Michelin Pilot Street 2 review | 12” wheel Scooter
Why are you blaming the bike for the bolt you stripped using a ratchet?
That’s a scooter not a moped
@@mattstephen1420 your just a random commentator from the internet with zero influence on what is and isn’t. Not a professional critic 😂
@@davidhofinger4927 except I have both a scooter and a moped and I know what the difference is
@@davidhofinger4927 you stripped an aluminum bolt because you used a ratchet on it. You’re a moron
Lose the music
@@notyou-n3z No.
@@davidhofinger4927 what hood are you from? Lol poser
You look like Opie. You aren't gangsta. LMAO 🤣
They still have SA 88s? Thought they were outta stock?
@@ScooterMods he could be and he could be not you have to hit him up to see if he is or not
Hey bro how would a 16/42 final gear do with a gy6 80cc motor?
Make sure you fit the malossi power cam make a vast improvement 60mph plus
spoken down like a true professional good job. I prefer ram air. It kicka in at 12mph plus. gives it a nice cruising power
I’ve got a stock motor no big bore kit unlike my other scooter with the 100cc big bore kit. Can I use the a9 with the stock motor? Any supporting mods needed?
@@GsoNick yessir you can just plug and play an A9 cam with a stock motor. I’d adjust your valves to .4 on the Intake and exhaust though running a bigger lobe
@@davidhofinger4927 sweeeet good looks brethren✊🏼 I’ve already got the adjustable a/f carb and an exhaust hopefully with the cam and some cvt work I could push close to 50mph out of this thing
Where did you find the 52mm kit for the taotao? Need me one im over the amazon "100" kits lol
@@masonnuttall1869 right here brother Hit this guy up his name is Casey. He is a great guy. He’s a small business owner. He only ships out a few kits a month but it’s really good quality small batch stuff. facebook.com/share/pRHQeE1hotEKJb9r/?mibextid=LQQJ4d
Couldve spin the back wheel and electric start
@@LakituGaming the starter bendix is still thrashing itself around. I got the battery charged as of yesterday and have it in my possession, but I’m busy doing other life things so I cannot put it in and test it yet but I’m going to address this issue as soon as I have the day to do so.
Do you still have that tao pony? What was the top speed after all of the upgrades. and how was the reliability
@@hunterhilbert4559 oh yeah she’s still my daily too 50mph even. Performance wise? Very good. Everything else? Electronics, plastics, hardware, TRASH lol It’s still a Taotao
I don’t have. The money right now , has hot wheels worth more than a kickstart lol
@@BlakeCowen yeah I bought those wheels two years ago smart ass
the sound was probably the electric starter getting stuck and the engine was spinning it
@@Tomijus you’re the second person to say this and I hope that is the case I can take another starter. I have off of my third bike and put it on this one.
I would take the kicker case off after you get it running to see if anything is snagged, hitting or loose because somethingsounds like its banging
@@paladinallinone5520 I don’t know if this transmission can run with the case off. I don’t know if it is one of those bikes some of them cannot.
You gotta move the kicker angle so you can kick the bike over more. You dont have enough swing in the kicker to start it properly. I have the same bike and mine is alot higher up then yours.
Hey man, I really like your content and how you show that shits gonna happen even when you do pretty much everything right. Quick question: Where do you find parts that specifically fit the Vento Triton R4? I have one from 2004 and the only part that I’ve managed to find that was meant for the bike is part of the exhaust and the carb.
@@iamwaltercarter thank you I appreciate that I do not like producing content that is negative which has been the past couple videos unfortunately but a lot of shit does happen Click on this link right here it’s the website I use for this bike. You have the same exact bike as me exact everything on this page will fit your bike as well as mine. www.scootertuning.ca/en/1004-vento-triton-zip-50
Sounds like starter bendix to me. You need to sell one and buy a cheap jap scooter for transport. Having 2 project china scoots and no other transport is gonna frustrate you.
Brah i feel bad for this guy we should help send money to help him out with his channel
you should try starting it with the cover off and see whats happening, l think its the starter binding, maybe faulty cut geat teeth
Babe, this too shall pass. I love you.
