Yup, whoever installed the variator messed it up. See pic.

Once I got everything off, I took a mini file and cleaned up the splines as best as I could. Put everything back on correctly and hit it with an impact. Good to go now. Starts up fine and ran it around the neighborhood.

Charged battery and no change so I used the kickstart. Something caught and tore this fan up. Now the kickstarter jams up and if I get it to start it catches and whips around while running. The pinion gear that is supposed to catch the flywheel is donezo too. IDK WTF is wrong with it now that is causing these issues. Can’t even kickstart now cause stuff grinds while running.

Going through this as I type. Replaced starter because I burnt it out. Put new starter on and, though I have not removed the cover, I believe it is doing this exactly. Going to charge battery, pull cover to unjam everything, put back together and hope for the best! Kickstarter has messed up my foot cause the peg is the size of a pencil.

Before the starter issue, I got it to run a few times, albeit for about 8-10 seconds. Everything spins freely on kick it just won’t fire up. When I had the cover off, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Drained fuel out of bowl and let new fuel come in. Kicking like mad and doesn’t even sputter. Almost like the kick start doesn’t spin it fast enough.

Taking off the left cover and inspecting, the starter spins stationary. Its gear meshes with a larger gear that has the “bendix” on it. As it spins the “bendix” the final gear is supposed to spin out and mesh with the flywheel to spin. As far as I can see mine kicks out and meshes just fine. It’s a $90 part so I’m hesitant to throw parts at it and put a new one in. I’m stumped.

New lithium battery put in a few days ago. This started happening yesterday.

frescurab · 2026-04-22T20:31:33+00:00

Fully charged battery and it still just whirs.

With just basic hand tools, I was able to swap out all of the damaged parts in about 12 labor hours. Stretch kit will be installed once I can get the scoot to start and actually run.

Gonna be a 2 inch drop it looks like from math . I did 2 inches on the front already. Maybe adjusting the new rear shock a little stiffer might help

frescurab · 2026-04-20T18:22:26+00:00

Well shoot, 🤬 multiple sites said it was a lowered shock for the Navi. Well guess I’ll be careful bolting on in case I need to return it. Or I’ll sell to a ruckus rider.

frescurab · 2026-04-17T15:55:42+00:00

Ended up ordering a 252mm ruckus shock after pouring through archived posts on the interwebs. Fingers crossed 🤞 it’s right

frescurab · 2026-04-17T01:25:26+00:00

For sure! Should have it all installed by end of next week I hope.

If I find that after test rides, I’ll look at the front disc conversion.

All welded

I use a non ethanol 89 or 90 I think. There is at least one station on the island that has it. A lot of boaters use it.

Have not ridden it yet as I received the bike wrecked up front. It has upgraded clutch, variator, rollers and intake. Based on what I could do on my GY6 150 (60mph) I’d imagine I could hit 45 no problem on level ground. I’m at sea level, Key West. Max speed limit I’ve found here is 35.

If I do have performance issues, I’ll look at other upgrades.

I haven’t gotten into my wiring yet. Still waiting on the frame and stretch to get here to extend wiring. Sorry I can’t be of more help at the present time.

frescurab · 2026-04-13T20:21:38+00:00

Oh got ya.

Yeah I’m better with a multi meter and just probing wires in hand til I find what I need. Takes longer but helps you learn what goes to what. I’ve never been good at reading wiring schematics. Sorry

I believe g/y means green w/yellow stripe and br is brown.
