I agree, riding on two wheels opens a whole new perspective on enjoying ife.
(actually, riding on three ain't bad either)

Give us a pic of your Silver Bullet (hopefully not a Coors Light can.)

And, Welcome and enjoy the Scooter life

Dave

Get a 150cc
Again, I never understood why someone would buy a 50cc, then do all the work to make it faster, when they coulda gotten a 150 instead (or a 250, etc.)

I was told cause of ins, registration, Motorcycle Lic, etc.
To me, I say, do the right thing, and get your MC training, Lic and Reg and Ins.

But, that's just me

I have read of the BBK's, perf exhaust, rollers, variator, etc etc.

But, yea, I guess it's doeable., but 45 at WOT for any length of time can't be good for the engine
But, again, that's just me.

I'm sure other 50cc folks will give ya the real skinny as to how they did theirs.
I just got the biggest I could get from the get go.


God speed and safe riding

Dave

this may be a bit extreme, but I was taught to
1. Place cardboard under the tires (to absorb moisture)
2. Drain the engine oil and replace with reg oil. Change oil with the good stuff in the spring
3. Use Stabil, or Seafoam. Fill tank with gas and add the 2-3 whatever oz's of the additive. Take the scoot out for a little ride, to get the additive well circulated and in the carbs
5. rear gear oil should be fine, but replace in the spring.
6. Change the chinese coolant to good coolant, and don't forget to burp.
7. Remove battery, take in the house and put on a battery tender
8. Cover the bike with a real bike cover, or bedsheet, but cover it with something

I got my Zodiac early this summer.
I need a trike due to a minor disability, otherwise I'd be back on two wheels.
I ordered my zodian from JIm, at Rapid Repair.
He's great to work with. We talked on a regular basis from the time of my first questions to well after delivery.

I only had a few issues when I first got the trike.
Talked to Jim and resolved the issues.
In addition, I went thru the bike and did my own PDI.
Found a few things and tightened em, oiled em, adjusted, fixed em, greased em, etc etc

I've only ridden about 600 miles (oil change at 500) due to work, rain, etc.

In that time, I've learned a few things about the Zodiac.

It is a bit of a hard ride, I assume due to the wide rear tires.
The rear tires stick out further than I thought. (hit the curb at the drive thru at McDonalds)
Top speed is just over 60, but I haven't GPS'd it yet. Although I do have the mount ready for it.
I haven't done any engine modifications yet at all.
Alley says it's already punched out so not much else to do.
And, realistically, if it'll pass cars doing down the major roads, that's all I need it to do
No long distance hi way riding. (but I can/do do short stints from one exit to the next)

I will be checking the rear brake calipers and pads
I like the rear trunk.
It's a chick magnet
I added a Shark Marine stereo and put the receiver in the glove box

I'm a big POW/MIA supporter

And it fits my needs


All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the scoot.
I'm gonna do the routine maint religiously and see what happens.

Any questions, please ask.

And, it's so good to see some more Zodiac and Magnum (sorry your dealer couldn't deliver) riders on here

God speed to all
Dave

I got my 300cc Zodiac from Jim
Dealer did the PDI
There are rubber washers under the body kit screws
No vibration from the rear deck
Plenty of power, but I'm still doing the break in
The 14" rear tires are nice
Bit of a rough ride on these winter destroyed roads, but oh so nice in good roads
Absolutely no power loss on hills
And its a great chick magnet
Plenty of storage under the seat and the givi box
Need to add tach and voltmeter

I like mine

You can do a lap link (download from your fone to your puter)
but, that's too complicated for me
I just email it to myself, download to MY PICTURES, resize if necessarry and it's forever saved.