Why u do open up the cover check it what’s go on
also is it normal for the variator to have that play in it? i dont remember mine doing it its happening mainly at low throttle im guessing its bouncing around when it at idle
@@melloWaffen my other bike does the same thing I’m at a loss for words of what the noise is exactly but it went away but now I cannot even start the bike until I charge this battery or get a new kicker This bike has shredded three kicker levers now 🤦♂️
@@davidhofinger4927 that sucks man, i forgot i heard the starter whirring when you were kicking it over, maybe the starter is going out 🤷♂thats why i like to keep stock parts like that, anytime i use cosmetic cnc parts the always have problems
@@davidhofinger4927 12:49
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
cant wait to build my Piaggio Typhoon, i wish scooter parts were'nt so expensive
My dudes in metro Detroit?! I just got a Vento r4 for the low looking to do a build on it I’m gonna be coming in hot w questions about the build if that’s ok w u? Would love to rip w u when I get it up n runnin
@@jeff6369 well she is good to go basically right now my two-stroke the same bike as yours. I just gotta put these new parts in the transmission on video here soon actually I don’t mind helping you out. I know quite a bit about these bikes from my bike inside and out. I don’t live in Detroit. I live close
@@davidhofinger4927 my dude I appreciate that! I actually hit the ground runnin today got the r4 torn down…which brings me to my first ? Is there an oil injection delete kit?
@@jeff6369 there is no kit for that. You just have to delete the oil pump by pulling it out and that’s it. It’s very simple. You don’t need to put any plate on anything.
Aaaah, here's the video with the answer i was looking for, i guess my Genuine RoughHouse Sport scooter is already like a "built" scooter, topping out at 50mph, so what happens if we put a 120cc or 170cc engine in such a frame and build it up? Is there a video for that? I wanna be taking off like a bat out of hell, popping wheelies, yet topping out at no less than like 80mph
So how much more top speed and acceleration does this get out of a 50cc scooter after all? I guess it depends on what gear ratio you go with that you spoke of in the end, but i mean, totally ignorant here, can we get me taking off like bat out of hell and topping out at around 80 or 90mph, or will i need to install a 120cc engine into the frame for that sort of thing?
Hey man im in mi and when i bought my bike got no bill of sale or previous registration / title what all would i need to get it registered
@@lewz3k I don’t know, brother I’m going through the same thing with my two stroke. I don’t know how I’m going to go about this, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be along the route of a dealerships title. I got my bike abandoned in a dealership, and there is a route to play to get a registration for it. I don’t know what your situation is, but if you got your bike and it was abandoned previously, you can register through the dealership.
@davidhofinger4927 it was a used bike and he said he'd never registered it I still have the Vin and he actually said he can write me a bill of sale hopefully that's enough for them cuz i got pulled over the other day lol
ok well that made it easy between the city grip 2 and the pilot street 2. If you want to fkn bomb around corners in dry pilot 2 if you want a nice all season tire city grip 2. Thank you im going to buy them right now!! 👍🏻
Bike looks good brother!!! 🇺🇸😂
Good content i want to upgrade my 100$ tao tao learning from you i need all the upgrades to make it past 50 mph video please 🙏
Shit was hillairious
I’m glad my suffering gives you joy lol No problem brother, watch my most recent video You’ll get a really good kick outta that one
what 80cc big bore kit did you get and where did you buy? i just bought that same scooter and want to do the same things you did my scooter
@@templrknight8072 Amazon special 47mm bore piston Like $60 online Type “139qmb 80cc big bore kits” On Amazon and you’ll find a ton no problem
@davidhofinger4927 Thank you, man. I have another question. Is it possible to keep the engine at 50cc stock and upgrade the carburetor and other item in order to reach roughly 40 mph to 45mph?
There is also "2 tdc"... You can install it 180 degrees uhh backwards Just it says t on the wheel with the line dosent mean your TOP dead center.. you need to make sure puston is at top instead of at bottom on cylinder This is very important
This was a video made in my infancy of Scooter modifying I wish I could’ve redone this video with the knowledge I have now but it is what it is and the point got across just fine so it’ll forever be here
Perfectly explained 😎
I love how the built scooter has a torque body twist like a dragster 😂
Strong bike , good results , great mechanick
Thnks
@@VisitorE.T. no problem
Why not just get a 125cc bike and slap on the registration of the 50cc? You can get those for 100-200 bucks
@@moonliteX I play the system by boring and stroking 50cc 2 & 4 stroke scooters Yes officer it’s a “50cc” scooter there’s my registration that cost me $15 lol
@@davidhofinger4927 yepp. I just bought a 80cc for my 4-stroke kymco i paid 200 for 5 years ago 🤣 had run it without oil so it started smoking. Did look for a similar 125/150 too to just slap the registration plate on from the 50 to get 50cc insurance. 125cc insurance here is like 5x as expensive. And insurance here is mandatory.
Explain brother
@@Ritzacracka in my state in America, the law in Michigan states “90cc and under needs no insurance or license to operate legally” 125cc or just 90cc and up License, tag, registration & insurance required. SO for dirt ass cheap I can highly modify my bikes all the way up past 90 without knowing because my title and registration sticker says it is a “50cc” Because that is what they started out as, especially my two stroke, which hits past 60 and beats modified 150 4 strokes if that says anything For nothing. It’s all a facade for the law but it holds up in court
Moa powa baby!
