You are probably going to have to buy a pair that will fit and change out.

I have one that resulted in true justice. A young man ( a policeman) that I know lost his wife because a hospital did not treat her properly, actually it was gross negligence. His wife's parents wanted to sue the hospital but the young man would not have any part in it because he did not believe in law suits (even though this one was legit).

So the parents sued anyway, they even claimed the young man should have done more to save his wife putting him through a really rough time. Anyway, the jury awarded 3 million but gave it all the the young man even though he did not file the suit or want anything to do with it. The parents got nothing!

Now I call that guided justice!

My motor is still too new to run wot so that will need to wait. I am 240 lbs and the scoot is an Ice Bear viking that is a Ruckus knock off. 150 cc and I have about 100 miles on it. I had read the thread about marking the variator but have not tried it because it is still in break in. The manual wants 300 miles before running over 45 mph.

I do have a tach and take off is about 32 to 3500 and I can hear the rollers go into place. When I try to pull into a drive with a low curb it takes about 5K to get over the hump. If I have been riding for awhile it takes much too long to get it over the hump but I have not checked the tach under that condition. Today I also notice a rattling sound when accelerating. I will check it out more tomorrow because I also have a fender rattling and I need to fix that before I can find where the other noise is coming from.

Thank you all for the fast response!

Perhaps it is too early to do anything about it right now but it is worrisome and I would like to be able to do something as soon as possible.

It is the thought that counts and you made my day!!!!

If you have ever wondered how to find a dealer that will go to bat for you with the supplier/importer, look no further!

Rapid Jim at Rapid Repair is the best of the best and I would put his service up against any and all comers. I shopped via the BBB, the forums and blogs until I found Jim. He does not have a blemish of any kind on his record. He also has resolved all the difficult problems with my scoot and I am a happy camper.

All of the high volume dealers in California have terrible records when it comes to service after the sale. Of course others are no better in other parts of the country. Rapid repair stands out among dealers as a reputable full service company. Jim can and does get it done and done right. It may cost you a couple bucks extra from Jim but believe me it will be worth it many times over

Rapid repair is in Wisconsin and I live in New Mexico so any dealer I found would need to drop ship to me. A dealer that was interested in my problems was of major importance.

Good luck on buying your new scoot but take a look at Ice Bear and Rapid Repair if you want the best.

Thanks to rapidjim I am now the proud owner of a new Ice Bear Viking Trike. Had a bit of a time getting it going but it all worked out thanks to Jim's patience.

I have noticed that the air filter does not seem adequate for the conditions around my home in New Mexico. Needless to say we do have a little dust around here in the desert SW even on pavement.

What I would like is recommendations on a proper air filter to allow free breathing and still provide adequate protection. I have read about some racing filters, etc. but not being an old hand at scootering I would appreciate some input from experienced owners.

So far my only mods are adding a couple bags for "stuff" and additional tail lights and see me lights on the front, New Mexicans are noted for not seeing bicycles, scooters and such. Looking forward to getting it to smooth out a little. That one banger sure is a great massage machine.

Any help please!
