Well the dio had a shot variator, roller weights, flywheel key and I dont even know how much more. I dont know where I would be if I hadnt known TrafficJamz. I now owe him my life and his variator back :oops: . But I do know one thing that dio (stock) makes the spree engine look and feel like a little pink tricycle. So thanks TrafficJamz!!!! I owe you. :thumbwink:

Most of the performance coils for these scoots are not worth the money. The ones I've seen are good for scooter bling but tend to be less reliable in the long run. Just carry your stocker with you and it will be an easy swap on the side of the road.

Bare weight in the clutch? Could it be that something is always grinding and the exaust just drowns out the sound when you get going?

Rotate the belt drive by hand and watch the driven pulley.

Are you talking about the outer pulley half on the crank shaft? That is called compression because you are rotating your piston in the cylinder. You can remove your spark plug to make the pulley easy to rotate. Look at the other pulley when you are spinning the front pulley. Does it have a wobble? Does it catch the case at all? The bell might be true and it could be the actual sheave.
