The variator weights are the easiest mod for improving performance. They allow your motor to actually get into it's "power curve". My scooter was only capable of about 30-32 MPH with stock variator weights. Replacing them with slightly lighter weights allowed it to make 42-45 MPH. I usually run it around 35 MPH but the extra speed is nice to have available in case I need it.
@@wadeadams2775 Heavier weights throw out the front pulley at a lower rpm Thus bogging down the engine before it can get into it's power curve. Which is like taking off on a 15 speed bike in a high gear.
On my 168, the revs build a little too much so i goose it a shade and the seemingly stuck weights fling out more. Rpm doesn't change but ground speed sure does..fast. I cruise at 40 but would like 50. What do you think?
Here is another horse power tip u can add to your collection, you install non resistor spark plug and a non resister solid copper spark plug wire and finally a high voltage capicator

Well done! Your videos are head and shoulders above any of the other GY6/Buddy 125 content I've seen. The info is concise, accurate, accessible and entertaining. In addition, the parts and kits look to be about the best available to the market, and you certainly know what you're talking about. So...with all of that said...I went and got a 2008 Genuine Buddy 125 today from a seller in Denver. It runs, but it is pretty beat up. (I traded a drone for it.) The previous owner bought it from a police auction, and he thinks it was most likely a joy ride victim. I am the type of person that looks at motorized machinery as art, so I see beyond the dings, dents and cracks. I also do not own anything that I do not modify. :) My goal is to transform this scooter from its current condition into a custom, show-worthy, ass-kicking little bike. After having watched a whole slew of Buddy 125 videos that really didn't offer much in the way of information or inspiration I found your channel. I'm really glad that I did. I now have a much clearer idea of what some of the possibilities are. Since it is currently February, and it's not going to be much fun to ride a scooter for several weeks I am thinking about doing a sort of "frame up" restoration on this bike. During this process, as I progress from scooter newbie to proud owner of a badass Buddy scooter. I plan to document everything on video and in a blog. I am a professional cinematographer, and former journalist. I love discovering new stories to tell, especially those which involve internal combustion and smoking tires. When I restored my Miata from "squirrel nest" to "wow dude" I did almost everything with basic tools in my driveway, and without much to work with besides elbow grease and profanity. Fabricating parts was difficult to say the least. I didn't have a lot of fabrication capacity to work with, basically a drill press, belt sander and hand tools. That has changed, drastically. I'm now a member of the local #Makerspace, so I have unlimited access to a whole array of tools, machines, resources, etc. The Makerspace opens up a plethora of customization/restoration options for this project. I can machine parts on the CNC mills/lathes, print them on one of the 3D printers, laser engrave, vinyl cut, lay carbon fiber, electroplate, weld, etc. etc. I know that having this type of fabrication capability will go a long way toward making this project amazing, but especially in combination with your body of knowledge, as well as the large array of top-shelf performance parts you offer. Knowing that there are industry pros and an inventory of killer parts an hour north is comforting. Ordering parts from Amazon or whatever doesn't necessarily cut it when your project is important and has to be done right the first time. No one at Amazon is equipped to discuss carb jetting or tell you how to fine tune your torque curve. They have no problem selling you a part that either won't work for your project or just isn't that great. I always prefer buying from folks who know what they are talking about, and care about their customer's results. I can see this project emerging as a story about the path from 'newbie with a basket case bike' to 'proud owner/builder of something incredibly cool'. The build process will definitely involve a few of the items in this video, along with many others I will discover on your website. I think that it's also likely that new parts and products could result from this project as it progresses. (I am also a design engineer.) Anyhow....I live in Colorado Springs, CO, about an hour from you guys, and while I will most likely not be riding the project bike up to your shop while winter weather is here, I would really like to reach out to you during this project, and make your products, your company and your team part of the story. Let me know if you' guys would like to chat about this. Cheers! Keep up the good work. P.S. It is possible to fit a Genuine Buddy 125 into the back of a Subaru Crosstrek if you fold the seats down. :)
The buddies are great scooters! You can really wake them up! I would be happy to help as much as I can. When it comes to the actually genuine parts, I am not a dealer so that part get rough. Other than that, I can certainly help!
With even a few things modified, some for power and some for top speed...how do you protect from over heating/stressing the stock piston and cylinder ?
@@mikegerard11 as long as you don't buy a unrestricted cdi that allows the rpm to go beyond the norm, all of these upgrades should be just fine. Nothing extraordinary. Unless you were familiar with the bike, you wouldn't even notice these "upgrades". About all you can do without big bore kits and such is choose between more top end or bottom end and maybe add a fraction of a horsepower.
