"I also lost the back cover on the muffler I'll see if the dealer will replace it."


   Yea i also just about lost the tip to my muffler as well, i was just walking by the scooter one day and noticed that 2 of the 3 screws were missing! lucky i cought it in time. If you have one of these scooters def check those screws often cuz ive heard of them falling off allot. 

Hey guys sorry it took me so long, college is crazy right now. I Put the scooter back together, the vibration is still there, so im going to head to the bike shop again and pick up more of those dyna beads after classes today. Oh! also now i have another problom, when the bike shifts into gear, it jerks forward, like the clutch is engaging really abruptly. It does it only when the bike shifts from neutral to in gear. Any ideas on what it could be?
    Thanks!! Ryan.
  I really appreciate your guys help!

Thanks a lot sidthesloth! I should check to see if the tire is seated incorrectly. If that doesnt make a drastic driffrence, I think i might just addTmore dyna beads in that tire since they almost dramticly decreased the vibration to begin with the first time I put them in, maybe that been my problom all along and i just need more weight. I did take the rim off with the tire still on, and took it to a friends house where we put it on a balancer, long story short my rear tire was def out of balance pretty bad but not horrable. good news is though when i have the scooter on the center stand and run it, the tire doesnt wiggle left and right.  Ill take a look at the scooter again tom  and try what you guys have been mentioning. Ill keep you guys up to date....While were on the subject, have guys ever heard of/used dyna beads? I was at a yamaha dealer and I told them the problom I was having and they reccomended them. I just wanted to know you guys think?
 
    Thanks again guys! Ryan

I have a Kymco super 8 150. I bought it used with 250 miles on it. I noticed that it had a vibration in the back somwhere, I thought there was an inbalance in the tire, so i put some "Dyna Beads" into the tire, and it helped, but it still vibrates and jumps up and down. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do? Im thinking about getting a new tire and see if that was the problom, i cant imagine the rim would be bent becuase i have never hit a curb etc..plus arnt those rims cast? Another thing, as i was taking the cvt cover off, there a long black house (about 12" long) and i dont know what it goes back into, i think its just just for airflow but what do you guys think? I can post a video on youtube or post some pics if somebody wants me to, just let me know
 

     Thanks so much guys!!!! Ryan
