Charity Ride your bike to work day at TransCanada. Finished my build just in time

little thread jack eh sean



here a sweet little roller from warren @ euro cars and coffee a few weeks ago.

Im kinda caught between a rock and a hard place......

Between the previous owner messing up the threads on the crank, and me finishing it off the other day while doing some cvt tuning. .... I' need a new crank. I dont think ill be able to tap the threads. its in a super awkward place and the metal is hardened. New crank, means ripping apart the motor which I'm not all that interested in doing.

I have the opportunity to buy a replacement motor in the city for few hundred bucks which isn't too bad. but I've been struggling to get this scoot past 65 kph and i need to get it to 80 in order for it to be practical to ride.

I think an engine swap may be coming sooner than later.

Why must people who ride scooters be oblivious to road rules? Just because its a scooter doesn't mean you would be road meat if you wiped out hard or were hit by a car.

Riding around without proper gear? I see so many scooter people doing this. Flipflops, t-shirts, beanies, etc.

You aren't wearing proper footwear or even gloves in your picture above.

Huh.... i didnt realize recommended riding equipment are "Road rules"

Its my choice if i want to wear protective gear (apart form a bucket) or not. The gloves i purchased are much too large for the handle bars so i need to get smaller ones.

Its up to me if i want to risk not wearing protective gear. And riding around at 65kph and under, i feel ok without wearing full gear and am willing to take that risk. I am comfortable with riding in just a hoodie, jeans and sneakers.

Joining in on the derailment, I see dudes in gym shorts and flip flops on sport bike regularly, and guys in t-shirts on harleys at least daily.

I don't think a lack of protective gear is a scooter thing at all.

I was just gonna say.... At least I'm in a hoodie and jeans. I see guys on larger/much faster bikes in t shirts and shorts very often.

[QR25DE-SER]

I've seen a few guys in bathing sits as well as women on he back in bikinis on those sport bikes. I figure they haven't hit a rock yet. Only time will tell .
Riding in the rain or even a hail storm they will wish they wore a t shirt or something.

[Neons4life]

These riders have clearly never crashed...yet. Once they do, then their mentality will change. major road rash (melted pants to leg) . I wear nothing but a full suit.

back on topic lol...

Update on the ruckus.

Been having a hell of a time trying to get this thing past 65kph. Really need to get it above that for it to be practical to ride. I can barely get anywhere in the city due to the fast roads around my community.

Im sure i said somewhere in this thread i wasn't going to swap it but that has changed....New motor will be here on monday. Im going to be doing a swap series on my youtube channel, so if you guys are interested in seeing how the swap goes. Hit that subscribe button and follow along. Im going to be swapping this in and getting it running as soon as possible.

I've had a couple downs, luckily both at low speed, and I still got noteworthy road rash (even at 40kph since I was in shorts and a tee). Enough that I never went out without gear on after that. Also something to remember - jeans don't protect you. At all. They shred in about the first 15' of sliding.

Sorry for the derail op haha.

Danny is going to wear a speedo while riding the ruckus if yall keep it up...

Excited to see the swap! I don't know much about them, but I didn't know that was a thing. I think you should add a little spray too

Haha the 150cc gy6 is a very common swap for these bikes. Should get me right up to 80kph-90kph without any modifications to the motor. but that being said..... this engine allows me the option to big boring up to 232CC at a very low cost if i ever decided to do that in the future.

Preview of the parts going on! almost everything is here ready to go. just need a harness and a few other small tidbits. The yoshi exhaust is gorgeous!
