The first post since a very long time of this forum being unavailable due to the solar storm! Just kidding, it was a vanilla technical issue. Fast 50cc mopeds are a topic dear to our hearts here, and we reckon the winner has to be the PGO Roughouse 50. If anyone has ridden the older PM-X 50, well th...

CDI and pulley on these models

Pulley by itself will add 10-15 km/h. Have a hunt on our online shop

Well we've had apparel on special now for a bit at our shops and we've heard what you've said - with all this brilliantly hot weather, you need less clothes, not more! So let's do a deal on tyres, 10% off them in store, and come sit by the fan while we change them...

see you in store soon!

as could be predicted, there are technical hiccups with the online shop upgrade. Until it is ready, please email or call us with parts orders:

Here's hoping it won't be long!

The online shop at http://shop.scootling.co.nz is going offline for its first upgrade, from now til 6pm NZ time.
And because tech upgrades always go so smoothly , we are pretty sure the online shop will be back up and running with a new look (a better one too, if luck holds) this evening.

Hope everyone enjoys their Christmas - remember to make the most of your break! Thanks for sticking around this year even though we had a few issues with the upgrade and floods of spam earlier in the year. Thanks to all the moderators and regular users - you've been great helps to us, the newbies to...

Aside from running at least 95 octane (98 better), just check it isn't running lean. It shouldn't, but best to check

Hey Guys, I'm looking at increasing the cylinder compression in my JOG by removing the gasket and replacing it with some copper spray, after a squish test of course. Do I need to worry about the compression ratio? We've got the Kitaco high comp kit for this purpose, it uses an ultra thin head gaske...

It's already selling in some markets so NZ should get it next year. However we have never stocked the old (current) model... the new one would have to be a big step forward.

As you may have seen in Forum Maintenance topic, I've just changed rego process to admin approval. So that will stop all spam registration in the meantime, while I work on another method which blocks spam registration while allowing real people to keep joining. Will update in the above forum as we p...

Yep I've just changed rego process to admin approval. So that will stop all spam registration in the meantime. Unfortunately for bona fide new users there will be some delay (0-2 days) until your membership is allowed. Oh and apologies to the customers who actually wanted cheap Louis Vuitton, Viagra...

I agree, can't do it all by myself. Volunteers welcome, please PM me if you are able to help.

Generally it stays clean but they come in spates, heaps in the last 2 days.

Some good diagnoses/assumptions made there so far :) If the main jet and needle are definitely OK, I would next look into the possibility of an exhaust blockage. Thanks, it's good to have a sanity check... 8) Hmmm...what I forgot to mention in my original post was that when it all the sudden just s...

A few guys who have scooters also own NSR and other manual minibikes, so you may find kindred spirits on here. Welcome!
