Technical | How To / Re: Need routine maintinence advise, Kymco Cobra 2-stoke AC
« on: February 06, 2015, 12:48:03 AM »I would get the variator now. A set of 5 gram rollers too.
AND a belt.
The bike is old enough that I'm sure all that is toast. It wouldn't hurt to install a Malossi red or purple rear control spring to since your in there.
The oil is coming from one of three places. The rear seal behind the pulleys. The front seal on the crank shaft or the breather leading between the carb, and the air box.
The first two you have to pull everything out anyway so it pays to have the new parts ready to install.
The Cobra is a great ass bike. I really like them, and have been trying to get a racer from an old fart that won't let it go.
Anyway... Welcome to the forum.
We can help you locate the parts if you need. Where are you located? (so I can get your bike) No not really... Blue will.
Thanks, I'll definitely add a belt to the list and the variator since I'll be right there. But yeah the Cobra doesn't play, it'll get up and go right along with traffic. It's that 2-stroke torque. And that new variator would only help improve that.
BTW: I'm from Raleigh, NC so if you really want a Cobra it'll be for sale THE DAY I get my licence back...lol
