I think a tune would do you a world of good, these things are so leaned out to meet factory emissions it's not funny. I have no personal experience with him but based on other's reviews Jamie over at fuel moto is the man you should talk to

Here's the new modified scoot:

Captain Itch should solve the heat problem, it did for me.

Fuel Moto is in WI. Fully agree with Fat11lo, in that a tune will do wonders for you bike. It did mine!

Thanks

Did you know (not a secret) that when you drain the crankcase oil that there is approximately 24+ oz of old oil left in the case? There are scavenger products that you can buy that will get the extra old oil out (http://shop.roguechopper.com/product...-scavenger-kit) for $70. Sgt Jim mentioned a technique that does the same thing and it only cost me $13 total. This is what you need. Sears sells a quick disconnect fuel line tool for $8 (http://www.sears.com/lisle-ac-fuel-l...p-00946337000P). This is used to remove the oil return line. Then I bought some clear 3/8 tubing from Home Depot for $5. The process is simple. Drain your oil and leave the old oil filter on. When you add the oil, only put in at the most 2.5 quarts. Disconnect the return line, attach the 3/8 hose that goes into a collection container that has ounces (oz) marked on the side. I found an old drain cleaner bottle that I used, drilled a 3/8 hole in the top of it and fed the tubing in. Start the bike and watch the last bit of nasty oil get pumped out into your container ~ 30 secs of run time or at least 24oz. Reconnect the return line (pushes in and clicks when seated). Change your oil filter, then however much oil was pumped out, put that back in. Check levels and adjust accordingly. The website posted has a video of their process. The way I did it, I used the old oil filter as the "puck" per Sgt Jim.

Ok cool Thank you. Looks like I will be stopping by Sears and Home Depot tomorrow after work. Thanks you for the info and for saving me money.