Hello, I have a problem, I have a Peugeot Speedfight 1 100cc that recently seized up/heat seized. It was not tuned. I then changed the cylinder, piston etc. It now starts up right away, but after a while it dies all of a sudden (as if you had turned off the key) and then I can start it right up again, this usually happens when I go over 60 km/h or uphill. When I changed the cylinder etc, I also cleaned everything thoroughly, such as the carburettor, intake, new air filter, new fuel filter (there was no fuel filter before) new spark plug. I also removed the oil pump and put a metalplate with a gasket over the hole instead, I now mix the oil directly into the gasoline. Some other info that might be important. - When I drive over 60 km/h, it starts to make a noise from the variator (CVT), it´s sounds quite a lot. - When it died, I tried to start it again while it was rolling and then it started right away, but it made a noise from the variator, like something "let go" that had been seized up, like a rubber sound, maybe from the belt. - The variator belt touches the variator cover on the inside and has grinded a cut in the metal. - In the variator, where the weights are, the belt does not go down to the bottom of the wheel. - The clutch bell had turned blue from the heat. - The place where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft had turned blue from heat. - There was no fuel filter on it before. But i now saw there is an internal fuel filter in the gastank, can it affect the vacuum if you now have 2 fuel filters. Please help me. Regards Andree.
Not so Pro Tip: if you don't want to fiddle with the weights in the CVT just remove three of the stock ones. Remove one and leave the opposite one directly across in. You will lose top end so only do this if you're playing around on hills and in areas that require more get to the gone instead of the gone.
i have a gy6 200 cc engine in my golf cart. i believe the engine is bad. 14 hours old. it had a oil leak and i believe its seized up. I took the started off and i can make it turn with the key. But it wont turn the motor. i'm sad. Can the motor be rebuilt? And i want more power.
I figured out that i the piston is stuck in the sleve. I will order the big bore kit and the head with the larger valves. it's an efi 169cc and i want any other performance mods.
Great video, just what I was looking for. Fantastic illustrations for the unknowledgeable to make sense of things. Will be doing business with you very soon. This is why you SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES. 😊💪👊
I have one of the venom x21 2019 50cc qmb139 gy6 and put 7000km on it all stock just changed the oil and adjusted the values, now I'm going to do it up over the winter. I been stocking up and ordering parts and your videos are very informative and help, really appreciated your the best man...I'm in Canada and wondering if you ship here or if I can order from you?
Heyo, can anyone recommend some GOOD quality 50cc 4 stroke cylinders and pistons for a 139qmb qm50qt 6(A)? My Rex Scooter is burning oil BADLY since ive ridden it about 11-12k km, and ONLY doing wheelies on it, riding in the forests! Engines pretty much toast by now, it does have compression still, but not a lot! It still runs too, but i need to fill up oil before every ride! How much compression is it supposed to have? Thanks
@@Mr.Robert1 yeah been thinking about that for a while now, but everything else is still good, like the clutch, bearings arent noisy, variator is still good and many more things! Idk man...
"Continuous Variable Transmission also known as a CVT"... also known originally as a "Variomatic". The system was created by the Dutch company DAF, also known as... "Van Doorne's Automobile Factory".
About 30 years before that a guy adapted saw mill cvt transmissions into cars and about 500 years ago leonardo de vinci designed the cvt but only in drawings.
Very informative. One issue I am not sure of and that is the smaller air filter. All things being equal larger filter offers less restriction to air flow.
Simplest is lighten the roller wieghts. Try and find your optimum power v revs online somewhere. Then use roller weights to get your scoot to hold the revs the longest.
I’m with you! Have a wolf rugby and islander. Both Gy6 50cc. No videos or parts specifically for the 50cc Gy6 modifications. And I’m not certain the mods for the 150cc will work On the 50cc. I emailed rolling wrench sometime ago requesting a video on insight on the 50cc mods. Have not seen any videos posted yet. Keep me posted.
@@colonelqb5 on some variants, there's a wire running to the cvt casing, it's a kind of restrictor, measuring the rpm from the flywheel. There are some cdi's out there, there's a few 50cc scomadis around my way pushing 50 mph.
Re: "smoothness" of a cv (constant velocity carb) A straight slide carb will require the rider to tune their throttle wrist. If engine rpms are low and the throttle is snapped wide open abruptly the speed of the air through the carb drops and it no longer picks up fuel. That is the situation addressed by the CV carb and it's secondary vacuum operated slide. "Snappier" throttle response can be obtained with a CV through various methods, the most common is drilling out the port on the bottom of the slide that passes vacuum (engine demand) to the top of the diaphragm (thus lifting the slide)
This videos gold, I got a 150cc & I needed help on gaining a lil more knowledge about the performance parts needed to make my scooter quicker and better, but wish I could’ve get you to work on my scooter I’d even pay extra. Thanks bro really appreciate this vid.🙏🏾
I'm 70 years old, so it's cool to see kids who area interested in this mechanical stuff,,,,so many today don't seem to care. But.....you need to warn/ advise kids how it is necessary to do combinations of these at once, or risk overstressing the base design.
Thanks for the informative session,much more informative than my whole semester's session.. Thanks for the informative session,much more informative than my whole semester's session..
So my biggest problem with the 150 cc scooter was hills. I am still learning about all the mechanics, but theoretically, the best things to alleviate that would be increasing airflow and upgrading the CVT (maybe big more kit too) right? Dont need a higher top speed so no new gear is required, and I dont need to start up faster so I dont think the diaphragm-less carb is needed.
i think you need to decrease your transmission ratio by using light variator weights and soft clutch springs. I've done it on my BWS 50, 4.4g variator weights, and the polini clutch who is adjustable. I lost only 9% of top speed in hill with this setup!
