Hey there GarageMedic, I got my Vitacci Vogue 150 3 days ago. Assembly was a bit frustrating since I didn't have a second pair of hands. But, everything went together fine. The biggest pain was the front cowling or apron. It took me the longest to install it. As you said in your video the mirrors are garbage. I got some on order from Amazon. I tried to remove the CVT cover to get the numbers off the drive belt, but, it's stuck and won't budge. There's like 8 or 9 bolts that need to be taken off, which I did,but no success. Have you removed the cover to your scooter's CVT? Do you know the belt size? Do you know the weight of the variator rollers? I like to change the clutch springs to 1000 rpm for peppier take off. As it is, it's too slow for the clutch to engage at 1700 rpm. I also like to order lighter weight rollers for more acceleration. Let me know if you have the answers to my questions, I appreciate it very much.
I think I heard you say you changed the shipping oil with motorcycle oil. Motorcycle motor oil is formulated differently than a car or scooter motor oil because motorcycle oil has the job of lubricating the motor and the clutch/transmission. Cars and scooters however, use a different oil for their transmission. In case of a scooter you should use gear oil like 75W-90 or 80W-90 for the CVT as you know already. On your next oil change use a 10W-40 OR 10W-30 car motor oil. Or, you can pay $22 per quart for a motor oil that has a photo of a scooter on it. The only difference between the two is that car motor oil breaks down faster in scooters, because scooter engines rev higher to achieve 50 mph, while 50 mph is nothing for a car, so a car engine doesn't rev as high, therefore the oil in a car can be changed at longer intervals. As long as you change your scooter's motor oil every 1500 miles, car motor oil should be just fine and they are cheaper than scooter-specific motor oil. I'm sure the scooter motor oil manufacturer will tell you differently so you'll buy their $22 a quart oil and they will also tell you to change your oil in your scooter every 600 miles. More money you spend on their oil, the richer they'll get. For the past 80 years people around the world have been using car motor oil in their mopeds and scooters. As long as people change their scooter's motor oil every 1500 miles, car motor oil should be fine and your scooter's engine should last you for years to come. Nice scooter by the way. I'm thinking of getting this model. Please keep us informed of it's performance. Thanks.
Yes but scooter oil and motorcycle oil are formulated for air cooled engines that tend to break down oil much more than car engines do. As far as that wet clutch formulation goes, it will have no effect on a scooter engine. One of the biggest mistakes I see is breaking in an engine with synthetic oil Wrong just wrong. rings will not seat properly. Break in an engine with conventional oil then at about five hundred miles you can make the switch to synthetic.
Hey, I'm thinking about ordering this scooter and the only thing that's making me hesitate is the wheels. The specs say the wheels are 10 inches in diameter and the tires are 90mm(3.5 inch) wide, but by looking at the photos on-line and watching your video make me believe the specs on the tires are wrong. They look too skinny to be 90mm (3.5") wide. They look more like 60mm (2.37") wide. Wider tires provide a more stable ride. Can you please measure and confirm the width of the tires? I appreciate it very much.
You won’t be disappointed. I have this same exact bike and same exact color and I love it. The engine is beast and it’s faster than the high performance bikes I have been on. Imo it’s the best bike I have ever driven
@@GarageMedicAre you serious about recommending the scooter? Do you have any affiliation to the company you got it from? I’m thinking about buying a cheap Chinese scooter, but I’m afraid of it breaking down. I don’t want to break down on the road while I work Uber Eats and DoorDash, so I’m looking at the entry level 2 wheel Hondas. I am very much intrigued by these cheap Chinese scooters, I must say. I’m following you. Please keep me posted. Cheers mate.
@losxlakers I have zero affiliation with the company. I wish i did! But i still have the scooter i used it as a gateway to get myself a cheap car. It still runs and performs greatm ive had over 100 scooters and will always recommend a gy6 /qmb engine 150cc scooter. No so much the 50ccs they tend to be more unreliable as they have to be wound out for any power.
It was $1,030 shipped to door. Sorry my brain wasn't working that day.
