✅ How to post (so your thread looks clean)

Option A: Start a build thread (recommended)

Create one thread per build, and update it as you make progress.

Suggested title format:
“ — Goal (Top speed / Daily / Race) — Engine (2T/GY6)”
Example: “2016 Genuine Buddy — Street/Race Hybrid — 70cc 2T”

Option B: Quick showoff post

If you don’t want a full build thread, just post a pic + short list of mods.

📌 Build Thread Template (Copy/Paste)

Use this to start your build thread:

1) Year / Make / Model:
2) Engine: 2T / 4T / GY6 + displacement
3) Goal: (daily reliability, top speed, drag, track, hills, etc.)
4) Current mods/setup:

• Carb / jetting:

• Intake/filter:

• Exhaust:

• Cylinder/cam/head:

• Ignition/CDI:

• CVT setup: (rollers/sliders, springs, clutch, belt)

• Final drive/gears (if changed):
  5) Current performance: (top speed GPS, RPM, 0–30, etc.)
  6) Problems you’re working through (if any):
  7) Photos/video: (drop them here)

🔥 What to share (the fun stuff)

• Before & after pics

• “Here’s what I learned” notes

• Jetting/CVT settings that worked

• GPS speed, tach RPM, track times, hill climb results

• What you’d do differently next time

🤝 Keep it positive

This section is for sharing and hype. Constructive feedback is welcome, but don’t be a jerk.

Post your build below — let’s see what you’re working with 👇

To keep things fast and organized, please follow the guidelines below.

✅ Before you post: what to include

Copy/paste this and fill it out:

1) Part name (and link if you have it):
2) Scooter year / make / model:
3) Engine type: 2T / 4T / GY6 / displacement
4) What you’re trying to do: (install, tuning, fitment check, etc.)
5) What’s happening: (issue/symptom)
6) Photos/video: (highly recommended)

• Photo of the part installed (or where it’s supposed to go)

• Photo of the surrounding area (mount points, clearances, etc.)

7) Order info (IMPORTANT):
✅ If you need order-specific help, do NOT post your order number, address, or tracking publicly.
Instead, say: “Order info available” and we’ll ask you to DM/email it.

🔧 Fitment help tips (so we can diagnose fast)

• Tell us if the scooter is stock or modified (especially engine swaps)

• If something doesn’t line up, include:

  • where it hits/rubs

  • what fasteners you’re using

  • any spacers/washers

  • a photo from 2 angles

• If it’s a printed part, include the material if known (PLA+/PETG/ABS/etc) and if it was exposed to heat.

🧾 Warranty / returns / replacements (quick policy)

We stand behind our parts, but we need the right info to help:

• If a part arrives damaged or defective, post photos and we’ll make it right.

• If the issue is fitment-related, we’ll troubleshoot first and confirm the correct setup.

• Abuse/incorrect installation/heat damage may not be covered — but we’ll still try to help you get it sorted.

(Full policy lives on the store site; this forum thread is for support and troubleshooting.)

Post here for:

• Roller vs slider weight questions

• Contra/torque spring tuning

• Clutch spring tuning + engagement RPM

• Variators, drive faces, belt sizing

• Slipping belts, glazing, heat issues

• “It revs but doesn’t move” / “falls on its face” CVT problems

• Finding the right RPM for your powerband

✅ CVT TUNING TEMPLATE (Copy/Paste)

Fill this out in your post for the fastest help:

1) Scooter + Engine

• Year / Make / Model:

• Engine type: 2T / 4T / GY6:

• Displacement (50/70/125/150/etc):

• Current power mods: (pipe, BBK, cam, carb, etc)

2) Current CVT Setup

• Variator brand/model:

• Roller/slider weight (grams):

• Contra/torque spring (stock / 1k / 1.5k / 2k / color/brand):

• Clutch springs (stock / 1k / 1.5k / 2k / color/brand):

• Clutch brand/model:

• Belt brand + size (if known):

• Final drive / gears (if changed):

3) What you’re trying to fix or achieve

• Goal: (better launch / better mid / more top / hill climb / lower temps / less slip)

• Current top speed (GPS if possible):

• Current max RPM at WOT:

• RPM at takeoff:

• RPM cruising:

4) Symptoms

• Over-revving? (yes/no)

• Bogging/low RPM under load? (yes/no)

• Belt slip/burning smell? (yes/no)

• Shudder on takeoff? (yes/no)

• Flat spot at a certain speed? (yes/no)

5) Environment (helps more than people think)

• Rider weight (approx):

• Tire size (if not stock):

• Terrain: flat / hills:

• Altitude (optional):

Quick CVT “rules of thumb” (not universal, but helpful)

• Heavier weights usually lower RPM / can increase top speed if you have the power.

• Lighter weights usually raise RPM / can improve acceleration but can over-rev.

• Stiffer contra spring helps belt grip and backshift, but can reduce top speed if too stiff.

• Stiffer clutch springs raise engagement RPM (launch harder), but too stiff can feel “slippy” in traffic.

Post your setup + goal using the template above and we’ll help you dial it in 🤝

Post here for:

• Valve adjustments (clearances, symptoms of tight valves)

• Big bore kits (BBK) and reliability tips

• Carbs/jetting, airbox vs pod filters, tuning for seasons

• CVK carbs vs flatslides (what changes, what to expect)

• Cams, rocker arms, head work, compression

• Ignition/CDI, stator charging issues, wiring gremlins

• Oil weight, cooling, overheating prevention

• Fuel delivery, vacuum petcocks, intake leaks

• Gear-up kits and final drive questions

To get good answers fast, include:

Scooter: year/make/model
Engine: GY6 size (50/125/150/etc) + short/long case if known
Current mods: carb size, intake, exhaust, BBK, cam, CDI, gearing
Problem or goal: top speed, acceleration, hill climb, reliability, etc
Symptoms: when it happens (idle / takeoff / mid / WOT)

Quick baseline checklist (GY6 essentials)

• Valves first. Tight valves cause hard starts, stalling warm, low power.

• Check for vacuum leaks (intake boot, vacuum lines, petcock).

• Verify fuel flow and that the auto choke works.

• If you changed intake/exhaust, expect jetting changes.

When you solve something, come back and post what fixed it — that’s how the forum becomes a goldmine 🤝

Post here for:

• Carb tuning / jetting / needle tuning (pilot, main, clip position)

• Air leaks, crank seals, reeds, intake boots

• Pipes (expansion chamber choices, fitment, powerband tuning)

• Cylinders & porting (sport vs midrace vs high-end)

• Ignition timing, CDI, stator issues

• Oil injection vs premix, ratios, and safe practices

• Cooling, plug chops, EGT/CHT discussions

• Compression, squish, head work

To get good answers fast, include:

Scooter: year/make/model
Engine: 2T type + displacement (ex: Minarelli, PGO, etc.)
Carb: size + jets + needle clip (if known)
Intake/filter: stock box / pod / snorkel changes
Pipe: name/model
Cylinder: stock / kit (which one)
Fuel/oil: premix ratio or injection
Symptoms/goals: (top speed, acceleration, midrange, reliability)

Helpful “baseline” threads we’ll build over time

• Common jetting starting points by carb size

• Air leak test guide + most common leak spots

• Plug reading basics (and what NOT to rely on)

• “Safe first upgrades” for stock bottom ends

Keep it detailed, keep it respectful, and share what worked when you solve it 🤝
