Bought her a new helmet and riding boots. Helmet is black leather and matches her new black satin paint job. For $50, no tax and free shipping I couldn't tell her no.
The boots are good for work, riding and casual wear.

Took the CVT cover off to look at my belt and put a bit of grease in the CVT cover where the bendex rides.
All looked good other then a little glazing on the belt.

Put in a new fuel sending unit today. The little push washer that holds the float/rod/contacts in place backed off enough that the contacts went bad and a repair is simply just buying time. The new one works better then the old one ever did. After plugin in and testing the new one for any problems i installed it. Had 1/4 tank and the new one read ALMOST 1/4 tank. Went to the filling station and put in $1.00 and looked in the tank to see it at 3/4 full, turned the key and  right at 3/4 full. Not bad and no rod bending or float negotiations needed. |

I finished installing my hoca transmission kit today.. I had already installed the variator and clutch, but hadn't installed the torque sheave.. That was fun... Learned more about these chinese scoots today.. The transmission kit was def worth it tho.. Now I just need to fine tune the springs and sliders... Running abit high... Maybe buy some 8g and mix them

Not work on it per se, but I bought a Dowco all weather cover thing (actually bought one for a goldwing because they do better ones for motorbikes than they do for scooters and it will still fit, at least it should, the wing is bigger). I felt particularly decadent so I didn't use amazons super scrooge delivery, hence I should get it in a few days rather than weeks Also got a new dark tint internal sun visor to replace the light tint one. |

Good stuff. I can see a lot of potential "how-to's" that could be written given the things some of you are doing.
Last weekend I took a nice 55 mile ride up to Auberry (a nice little town up in the hills) and back. Some good steep hills and VERY twisty. It was fun though - requires your constant attention. It was hot out, but the scooter did well. Luckily I was able to stay behind a horse trailer most of the way, so I wasn't the one holding up traffic LOL. Whenever he took the turnout to let people by, so did I.
On the way home I held WOT for about 5 miles straight. Temp got up to 3/4.. a hair more at times (as it would when pulling the steep hills as well.) Doing about 66mph flat out. Could definitely tell the Dr Pulley sliders were helping with the hill climbing, but they did dampen my top speed a tad on flat ground.
Which brings me to the mod I'll be doing this week or weekend. Picked up some 'universal' coolant and Hyperlube. Going to switch to a 25/75 (more water) mix and add Hyperlube. Hyperlube says you can go as low as 15% antifreeze in street use, or full water for race use - the product has it's own lubing properties that allows this. I don't want to risk boil-over so I'll be doing a 25/75 mixture (maybe 20/80.) I've got high hopes given what I've read and experiences with my cars. With any luck this will get me closer to 1/2 on the temp gauge while holding WOT, which would be perfectly fine for me.
I'll post results once I do it.
[EDIT] - oh and one more thing.. STRANGE thing. When I had the plastics off while installing the HIDS a few weeks ago, I screwed the speedo cable connector on the back of the speedometer in more. For SOME reason.. my speedometer is way more accurate now. When it says 70mph I'm doing 66mph. Previously, I had to do 80mph indicated to reach an actual 65mph. Strange but not complaining..