I've got a 2023 Wolf Rugby II Still a beginner when it comes to scooters. It's a 150cc GY6 157QMJ long case from what I understand. The dealer sells them with performance carburetor I think 32mm. Don't know what weights they come with in them or stock gearing. Wondering what are the best and usually cheapest modifications I can do to this specific model if you have ever had the opportunity to know one. Exhaust, air filter, final gears, spark plug, or do I need to go deeper and do a cvt upgrade, spring, clutch, roller weights, etc, or even deeper upgrade bore size and camshaft. What's the best easiest combo to boost my power? 45-50 on flats 6k rpm . 55-60 downhill 7-8k rpm . 35 maybe 40 mph uphill 6k rpm. Thanks for your help and advice!
Hey my friend I just wondering i putting on a 171 bore kit an the a9 cam how much is that good clutch that last one u was talking about like a motorcycle clutch
I own a 2009 Scoot Coupe with a GY6 150cc. I want to eliminate the airbox, add a better carb and air cleaner, and possibly the clutch system. I'm 230 pounds and my wife is around 150lbs. I want to learn GY6 now. Is it a breed of engine and trans combined like a GM motor of different sizes that will fit in most GM cars vs. Ford motors, etc,? I think I could have some fun with this set-up. Are all GY6's created equal? If I find a Ruckus or Honda Elite with a GY6, can I transplant it to my 3 wheel cart within reason considering size restrictions? What are the best vehicles to scavenge for to find the best GY6 set-up? I spose many people throw out vehicles with larger displacement GY6's often and I could probably find a nice one for pennies on the dollar that might need some work. BTW, I believe mine would have the long case since I have 13" tires. Thanks.
Dude so impressed one hell of a video coming up I'm going to be talking about a new carburetor apparently you guys got it down you got a lot of stuff coming everybody wants to see that Turbo and I also have you guys on Instagram appreciate the videos brother it helps us all tremendously
I'm looking to get a 150cc . These 50cc gy6 engines Don't have enough output to satisfy my brain in it's false sense of danger going slow. I somehow feel more secure at higher rates of speed.
Jerome Devigne when I commented this I owned a Znen R8 50cc scooter that maxed out at 20mph. Now I own a Vento Triton 2 stroke 70cc that goes 50+mph. I upgraded the carb adjusted the needle to a richer mixture and re-jetted it.
My GY6 150CC keeps melting belts. I've replaced the variator, weights, clutch, torque spring, clutch springs, checked alignment, checked ventilation, checked case clearance, watched the belt operation with the case cover off and it works perfectly. I use high quality belts and they are the correct size. Go drive around for 5 or 10 minutes and the belt is toast. ....it is so frustrating!!!
Im from the phillipines i have a gy6 scooter i would like to change my gearing where can i order it. I always watch your videos more power and thanks for all the infos.
A slightly shorter cvt belt = the poor mans final drive ratio change. The belt rides quite a lot lower on the rear pulley at higher engine speeds, massively lowering the rpm vs mph. Tried it on a 139qmb engine once and with the right power upgrades, would have seen a big turn of speed, without over revving. As it was, it became more of a cruiser that couldn't exploit the engines power at higher rpm's. It never got there... Cool video.
😳🤔Now is all this stuff you are showing us in this video just for bigger motor scooters?Or will some of this stuff work with a 45 or 50CC scooter motors?I have a 2013 Tomos nitro scooter .🤔So would any of this stuff 🤗 work for my scooter?
there is also a stright intake manifold that can increse hi rev performace by a loooooot , but the down side is since the manifold is stright , u need o cut a hole in ur trunk to fit it , but believe me it was worth the try , especially one wit big bore kit
What about the cooling fan upgrade and also lightening the flywheel on the stator. Most machine shops can lighten a flywheel and give ya more bottom end snap.
I want to thank you for the amazing information you provide to your viewers. This is top-notch informative material. I appreciate all of your efforts. This is some of the best content on this topic. Many thanks!
Nice little bit of info although spark plug wires have resistance and its not all the same and larger gauge doesn't always mean better your looking for least resistance. Do admit EFI vs carb is a hard choice now given technology available.
I got a chuckle when he said that about thicker cable giving a hotter spark. No, a thicker plug wire just has better insulation. Unless the conductor inside the wire is larger, there won’t be any difference in spark.
hi there, for the 171 bore up kit(for 150cc efi liquid cooled gy6 scooters[ex: modern honda click/vario 150i scooters]), does adding high flow oil pump is required? or can I just swap to a bigger radiator or just simply do nothing at all? let's assume I will be doing cross country touring. mostly high speed & 10hrs straight non stop rides? thank you
my understanding is above a 180cc big bore kit has to have an oil cooler. I think you should be fine. I am running 180cc no oil cooler or radiator, and I am fine without the high flow oil pump too.
@@jamesturner1935 Thank you James! updates: i went with a 51mm boreup(160cc from 150). no noticeable in top speed just 5% increase. but the acceleration is much noticeable even with 20kgs rice sack loaded. it can still push the bike to 100kph with no problem. should have went with the 61mm bore(180cc). i think the honda engines are build to handle the power. but a famous local mechanic/scooter racer said any higher you can't do high compression unless you make a custom compression release thingamajig(forgot the term). because the starter will have so hard time turning the engine to fire due to high comp setup.
Just changing the oil in a GY6 to AMSOIL synthetic four stroke scooter oil will up the top speed from 32 to 40mph in a 50cc. The mpg improves from 83 to 94mpg as well.
Adding the breather tube in place of the dipstick, is there mounting that’s functional while the moped is doing wheelies? Oil trapped in tube would obviously not be great🤷🏽♂️ looking for small upgrades to retain reliability on my “fun machine”

