    TOR pipes popping

    I have not done it myself, but I have read that it is easy to put a marble in the AI air tube to effectively disable it. The mod is just as easy to reverse, so you can experiment first and see if it fixes your problem. If the marble fixes your problem, you can just leave it there. Actually...

    Anyone found a headlight on/off switch solution?

    Years ago I might, or might not, have had a bike equipped with a hidden switch that killed all the running lights. Was so long ago now I can't remember. Maybe it was somebody else. Anyway, it was just a simple toggle switch, one of the nice waterproof ones, mounted on the left side where it...

    Frustrating and weird

    If the starter is turning, it's not a safety interlock that's causing the problem. [Edited to remove secondary dumb suggestion, I misunderstood the problem] [Attempt at sensible suggestion follows] Is there a shear pin in there that might have let go?

    My new(to me) ride

    "It's more fun to go fast on a slow bike..." I've wondered about these things - modern scoots go pretty fast nowadays. How to they handle on those tiny wheels? What's the suspension like? Can you lean them deep into a turn, or are they only at their best in the straight stuff?

    New rider questions

    I do chain maintenance a little differently. I don't like aerosols because I know it's only a matter of time before I get careless and lubricate my rear tire. I don't like the sticky waxy stuff, either, because it holds dirt against all those little moving parts. After a bit of...

    Mods for stock pipe bikes

    Running a rebar through the stock pipes (without removing the end baffle first) seems like a fairly quiet mod - is there a meaning performance gain, or is it done just for a better sound? Aftermarket pipes, AI removal, airbox mods and a remap are a sure bet for increased performance, but only...

    Mods for stock pipe bikes

    I have an EFI Bonnie and I live in an area where noise is going to be an issue; just going to have to live with the stock pipes, at least for now. I understand that this is going to sharply limit my ability to coax more power out of the engine. The good news is that my bike is not snatchy...
