I can't justify paying $12 for that thing. What size thread is that thing guys?

Thanks!

If it's not one thing, it's the other.
I'll check the roller weights, I just want to ride this thing!

Hi,

I took apart this old CH80, 1987, replaced the tranny bearings and cleaned the carb. After I finished I noticed the rear wheel makes a grinding noise, it is not smooth and loose, but it rotates freely, so I don't care too much about that noise.

Anyway, it starts with one touch but it has no ...

Yes, I bought them online for a fraction of the "stealer" cost.

Ie, the final shaft bearing costs were.

Dealer $29

Online $9

The scooter took a * amount of water and it is running pretty darn rough on low speeds, sometimes it lacks of accelleration. I got a lot of water out of the filter box ...

Bingo!!

It was the final shaft bearing. I repace a few more bearings and the gasket.

However, this thing is running rough at low speeds. It shakes like crrrrrrrrrrrrrazy! It took a lot of water while waiting for hte parts and I don't know where to start.

I guess it will be a game of elimination ...

Update:

( In case this helps someone out there)

I opened the transmission and the final shaft was very loose, it had a lot of play, so I am going to replace the bearing.

Taking it apart is not that difficult. I hope reassembly is just as easy and I don't end wiht "spare parts"

Once the screws ...

I got it out, it is a tight fit. I used my regular socket and the good old hammer.

Thanks,

The manual calls for two bolts, the inspection/Fill and the drain.

I don't seem to be able to get any tool to fit that bolt, I can't even reach it.

Is it required to take apart the tranny cover?

Thanks!

Ok.. I parked this repair for a while, not it is decision time! Do I fix it or do I craigslist it.

Well, I read a lot and I found out that it could be the final shaft bearing. so, it's time to take this girl apart.

I tight the * out of the wheel and nothing, the popping sound is still there.

Hey ...

Tight it is..still can't drive it. I 'm taking it apart tomorrow.

After some work, I got this girl going again. But now, the rear wheel is making noise, like cracks or pops. It is somewhat loose.

What should I start with? Could it be the main wheel connector or bearings? Does it have bearings?

Your help is appreciated it,

F