A great addition to anyones small bore line up they look great next to my scooters lol would love to see what you would build
@RollingWrench - If I get a big bore kit for my 1P39QMB 50cc moped will I have to get a motorcycle endorsement? In my state (MI), if your moped/scooter is below 50cc they do not require you to get a motorcycle endorsement, or put insurance on it, or even require you to wear a helmet. But if I get that kit & I get pulled over or a police officer sees that it's not a 50cc anymore, won't I be liable?
Hi from England ! Love your videos. I have a question. I have an AJS Modena 125 cc which has a GY 6 engine. Can you tell me if the engine needs any timing adjustment for the spark or is it factory set? Many thanks. Keep up the top work informing us.

Wow - I am new to scooters and I find them fascinating but mostly just cool, particularly from an engineering standpoint. I have watched a lot of videos but this one beats them all! Honest advice from a dedicated professional - very rare but very refreshing. I only have a Vespa LX50 but it is interesting all the same. Will - UK.
I have a 250 go kart with a it had a gy6 motor on it with reverse and it has a double chain on it and I can't find anything for my it's a 2 seater. where can get a engine for it at?
I put a small turbo on my GY6 in 2015. The only problem was the boost would hold open the exhaust valve and bend the valve while tuning. Anything over 4lbs of boost had to be blown off. For the added weight. It wasn't that much of an increase to warrant the extra weight.
Interesting stuff. Here in Europe these 4 stroke motors aren't really modified ever, everyone's just modding their two stroke scooters. Seems to be the exact opposite over there in the US.
Back in the day 2006 used to convert a 125cc kymco G3 to a 4-valve sohc and 150cc bigbore.. just the sound and power of a 4 valve head rips.. don't know if that 4valve kit is still available in taiwan
KD Customs I was able to get an 2019 Icebear Maddog for $1200 wit 3800 miles, which is a good deal where I’m at. I found parts are cheap, a new gy6 engine is between $200 and $500.

On my scooter, the only electrical wires i see is a small plastic connection with 2 small wires that plug into a solenoid that screws on top of the carburetor. It appears the wiring connection on the EFI i see in your video has 4 wires
Lol funny all the assumptions with "Chinese" scooters... seeing how they junk lets race pinks ill even go best of 3. Match class base on stock bore size..

Oh and i also had a GY6 with a Big Bore Kit too , those are called Rex RS 450 in Germany but i didn't like it , especially the flimsy Stock Shocks.. Im suprised that people like those GY6 Engined Scooters in America because in Germany they're called "Baumarkt Roller" which could be translated to "Home Depot Pedal Scooter" because they were exclusively sold there and only run 20-25km/h and probably break within in a Week :D
@@pacman6169 Them being cheap is why they are popular... one reason. They are known as junkbikes here, too. They are kinda high maintanance, too. But the engine design is simple and easy to work on and aftermatket is about as strong as any two-stroke scooter. I had a Taotao Quantum 150 that ran 65mph and the shocks are shitty. Me and my at the time fiances combined wieght was over it's limit and eventually the rear shocks broke in an amazing way; the tops of both broke. The rods snapped free of their upper mounts, shot out the shock bodies, through the coil springs and mysteriously dissapeared. We pulled over and I picked the back of the bike up and it was sitting on the springs, shock rods nowhere to be found. I like them, though. I can work on them. The 250cc models are usually running a Honda 250 Helix clone engine and are watercooled. The 150s make typically 9hp. The shop I worked at, had a stock 150 that was a big 50cc/125 chassis that would pop wheelies if you yanked the throttle.

Ill restore the 50cc later on with big bore and what not. Im putting a 150 gy6 on there. Can i do the gear up kit on a stock 150 or do i need to do a big bore kit before the gear up? Im not totally sure if im doing a big bore kit or keeping it stock CC and just adding upgrades

I upgraded my 50cc tao tao with a 100cc big bore kit and changed the variator weights now I need to upgrade the carb, cdi, coil, muffler and I did put the new spring in the clutch that came with the big bore kit it runs great with good take off but top speed of 45 and I have to throttle it pretty high to get it going when pulling off at a stop light so I just need to upgrade all these things to high performance parts i will be ordering them from you if you will tell me what i should do sir??
Have you ever checked the spark advance curves on multiple cdi boxes? I have found them to be wildly inaccurate. I also have seen on multiple gy6 engines that the keyway cut for the crankshaft and the "bump" on the outside for the igition trigger to be not all cut the same or in the same places and it changes the timing alot. Also, to you ever get bikes where the oil dipstick lies? I never trust them. I fill them with the recommended capacity and some sticks say over full and some say under full. The crankcase breather I think is a must!! Not sure what brands you work on, but I work on every one that comes to my shop. Im the only one it a town with 4 collages that work on them so I see many mopeds and these things I have found to be so inconsistent.

The variator weights are the easiest mod for improving performance. They allow your motor to actually get into it's "power curve". My scooter was only capable of about 30-32 MPH with stock variator weights. Replacing them with slightly lighter weights allowed it to make 42-45 MPH. I usually run it around 35 MPH but the extra speed is nice to have available in case I need it.
Hmmn. I thought you would want heavier weights to squeeze the variator Tighter causing a higher front gear. How does that work??
@@wadeadams2775 Heavier weights throw out the front pulley at a lower rpm Thus bogging down the engine before it can get into it's power curve. Which is like taking off on a 15 speed bike in a high gear.

