« on: June 04, 2019, 08:49:57 PM »Well my problems with losing top speed happened about 2 months before I replaced the very bad belt! It was near breaking point. I also pretty sure the rpm's were high before the new belt and or new rollers. If I am wrong the rpm's were slightly lower but not by alot. So I am not certain but don't think so.
Bike is working better from what I feel and see!!! He said something in the back bushing replaced and wasn't moving. New heavier rollers. RPMs are lower but not like you all have but much better!! Feels smoother.

General Discussion / Re: KymcoPartsMonster.com no longer taking orders!!
« on: June 04, 2019, 08:47:18 PM »KYMCOPARTSMONSTER.COM is no longer selling Kymco parts.
I spoke with KymcoUSA this morning to confirm this bad news.
KymcoUSA recommends that we try :
www.Varsitycycle.net (WV)
www.Solanocycle.com (FL)
www.Leesonsarcticcat.com (WV)

Yup just spoke with them now and they will not refund the rollers they sent me that won't fit my bike at all. Very disappointed in this place. These rollers cost me 80 bucks to get them to me.

General Discussion / Re: Beware: Kymco Parts Monster
« on: June 04, 2019, 08:38:09 PM »Hi All
Just a heads up to beware when purchasing from Kymco Parts Monster http://www.kymcopartsmonster.com/
They also are affilliated to Polaris Parts Monster, Suzuki Parts Monster, Victory Parts Monster, Yamaha Parts Monster.
The contact email is parts@interstatecycle.com but you will not find this on their website because the customer service page has been removed.
I live in New Zealand and ordered a complete clutch and drum for my Bet & Win 250, using Paypal. I waited and received the goods 3 months later, but the clutch was wrong -it was for a 150 B&W. I tried to contact them for another 3 months - they initially responded and then...nothing. Paypal will not refund because it is out of the 45-day refund period.
I am now out of pocket by $250 AND I still don't have my parts. I have been mugged by these criminals. So beware.
Wow!! I to just been ripped off! Months ago I ordered rollers for my downtown and they sent me only 6 when there should have been 8 in the package. Just was at the garage and come to find out they don't fit my scooter at all!! I knew something was wrong with these people cause when I ordered them it took them forever to find out why I got the wrong part and they ignored me for the longest time and I just came home to go on the site to call them and tell them I want to return the rollers and want my 70 bucks back! Most of this was shipping!

« on: June 03, 2019, 10:31:16 PM »A slipping clutch would slow the speed while the rider would crank in more engine rpm. There are three brake shoe-lookin' things that are the clutch friction surfaces in connection wth that bowl-lookin' spinning thing with the six holes. That bowl is connected to the rear wheel through the gear box. What pieces do they have "just laying around" that will fix what they think is wrong with your clutch? Have you been having problems with the clutch engaging and getting you moving?
I have to idea Karl.
I have had not trouble getting moving. I lost top speed as you all know and my rpm's seem high. All I know is he said he found that the back clutch was not moving or something like that. It is never real clear to me.

Just walked back from the garage. Guess what! Bike needs help yup with the back part clutch? It isn't moving properly. He said this would cause the loss of speed. I asked if we needed parts and he said no he likely has pieces around that will work. What could be the pieces that need replaced inside this thing?

« on: June 03, 2019, 05:14:00 PM »Hooray! Hooray for original rollers! Additionally, that turning at idle probably indicates a need for a dab of grease on that needle bearing on the gearbox side of clutch.
Karl what is the original weight of the Kymco Rollers?

Oh if I only knew what your talkin about Karl I would put that grease on right now! I am bright but don't know the language.
I need to hang out with the boys at the garage.

Just brought the bike back to the shop. He wants to put in the Kymco rollers not the knock offs that are in it now. I was looking at older video's and noticed the rpm's were a little lower than what they are now. I also noticed that as time went on the rpm's went higher and this makes me think that maybe the ware in the rollers changed the rpm's and maybe putting back in the original rollers (new one's) it maybe come back to how it was from the start? Just me thinking here.

« on: June 03, 2019, 10:45:08 AM »Definitely. The transmission needs to be under load for a proper rpm test.
Report back your take-off rpm and rpms at various speeds.
OK gonna set up the camera to be on the dash properly.
Thanks.