E X.... Exhaust. F S.
any of you know if it would be road legal in the uk?
Duuude congrats man!!!
@@masonnuttall1869 nice to hear from you brother, thank you I’m very proud and happy with the woman I never expected to find But I’m happy to be back here as well, with you guys
@davidhofinger4927 dude so glad to hear about the positives! Even happier to see you post ! Love the scooter content man, thinking I'm making a jump to a 2t bike this winter time for a nee project myself!
@@masonnuttall1869 the speed makes it ALL worth it There quick that’s for sure especially after Some proper mods
@davidhofinger4927 I've been looking on Mr motocompo I want some jdm.rareness ! Man I love the all white though exited to see what ya do with the tao tao last year I went to a 21mm pwk and what a change !! Just been doing body work this year mostly !

glad to see ur back brother! congrats on the marriage! quick question i have a 50cc taotao and im interested in puting a new variator as well for top speed, do those pollini ones fit most gy6 engines? or are they specific to certain kinds? and if so what could i use for mine to work correctly
Yessir I have a Polini variator on my taotao A variator is a variator as long as the splines match up Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I’m glad to be back.
@@davidhofinger4927 awesome, so is there any way for me to find out the spline count without taking it apart the bike before ordering anything?
@@PopesterRc you can look up the stock specifications on your bike online, but you have to find a very detailed list from a website that includes all of them Or you can look at a GY6 replacement variator And look at the specs on that for the spline But the best way to do it is to take it apart and look at it so you make sure you get the right one Yes, you can use name brand high end parts on these Chinese scooters Just match up the specifications
@@davidhofinger4927 ok cool, thank you brother! and good luck on the projects cant wait to see more
Bro, be careful with that copyright music man. Going to get your video taken down. And the brackets. I got a copyright strike for the stupidest crap. One time they threatened to remove my video
@@theejoeylee my channel is not even monetized anymore because I need to update my tax information. It’s not like I ever made anything anyways. I’m aware of the copyright stuff but I just don’t care for it when it’s a video for you guys I know I’m going to make a video that’s gonna get a lot of attention of course I don’t use good music, but it feels good to use good music for more personal videos like this one I’ll get monetized in time things are rolling consistently again
@@davidhofinger4927 but if you get three copyright strikes, they will take down your channel and you'll never be able to monetize it...
@@theejoeylee I have not gotten one yet. I don’t know if they even care because I had like 20 of them previously and I still got monetized. I’m just making good content for you guys. That’s all I care about. I really don’t care about money. It’s all good
The spark plug gap? We didnt see you calibrate and you also didnt mention it?🤔
Just use an NGK 4629 spark plug for a gy6 50cc motor No gap needed, stock gap works perfect as is brother
Leeetttsss gooooo!!!!!!!
@@josephstephenson1479 here we go brother back on track. I have not even showed you guys with a video of the stuff for the four stroke big parts big motor stuff. You already know what I’m talking about and focusing on getting this transmission built on this two-stroke.
Got married shi mane proud of you bro all love from Oahu Hawaii mopeds be crazy over here but js heads up you should look at the jets I heard that bogs that's why it sucks gas as well but mane I love your content
@@saimonemafi434 I have dropped the main fuel jets further than what it should be. I leaned the needle further than what it should be as well lol The only thing I could do is drop the pilot jet down one jet and I do have all that stuff, but the transmission is basically stock besides what we have in this video I need to give that thing some love and see if that makes a difference in anything first Thank you very much man. Glad to be back I do and I’m happy to make content for you guys. I’m just doing what I love and other people love it too. Isn’t that awesome? And hopefully, I can help people along the way
Congrats man welcome back bro 😎.
@@BilboBaggins-q8k feels real good to be back thank you man. I appreciate that.
Bro nice bike I’ve been looking for 1️⃣, I know thiers a scooter store shop in Michigan I know I like that bike like I said I been looking for one like yours and mod it for my taste iam not familiar who makes it . I miss my 98 Honda elite xr I crashed it and it was bad it was fast 💨 congratulations 🎉 to you man👍
@@ATOMSHAMRADIO thank you very much. I appreciate that. There’s one in my town I don’t know where you’re from. It sounds like Michigan. There are multiple stores in Michigan, but there’s a small one in my home city it’s all Chinese four strokes, but he has special two strokes in the back that he sells that needs some work but are very capable
@@davidhofinger4927 great to see you back
