as well as one major con, being prices for parts.

Wish they offered a larger rear wheel setup. Otherwise this is the best option I have found so far.

Remember, you et what you pay for with the Chinese made parts. Autotech55 on eBay sells or sold kits from Taiwan that are a little higher quality. Pressure as in Cylinder Pressure? If my PSI is the same how is that so? Or do you mean Pressure as in the Extra Weight of the larger piston,pin and rings of the 100cc bore? I mean pressure as in that much larger piston beating on the big end of the crank. The pressures exerted by the repeated start stop of that bigger piston will be higher than the pressures caused by the stock or 80cc piston. |

Well, if moving or wiggling the plunger makes the light come on, it sounds like the switch itself is bad. If it was me I would try jumping the two wires and see if that makes the light work every time. Brake switches are cheap and easy to replace, s get both at the same time t save on shipping.