Well done! Your videos are head and shoulders above any of the other GY6/Buddy 125 content I've seen. The info is concise, accurate, accessible and entertaining. In addition, the parts and kits look to be about the best available to the market, and you certainly know what you're talking about.
So...with all of that said...I went and got a 2008 Genuine Buddy 125 today from a seller in Denver. It runs, but it is pretty beat up. (I traded a drone for it.) The previous owner bought it from a police auction, and he thinks it was most likely a joy ride victim. I am the type of person that looks at motorized machinery as art, so I see beyond the dings, dents and cracks. I also do not own anything that I do not modify. :)
My goal is to transform this scooter from its current condition into a custom, show-worthy, ass-kicking little bike. After having watched a whole slew of Buddy 125 videos that really didn't offer much in the way of information or inspiration I found your channel. I'm really glad that I did. I now have a much clearer idea of what some of the possibilities are.
Since it is currently February, and it's not going to be much fun to ride a scooter for several weeks I am thinking about doing a sort of "frame up" restoration on this bike. During this process, as I progress from scooter newbie to proud owner of a badass Buddy scooter. I plan to document everything on video and in a blog. I am a professional cinematographer, and former journalist. I love discovering new stories to tell, especially those which involve internal combustion and smoking tires.
When I restored my Miata from "squirrel nest" to "wow dude" I did almost everything with basic tools in my driveway, and without much to work with besides elbow grease and profanity. Fabricating parts was difficult to say the least. I didn't have a lot of fabrication capacity to work with, basically a drill press, belt sander and hand tools. That has changed, drastically. I'm now a member of the local #Makerspace, so I have unlimited access to a whole array of tools, machines, resources, etc.
The Makerspace opens up a plethora of customization/restoration options for this project. I can machine parts on the CNC mills/lathes, print them on one of the 3D printers, laser engrave, vinyl cut, lay carbon fiber, electroplate, weld, etc. etc. I know that having this type of fabrication capability will go a long way toward making this project amazing, but especially in combination with your body of knowledge, as well as the large array of top-shelf performance parts you offer.
Knowing that there are industry pros and an inventory of killer parts an hour north is comforting. Ordering parts from Amazon or whatever doesn't necessarily cut it when your project is important and has to be done right the first time. No one at Amazon is equipped to discuss carb jetting or tell you how to fine tune your torque curve. They have no problem selling you a part that either won't work for your project or just isn't that great. I always prefer buying from folks who know what they are talking about, and care about their customer's results.
I can see this project emerging as a story about the path from 'newbie with a basket case bike' to 'proud owner/builder of something incredibly cool'. The build process will definitely involve a few of the items in this video, along with many others I will discover on your website. I think that it's also likely that new parts and products could result from this project as it progresses. (I am also a design engineer.)
Anyhow....I live in Colorado Springs, CO, about an hour from you guys, and while I will most likely not be riding the project bike up to your shop while winter weather is here, I would really like to reach out to you during this project, and make your products, your company and your team part of the story.
Let me know if you' guys would like to chat about this.
Cheers!
Keep up the good work.
P.S. It is possible to fit a Genuine Buddy 125 into the back of a Subaru Crosstrek if you fold the seats down. :)
The buddies are great scooters! You can really wake them up! I would be happy to help as much as I can. When it comes to the actually genuine parts, I am not a dealer so that part get rough. Other than that, I can certainly help!

With even a few things modified, some for power and some for top speed...how do you protect from over heating/stressing the stock piston and cylinder ?
big bore kit
good oil and don't over rev
Thats what happens with air cooled engines.
Any reply
@@mikegerard11 as long as you don't buy a unrestricted cdi that allows the rpm to go beyond the norm, all of these upgrades should be just fine. Nothing extraordinary. Unless you were familiar with the bike, you wouldn't even notice these "upgrades". About all you can do without big bore kits and such is choose between more top end or bottom end and maybe add a fraction of a horsepower.
Hello, I have a problem, I have a Peugeot Speedfight 1 100cc that recently seized up/heat seized. It was not tuned. I then changed the cylinder, piston etc. It now starts up right away, but after a while it dies all of a sudden (as if you had turned off the key) and then I can start it right up again, this usually happens when I go over 60 km/h or uphill.
When I changed the cylinder etc, I also cleaned everything thoroughly, such as the carburettor, intake, new air filter, new fuel filter (there was no fuel filter before) new spark plug. I also removed the oil pump and put a metalplate with a gasket over the hole instead, I now mix the oil directly into the gasoline.
Some other info that might be important.
- When I drive over 60 km/h, it starts to make a noise from the variator (CVT), it´s sounds quite a lot.
- When it died, I tried to start it again while it was rolling and then it started right away, but it made a noise from the variator, like something "let go" that had been seized up, like a rubber sound, maybe from the belt.
- The variator belt touches the variator cover on the inside and has grinded a cut in the metal.
- In the variator, where the weights are, the belt does not go down to the bottom of the wheel.
- The clutch bell had turned blue from the heat.
- The place where the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft had turned blue from heat.
- There was no fuel filter on it before. But i now saw there is an internal fuel filter in the gastank, can it affect the vacuum if you now have 2 fuel filters.
Please help me.
Regards
Andree.
Thanks for the informative session,much more informative than my whole semester's session.
Can I add all these to my Kymco cobra 01?
Not so Pro Tip: if you don't want to fiddle with the weights in the CVT just remove three of the stock ones. Remove one and leave the opposite one directly across in. You will lose top end so only do this if you're playing around on hills and in areas that require more get to the gone instead of the gone.
If you have trouble reaching a high top speed with lighter rollers you can compansate for it with a bigger variator.
i have a gy6 200 cc engine in my golf cart. i believe the engine is bad. 14 hours old. it had a oil leak and i believe its seized up. I took the started off and i can make it turn with the key. But it wont turn the motor. i'm sad. Can the motor be rebuilt? And i want more power.
the golf cart is a 2021 vitacci Rover. 200EFI it was amazing.
I figured out that i the piston is stuck in the sleve. I will order the big bore kit and the head with the larger valves. it's an efi 169cc and i want any other performance mods.
Great video, just what I was looking for. Fantastic illustrations for the unknowledgeable to make sense of things. Will be doing business with you very soon. This is why you SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.

