The variator weights are the easiest mod for improving performance. They allow your motor to actually get into it's "power curve". My scooter was only capable of about 30-32 MPH with stock variator weights. Replacing them with slightly lighter weights allowed it to make 42-45 MPH. I usually run it around 35 MPH but the extra speed is nice to have available in case I need it.

Well done! Your videos are head and shoulders above any of the other GY6/Buddy 125 content I've seen. The info is concise, accurate, accessible and entertaining. In addition, the parts and kits look to be about the best available to the market, and you certainly know what you're talking about.


So...with all of that said...I went and got a 2008 Genuine Buddy 125 today from a seller in Denver. It runs, but it is pretty beat up. (I traded a drone for it.) The previous owner bought it from a police auction, and he thinks it was most likely a joy ride victim. I am the type of person that looks at motorized machinery as art, so I see beyond the dings, dents and cracks. I also do not own anything that I do not modify. :)


My goal is to transform this scooter from its current condition into a custom, show-worthy, ass-kicking little bike. After having watched a whole slew of Buddy 125 videos that really didn't offer much in the way of information or inspiration I found your channel. I'm really glad that I did. I now have a much clearer idea of what some of the possibilities are.


Since it is currently February, and it's not going to be much fun to ride a scooter for several weeks I am thinking about doing a sort of "frame up" restoration on this bike. During this process, as I progress from scooter newbie to proud owner of a badass Buddy scooter. I plan to document everything on video and in a blog. I am a professional cinematographer, and former journalist. I love discovering new stories to tell, especially those which involve internal combustion and smoking tires.


When I restored my Miata from "squirrel nest" to "wow dude" I did almost everything with basic tools in my driveway, and without much to work with besides elbow grease and profanity. Fabricating parts was difficult to say the least. I didn't have a lot of fabrication capacity to work with, basically a drill press, belt sander and hand tools. That has changed, drastically. I'm now a member of the local #Makerspace, so I have unlimited access to a whole array of tools, machines, resources, etc.


The Makerspace opens up a plethora of customization/restoration options for this project. I can machine parts on the CNC mills/lathes, print them on one of the 3D printers, laser engrave, vinyl cut, lay carbon fiber, electroplate, weld, etc. etc. I know that having this type of fabrication capability will go a long way toward making this project amazing, but especially in combination with your body of knowledge, as well as the large array of top-shelf performance parts you offer.


Knowing that there are industry pros and an inventory of killer parts an hour north is comforting. Ordering parts from Amazon or whatever doesn't necessarily cut it when your project is important and has to be done right the first time. No one at Amazon is equipped to discuss carb jetting or tell you how to fine tune your torque curve. They have no problem selling you a part that either won't work for your project or just isn't that great. I always prefer buying from folks who know what they are talking about, and care about their customer's results.


I can see this project emerging as a story about the path from 'newbie with a basket case bike' to 'proud owner/builder of something incredibly cool'. The build process will definitely involve a few of the items in this video, along with many others I will discover on your website. I think that it's also likely that new parts and products could result from this project as it progresses. (I am also a design engineer.)


Anyhow....I live in Colorado Springs, CO, about an hour from you guys, and while I will most likely not be riding the project bike up to your shop while winter weather is here, I would really like to reach out to you during this project, and make your products, your company and your team part of the story.


Let me know if you' guys would like to chat about this.


Cheers!


Keep up the good work.


P.S. It is possible to fit a Genuine Buddy 125 into the back of a Subaru Crosstrek if you fold the seats down. :)

Great video, just what I was looking for. Fantastic illustrations for the unknowledgeable to make sense of things. Will be doing business with you very soon. This is why you SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.
😊💪👊

Steve from Annapolis Maryland 150cc GY6 project for the winter and keep up the good work you really got a lot of good stuff thanks

[joeschmeer]

Here is another horse power tip u can add to your collection, you install non resistor spark plug and a non resister solid copper spark plug wire and finally a high voltage capicator

[beckyunderwood]

By the way I am so glad I finally found you guys I can actual understand y'all. And no unnecessary chatter on things that don't even pretain.Ty

[ramakrishnanamit]

Thanks for the informative session, much more informative than my whole semester's session.

[ATL_]

This videos gold, I got a 150cc & I needed help on gaining a lil more knowledge about the performance parts needed to make my scooter quicker and better, but wish I could’ve get you to work on my scooter I’d even pay extra. Thanks bro really appreciate this vid.🙏🏾

[MojoMicah]

Saved
I definitely will be back to watch this a couple more times

[CamrynBarnes-fy]

Thanks for the informative session, much more informative than my whole semester's session.. Thanks for the informative session, much more informative than my whole semester's session..

[williamrafff]

Wow - I am new to scooters and I find them fascinating but mostly just cool, particularly from an engineering standpoint.
I have watched a lot of videos but this one beats them all!

Honest advice from a dedicated professional - very rare but very refreshing.

I only have a Vespa LX50 but it is interesting all the same.

Just found your channel today! Super psyched. Learned SO much. Carburetor assembly and adjustment. Man! What a godsend.

Gonna join. But I wanna shift out first of some other content I'm in on another channel. Not a money shortage but was having 🧠 fart about where/how to cancel and you helped me with that. 👍

I'm also a content producer ... underground for a BUNCH of years now. Ntn online yet, but mad production in the vault. Also learned a TON about setup and organization just from your quick intro talk. So thank for that too!

Man, maxing my 24 to get ev droppa juice poss. So I'll be back shortly, soon as I finish organizing. Til then ✌️

[JohnCalebWarren]

Absolutely loved the video! I'm new to the GY6 after picking up a 50cc for dirt cheap. Thanks for the quick easy down to earth explanation 👍👍

[DJMIC]

I've learned more on your videos than my local mechanic here in the Philippines 😂

Thanks man!!

[andyproctor]

Dude so impressed one hell of a video coming up I'm going to be talking about a new carburetor apparently you guys got it down you got a lot of stuff coming everybody wants to see that Turbo and I also have you guys on Instagram appreciate the videos brother it helps us all tremendously

[fernandeguzman]

Wow!!!! Idol i'm a Filipino BIG Fun of Rolling Wrench. i have a 125cc Chinese scotter GY6 engine. big knowledge about upgrading for my scotGY6....

[davidmizak]

I want to thank you for the amazing information you provide to your viewers. This is top-notch informative material. I appreciate all of your efforts. This is some of the best content on this topic. Many thanks!

[jerekalevijarvinen]

Im new to 50cc engines but they are incredably tunable.
Got a dead Sonik Yxhte for free a couple of days ago.

My 1p54fmi Pitpro dirtbike just so happens to have gone to bike heaven this weekend.
Aloooot of parts swith over.

With destrictions removed but a stock cdi, the ignition coil from the pitpro, the red NGK igniton cable plus hat, a iridium plug and most importantly!
The fuel/air mixture screw from the pitpros pz26 carb combined with a 12v24Ah battery(this by faaaar is the most performance giving).

It's pulling wheelies and spinning the back wheel.
Im able to hillclimb offroad with bald tires, little shits amazing!
Topping out at around 75 km/h on flat ground 😂

[raydreamer]

Wow I had no idea that there were many mods for the GY6 . Great video and I learned a lot. Thanks.
