Re: Elite Se50 1.85 rims - What tire?

I ordered a tube and tire from Amazon and the tube did not have the nuts on it. It was just a copper tube bent on a 45┬░ angle. I installed this tube with new tire. 2 days later the tire was flat??? I did put about 15 miles on this setup before it went flat.

Could I have received the wrong tube? Or ...

My scooter....want it faster

I bought this scooter last month. It honestly goes about 45+mph, not exactly sure. But the needle almost disappears.
The owner said it had a racing clutch and exhaust. I'm not really sure what they are. Here are some pics of the lower sides, maybe that can help. What can I purchase next for an ...

Re: 01 Elite SR "GOOCH"

In Michigan, if you are caught going over 35mph and not insured, they can confiscate the bike for lying to SOS about the stats. Anything over 30mph needs to be plated and insured. Be careful!
The guy before me that owned my scooter had it plated and insured. The SOS made me sign an affidavit that it ...

Re: strange noise after drop

If you pull the kicker lever off, there is a c clip that keeps the kicker lever tight in the cover. If the clip gets damaged, it will allow the mushroom gear to go more inwards towards the drive face. Most likely that clip was damaged. Should be a cheap fix! I bet there is someone on here with one ...

strange noise after drop

My son dropped my 2001 Elite SA50 at a standstill on the kickstart side. Bike was running. The kickstart then proceeded to go down on its own with some cluncking noise and deep grinding. I shut it down.
On trying to restart with starter the kickstart will go down again. I would then have to pull ...

Does anyone know the larger tire size?