Big bore kit will add tons of power I have 3.
Hey man, I have the same bike. What mods did you end up doing? I'm considering upgrading to a 70cc cylinder kit.
Heyo, can anyone recommend some GOOD quality 50cc 4 stroke cylinders and pistons for a 139qmb qm50qt 6(A)? My Rex Scooter is burning oil BADLY since ive ridden it about 11-12k km, and ONLY doing wheelies on it, riding in the forests! Engines pretty much toast by now, it does have compression still, but not a lot! It still runs too, but i need to fill up oil before every ride! How much compression is it supposed to have? Thanks
@@Mr.Robert1 yeah been thinking about that for a while now, but everything else is still good, like the clutch, bearings arent noisy, variator is still good and many more things! Idk man...
"Continuous Variable Transmission also known as a CVT"... also known originally as a "Variomatic".
The system was created by the Dutch company DAF, also known as... "Van Doorne's Automobile Factory".
Yep. Snowmobiles used them for decades
About 30 years before that a guy adapted saw mill cvt transmissions into cars and about 500 years ago leonardo de vinci designed the cvt but only in drawings.
Very informative. One issue I am not sure of and that is the smaller air filter. All things being equal larger filter offers less restriction to air flow.
I have a wolfbrand 50cc. What can I do with it to get more speed and performance out of it?
I have a 50cc rugby. Want to do some upgrades myself. Can’t find anything anywhere about them
Simplest is lighten the roller wieghts. Try and find your optimum power v revs online somewhere. Then use roller weights to get your scoot to hold the revs the longest.
I’m with you! Have a wolf rugby and islander. Both Gy6 50cc. No videos or parts specifically for the 50cc Gy6 modifications. And I’m not certain the mods for the 150cc will work
On the 50cc. I emailed rolling wrench sometime ago requesting a video on insight on the 50cc mods. Have not seen any videos posted yet. Keep me posted.
@@colonelqb5 on some variants, there's a wire running to the cvt casing, it's a kind of restrictor, measuring the rpm from the flywheel. There are some cdi's out there, there's a few 50cc scomadis around my way pushing 50 mph.
Re: "smoothness" of a cv (constant velocity carb)
A straight slide carb will require the rider to tune their throttle wrist.
If engine rpms are low and the throttle is snapped wide open abruptly the speed of the air through the carb drops and it no longer picks up fuel. That is the situation addressed by the CV carb and it's secondary vacuum operated slide.
"Snappier" throttle response can be obtained with a CV through various methods, the most common is drilling out the port on the bottom of the slide that passes vacuum (engine demand) to the top of the diaphragm (thus lifting the slide)
PWK carburetors are a good move too for a snappy throttle
I want to buy one of those Turbos!
Me too lol
This videos gold, I got a 150cc & I needed help on gaining a lil more knowledge about the performance parts needed to make my scooter quicker and better, but wish I could’ve get you to work on my scooter I’d even pay extra. Thanks bro really appreciate this vid.🙏🏾
My scooters starter has a hard time turning over my stock 150 motor
I'm 70 years old, so it's cool to see kids who area interested in this mechanical stuff,,,,so many today don't seem to care. But.....you need to warn/ advise kids how it is necessary to do combinations of these at once, or risk overstressing the base design.
try changing the relais
Thanks for the informative session,much more informative than my whole semester's session.. Thanks for the informative session,much more informative than my whole semester's session..
So my biggest problem with the 150 cc scooter was hills. I am still learning about all the mechanics, but theoretically, the best things to alleviate that would be increasing airflow and upgrading the CVT (maybe big more kit too) right? Dont need a higher top speed so no new gear is required, and I dont need to start up faster so I dont think the diaphragm-less carb is needed.
i think you need to decrease your transmission ratio by using light variator weights and soft clutch springs. I've done it on my BWS 50, 4.4g variator weights, and the polini clutch who is adjustable. I lost only 9% of top speed in hill with this setup!
I second the lighter weights.
I've got a 2023 Wolf Rugby II Still a beginner when it comes to scooters. It's a 150cc GY6 157QMJ long case from what I understand. The dealer sells them with performance carburetor I think 32mm. Don't know what weights they come with in them or stock gearing. Wondering what are the best and usually cheapest modifications I can do to this specific model if you have ever had the opportunity to know one. Exhaust, air filter, final gears, spark plug, or do I need to go deeper and do a cvt upgrade, spring, clutch, roller weights, etc, or even deeper upgrade bore size and camshaft. What's the best easiest combo to boost my power? 45-50 on flats 6k rpm . 55-60 downhill 7-8k rpm . 35 maybe 40 mph uphill 6k rpm. Thanks for your help and advice!
Hey my friend I just wondering i putting on a 171 bore kit an the a9 cam how much is that good clutch that last one u was talking about like a motorcycle clutch

I own a 2009 Scoot Coupe with a GY6 150cc. I want to eliminate the airbox, add a better carb and air cleaner, and possibly the clutch system. I'm 230 pounds and my wife is around 150lbs. I want to learn GY6 now. Is it a breed of engine and trans combined like a GM motor of different sizes that will fit in most GM cars vs. Ford motors, etc,? I think I could have some fun with this set-up. Are all GY6's created equal? If I find a Ruckus or Honda Elite with a GY6, can I transplant it to my 3 wheel cart within reason considering size restrictions? What are the best vehicles to scavenge for to find the best GY6 set-up? I spose many people throw out vehicles with larger displacement GY6's often and I could probably find a nice one for pennies on the dollar that might need some work. BTW, I believe mine would have the long case since I have 13" tires. Thanks.

