Hi guys,
Cyborg thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. After looking on the web for your recommendations, I found that KONI is now being produced under the IKON brand and that HAGON bought GIRLING tooling and is producing modern versions of their shocks.
Now moving attention to the other end of the scooter, what do you guys would say about improving front fork suspension?
Best regards,

I want to change the rear shocks of my Chinese 150cc, R16 wheels scooter. I guess riding it with a better pair of shocks will be more enjoyable. I have not been able to find much comments about rear shocks on the forum. The web page of YSS shocks (  .yssusa.com) has a good amount of information, but I am still lost about what parameters to consider in order to choose an adequate pair of shock substitutes. I would appreciate any comments you much more experienced guys could share about this topic. Thank you in advance!!! |

My scooter steering bearings keep getting loose. I would say every 2000 km I need to have the shop adjusting them for me. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
Can they be upgraded to tapered-rollers type bearings? Mine are caged ball bearings.

Thanks cyborg. Do you know the recommended frequency of replacement and how to determine the volume of oil needed. My scooter manual doesn't say a word about it

Hi guys, I have some questions about fork oil replacement for my GY6 150cc R16 scooter:
• How frequently should it be replaced
• What oil is appropriate
• How much oil
Is there anyone that can help me with this? I will appreciate it very much.

Thank you JR!
It really sounds weird. But it looks like another case adds up to the urban legend.
By the way, I have a doubt about 4T engine oil. Is there a difference between 4T Motorcycle engine oil and 4T Scooter engine oil? I have seen both oils commercialized by same brands.

Did you recently do an OIL change? If so it could be leaking by the Oil Drain Plug. If you see it is wet by the middle of the Case where they go together it may be the gasket and or loose case bolts. You really have to pinpoint where it is leaking from it could be from a few places. So wipe it clean and see if you can find where it is leaking. When it leaks the oil blows all over the place when you riding so it makes it a little harder to pinpoint. It could also be the cover behind the Flywheel and Stator, if it is leaking from there the fan blows it forward under the shroud. Alleyoop Hi Alleyoop, I’m quoting your post because it describes my process to pinpoint an oil leak on my 150 cc, 16 in wheel scooter, with 4500 Kms. Finally, I’m almost sure the oil is coming out of the crankshaft behind the Flywheel and Stator. I’ll be completely sure when I get the tool the dismount those parts. I guess there is an oil seal on that case cover and around the crankshaft. Please let me know how to fix this problem. I haven’t found any video about this particular oil seal. Also, I would like your comments on the possible causes for the oil leak. I have read that Synthetic oil and also a pinched valve cover vent line could be it. In fact, this is the first time I’m using Motul Synthetic oil, and the vent line is somewhat bent by the rear fender just where it access the air box. Thank you in advance, rp62 |

Hi,
I'm not sure if I should open a new thread since my next question is not related to the previous topic. So please let me know for the future and my apologies if this is not right.
I have read about different oil change intervals and I'm not sure what to do. I'm using MOTUL SCOOTER EXPERT 4T 10W40 oil (fully synthetic) and have been changing it every 1000 Km. Its price has increased a lot, so that made me think if I'm underutilizing it and consequently wasting my money.
Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks in advance.

The scooter is like the one on my avatar, but I'll post a picture of mine to have a better view. I like it very much because of its design and wheel size, good for not such a smooth pavement we have here. However, I would like it to have more power because when sometimes two of us ride up by the many Caracas hills, it goes at 25 mph max. I'll try playing with the rollers weight.
Thank you John!
