d*** I'm such a noob. Thanks all

I installed a oil pump plug on my dio. After a few blocks it popped off. Do I need to put permartex or something. All I did was tapped it all the way down. Please advise. I'm noobing. Thanks

OK got all the gearing help from moped connection. come to find out the previous owners of the motor swapped my dios motor with 87 gears. so i ended up swapping my entire trans to dd50 set up. now im at 7.44 ratios. thanks for all the help.

anybody got the wiring diagram for a dj-1 headset? i wanna install that headset on my 87 elite. anybody got experience with this? thanks

I just found out that my primary gears are 13x34. 87 gearing in my 94 motor. Is that good or bad? Which secondary gears do I get?

Not sure. I'm burying the needle. So at least 45 - 50. It just winds the gear up a lot. And the low end is too much.

I'm trying to resurrect my SA50 engine for daily use. Currently, I have on it:

70 (something?) cc bore kit
Arrow Pipe
28 Kehin Carb
stock gears
mod pulley
mod clutch spring
All on dio zx wheels (30/30?)

I can feel the gears holding it back big time and never got to changing them until now. I'm ...

Bakaracer - I have your post in save from 5 years back about your conversion. Your 87s inspire my builds. I remember in your post you said what you said above. I just needed to make sure before I started. I really want to keep the original panels. Care to share some of your pics in your 87s? Pm me ...

Anybody got the answer?

Thanks for the response. Can u clarify what u mean by cutting the stem and lengthening it? You know any pics I can refer to? Thanks again

sorry let me clarify but i think you already answered my questions: Currently I have the stock elite 1987 rim with a 3.00 size tire on it. I bought a metropolitan rim with a 90/90-10 size tire on it. I just was wondering what are the benefits in converting to this metropolitan rim and tire setup ...

Can a dio zx (af35) rear wheel fit on a 1994 dio motor? If so, is it a straight bolt on? Thanks.

i have a 94 dio motor in my 87 elite. Right now there is a 3.00-10 size wheel in it. Would there be any benefit in mounting a metropolitan 90-90 50j tire in it? If so is it a straight bolt on? Do I have to stretch or do anything to make it fit? Thank you

Did some research awhile ago and saw a disc brake conversion on an 1987 elite using a dio zx front end. I bought a dio zx front end (fork, handlebar, levers, disc brake, and tire) from Japan. Before diving in and breaking my 87 down, I wanted to ask if is it as simple as removing the 87s front end ...