Wish i could mess around with all these performance upgrades for my 50cc gy6
not worth it does very little
@@leetaylor2280 u crazy
I'm looking to get a 150cc . These 50cc gy6 engines Don't have enough output to satisfy my brain in it's false sense of danger going slow. I somehow feel more secure at higher rates of speed.
You can . upgrades and carb tuning is fun and easy and well worth it. Start by removing any restrictions on the 50cc
Jerome Devigne when I commented this I owned a Znen R8 50cc scooter that maxed out at 20mph. Now I own a Vento Triton 2 stroke 70cc that goes 50+mph. I upgraded the carb adjusted the needle to a richer mixture and re-jetted it.
My GY6 150CC keeps melting belts. I've replaced the variator, weights, clutch, torque spring, clutch springs, checked alignment, checked ventilation, checked case clearance, watched the belt operation with the case cover off and it works perfectly. I use high quality belts and they are the correct size. Go drive around for 5 or 10 minutes and the belt is toast.
....it is so frustrating!!!
Have you replaced the clutch Pulley or just the clutch?
Drive it around without the cover and see if it still does it.
What do you mean??? All belts will lose rubber and stretch over time
@@Group_Anonymous Over the course of a few months depending, sure. Dude said belts are breaking within minutes... there is an issue.
That sounds like your clutch isnt spinning or somethin so your belt is just turning around a solid piece
Im from the phillipines i have a gy6 scooter i would like to change my gearing where can i order it. I always watch your videos more power and thanks for all the infos.
I've learned more on your videos than my local mechanic here in the Philippines 😂
Thanks man!!
Great to hear 🙏🏻💯
A slightly shorter cvt belt = the poor mans final drive ratio change. The belt rides quite a lot lower on the rear pulley at higher engine speeds, massively lowering the rpm vs mph. Tried it on a 139qmb engine once and with the right power upgrades, would have seen a big turn of speed, without over revving. As it was, it became more of a cruiser that couldn't exploit the engines power at higher rpm's. It never got there... Cool video.
😳🤔Now is all this stuff you are showing us in this video just for bigger motor scooters?Or will some of this stuff work with a 45 or 50CC scooter motors?I have a 2013 Tomos nitro scooter .🤔So would any of this stuff 🤗 work for my scooter?
I saw water cooling system and also tricked out mods for gy6 scooters, would you be selling any of them
there is also a stright intake manifold that can increse hi rev performace by a loooooot , but the down side is since the manifold is stright , u need o cut a hole in ur trunk to fit it , but believe me it was worth the try , especially one wit big bore kit
I have 150cc gy6 engine in my go kart do these upgrades still help
That is what I want to know
yes
What about the cooling fan upgrade and also lightening the flywheel on the stator. Most machine shops can lighten a flywheel and give ya more bottom end snap.
I want to thank you for the amazing information you provide to your viewers. This is top-notch informative material. I appreciate all of your efforts. This is some of the best content on this topic. Many thanks!
I really appreciate the support
Soooooo sick Matt. Looking forward to the turbo kit outcome.
Thanks dude! I appreciate the support 🙏
Nice little bit of info although spark plug wires have resistance and its not all the same and larger gauge doesn't always mean better your looking for least resistance. Do admit EFI vs carb is a hard choice now given technology available.
I got a chuckle when he said that about thicker cable giving a hotter spark. No, a thicker plug wire just has better insulation. Unless the conductor inside the wire is larger, there won’t be any difference in spark.
What? No alcohol injected turbo nitrous fed option!
hi there, for the 171 bore up kit(for 150cc efi liquid cooled gy6 scooters[ex: modern honda click/vario 150i scooters]), does adding high flow oil pump is required? or can I just swap to a bigger radiator or just simply do nothing at all?
let's assume I will be doing cross country touring. mostly high speed & 10hrs straight non stop rides?
thank you
my understanding is above a 180cc big bore kit has to have an oil cooler. I think you should be fine. I am running 180cc no oil cooler or radiator, and I am fine without the high flow oil pump too.
@@jamesturner1935 Thank you James! updates: i went with a 51mm boreup(160cc from 150). no noticeable in top speed just 5% increase. but the acceleration is much noticeable even with 20kgs rice sack loaded. it can still push the bike to 100kph with no problem.
should have went with the 61mm bore(180cc).
i think the honda engines are build to handle the power.
but a famous local mechanic/scooter racer said any higher you can't do high compression unless you make a custom compression release thingamajig(forgot the term). because the starter will have so hard time turning the engine to fire due to high comp setup.
all I can say is WOW ... Thanks for video
Just changing the oil in a GY6 to AMSOIL synthetic four stroke scooter oil will up the top speed from 32 to 40mph in a 50cc. The mpg improves from 83 to 94mpg as well.
I'm new to scooters can u explain what parts are compatible with the 50cc
at 3:20, isn't there already a PCV system installed going from the valve cover to the air box/intake making this 'mod' redundant?
Yes there is a stock breather. This isn’t enough if you are looking for performance, especially when you start boring the engine.
@@RollingWrench thank you for the reply!

