When stated in an order that is not even close to chronoligical it does seem funny.       Interesting he mentioned  Ritalin , as I had eluded to  ADD in a post which I deleted because I felt it was inapropriate.   

Truck serviced , 5th wheel hitched up , crappy weather forcast looks better now ,  May-long is here  and I am outa here.    Have fun twisting my words while I am gone.

Never said tire was good , never even mentioned the frame , never said CVT was good , never said CVT was bad , never said stem was not bent.     Have taken  DMBlues good and constructive advice to thoroughly check over the frame / welds / motor mounts.    Have never owned a Muscle car , unless you count the  72 Cougar I  had in high school .    Have never worked at wal-mart , or any retail for that matter.    I checked my lawn mower and my weedwacker and found that neither have a CVT.  A quick check through the old internal hard drive confirmed that I , in fact , have never owned any vehicle with a CVT , or worked on one for that matter.   Who said I was even the least bit concerned about what a  " random  ass h-le " "you"  had to say.   I just like to point out those kind of peoples errors.    I let the  record speak for itself to anyone who actually reads the previous posts.   I don't have a motorcycle mechanic , but brother in law does that for a living and also services  quads and snowmobiles.   To clear things up , when he was consulted about the Vibration ,  he felt the most obvious defect was the condition of the tire and sugested that as a starting point that was necessary anyways.   
You are right about  keeping a 5 year old happy though.  Congrats.     BTW : Moose is way better than Elk ,  and the Sulfur Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulfide  in  volcanic vents leaves a bad aftertaste , much like you.
Won't be posting again till after I try out the new tires.    Won't be reading either , as no usefull or constructive info has been posted since  05/12

You just won't stop trying to get on my who's  a douchebag list will you.    Go back and actually read the posts.     I may not have any experience with scooters , but I guarantee you that I have more experience rebuilding cars than you will in the near future.     As for being able to get your ass kicked worldwide  ,   well  ,  that kinda makes me feel inadequate and think all those years of University were such a waste.

For those of you who had constructive advice ,   I have taken the time to closely inspect most of the bike for damage.    The bike was laid down on some gravel in a corner , but very minimal damage.   ( I knew about this when I bought it )  ,   it had a few small scrapes on the right side plastic , and a very slightly twisted  steering stem.    Motor was fine , all I did was drain the old gas out of the carb bowl .    Had been hard starting for previous owner because the air intake tube that goes up to under the seat was missing , so when she rode in the rain it sucked  water and dirt up into the air filter.    Starts on the first turn over now , and rides perfectly fine with the exception of the vibration , which does seem to be coming from the rear wheel.    Very simply , I had discounted the possibility of the problem originating with the tire because , as posted ,  it did not seem to have a vibration when coasting.    Anyways , tire is ordered , will pick it up after camping on the May Long Weekend.     And , just incase someone (zombie) is wondering , I do infact know how to change the tire.    Just not sure how I will make it fit on my snap-on wheel ballancer.

Hmmmm , don't believe you to be clairvoyant , but the part right after that.......... apparently maybe.      What is wrong with  posing  a legit question to a group that  might just have a good answer ?   

 a friend who is a motorcycle mechanic had a look and swears that when I replace the badly worn rear tire all my problems will be solved.    Gonna order one tommorow.     Re : the frame  ,  It was not bent , at first I thought i had a bent fork , but when I took it apart I found that it was one side of the steering stem (triple tree )  twisted and holding one fork at a different angel.    Heated it cherry red with a torch , gave it a bit of a twist and reinstalled it.   Expected to have to do it a couple of times to get it right , but it was  perfect after the first try.   Just dumb luck.      The person I bought it off of was one of those who took it to a shop for  service and repairs.   I assume they have allready done some mods because  the rev limiter has obviously been removed / defeated.    She said it would go  95 km/h which is about  58 Mph.    I have had it up to  60 K / 40 mph  and still have lots of throtle left.   I am hesitant to  rev past  6500 rpm ,  don't want to blow it up ,  need it to ride to work all summer as my truck gets  horribly bad fuel mileage. 

Have wanted a scooter for a long time , just found a great deal on a 2007 49cc Kymco Super 9.   It was suposedly dead , but I got the engine running great in about  1/2 hour.  Had to repair a bent steering stem and now I am riding it daily.    Here is my problem.    When coasting down a big hill , everything is nice and smooth.   When traveling under power , there is a very noticible vibration.  It feels like a  very out of balance tire or a bent rim , but the rims are fine.    I suspect it is originating in the  CVT.     Could a worn spot in the belt cause this ?    I had the CVT cover off  and the outer clutch bell is not warped or anything.      I am pretty good with mechanical stuff , and probably could figure it out eventually , but I have never even looked at a CVT prior to this , so the opinions and expertise from others will be of great help.    thanks   GORD