@RollingWrench - If I get a big bore kit for my 1P39QMB 50cc moped will I have to get a motorcycle endorsement? In my state (MI), if your moped/scooter is below 50cc they do not require you to get a motorcycle endorsement, or put insurance on it, or even require you to wear a helmet. But if I get that kit & I get pulled over or a police officer sees that it's not a 50cc anymore, won't I be liable?

I put a small turbo on my GY6 in 2015. The only problem was the boost would hold open the exhaust valve and bend the valve while tuning. Anything over 4lbs of boost had to be blown off. For the added weight. It wasn't that much of an increase to warrant the extra weight.
Good to know. I know it’s going to be super difficult! I have some things up my sleeve

No forward or reverse but the belt looks great and the chain is fine what could be the problem?

Oh and i also had a GY6 with a Big Bore Kit too , those are called Rex RS 450 in Germany but i didn't like it , especially the flimsy Stock Shocks.. Im suprised that people like those GY6 Engined Scooters in America because in Germany they're called "Baumarkt Roller" which could be translated to "Home Depot Pedal Scooter" because they were exclusively sold there and only run 20-25km/h and probably break within in a Week :D
@@pacman6169 Them being cheap is why they are popular... one reason. They are known as junkbikes here, too. They are kinda high maintanance, too. But the engine design is simple and easy to work on and aftermatket is about as strong as any two-stroke scooter.
I had a Taotao Quantum 150 that ran 65mph and the shocks are shitty. Me and my at the time fiances combined wieght was over it's limit and eventually the rear shocks broke in an amazing way; the tops of both broke. The rods snapped free of their upper mounts, shot out the shock bodies, through the coil springs and mysteriously dissapeared. We pulled over and I picked the back of the bike up and it was sitting on the springs, shock rods nowhere to be found.
I like them, though. I can work on them. The 250cc models are usually running a Honda 250 Helix clone engine and are watercooled. The 150s make typically 9hp. The shop I worked at, had a stock 150 that was a big 50cc/125 chassis that would pop wheelies if you yanked the throttle.

I have Pony 50. I have (not installed yet) Glixal 47mm head with 69mm valves, 69mm rocker/cam holder assembly, and 47mm cylinder, what is a good cam for this bbk setup? Can i use the performance A9 cam, or do I need a cam specifically for a bbk

Hi I am looking at getting a Peugeot v clic with gy6 and want to do stuff without really removing replacing stuff as had issues with my previous 2 bikes (2 strokes) so have no clue what to do
I got a 50cc Chinese knock off of a ruckus trike and I want to get the most out of it I can I just did a CDI and a performance coil I'm not really planning to do a big bore so what gearing ratio would I use to get the most performance on takeoff and top end
I am working on repairing my GY6 as it stopped starting and the kick start doesn't work. I believe a gear in the kick-start box is loose and does not engage. It may need to be pressed further back, maybe with the press you mentioned. Is that possible?
Hey I have a pocket bike that I want to work on and it has a cvt gy6 engine on it the bike is called venom r22x but I want to make it a little more powerful and idk astetics but everyone says to get rid of it. Any advice?
Good evening guys. So im working on my very first ruckus progect. Its actually a clone made by dong feng with a very bad 50cc motor. Lets just say im buying this whole thing for 200 dollars. Ill restore the 50cc later on with big bore and what not. Im putting a 150 gy6 on there. Can i do the gear up kit on a stock 150 or do i need to do a big bore kit before the gear up? Im not totally sure if im doing a big bore kit or keeping it stock CC and just adding upgrades
I have a taotao racer runs then shut off can you tell me what the problem is
I really dont know much about this stuff and could use a bit of help. I have a 50cc scooter i got pretty cheap. But its to slow for traffic speeds on our side roads. Im a 200 pound guy and our sideroad speeds are generally 45. What mods can i make to get the scooter to go 45 with breaking the bank so i can keep up with traffic.
Another great video, thumbs up, never knew what the GY 6 was to today?
So i have this Chinese 2 cycle, 50cc motor scooter with a carburetor. It stopped running after only 150 miles. My question is if i replace the carburetor with plug & play fuel injection kit, i must also replace replace the fuel pump???
I have a Peugeot speed fighter 50 4 stroke 2022 plate what size rollers do I need to give it more power off the mark and top end please ?
I upgraded my 50cc tao tao with a 100cc big bore kit and changed the variator weights now I need to upgrade the carb, cdi, coil, muffler and I did put the new spring in the clutch that came with the big bore kit it runs great with good take off but top speed of 45 and I have to throttle it pretty high to get it going when pulling off at a stop light so I just need to upgrade all these things to high performance parts i will be ordering them from you if you will tell me what i should do sir??
Would the Reveno clutch kit work well in a go kart or is that more for a scooter?
Have you ever checked the spark advance curves on multiple cdi boxes? I have found them to be wildly inaccurate.
I also have seen on multiple gy6 engines that the keyway cut for the crankshaft and the "bump" on the outside for the igition trigger to be not all cut the same or in the same places and it changes the timing alot.
Also, to you ever get bikes where the oil dipstick lies? I never trust them. I fill them with the recommended capacity and some sticks say over full and some say under full. The crankcase breather I think is a must!!
Not sure what brands you work on, but I work on every one that comes to my shop. Im the only one it a town with 4 collages that work on them so I see many mopeds and these things I have found to be so inconsistent.
Are you saying that some are keyed retarded or advanced from normal?
Is the kymco like 50i a gy6? It's a fuel injected 50ish cc engine.
Which of these will fit a Honda Elite 250? Its a gy6 engine but I have a hard time finding info on mods.
