I have a 2009 Q Link, Commuter 250, the Helix clone. I have had it at 76 mph, dead stock and me 215 lbs. I love it and I paid $1,200 cash about 5 years ago. I love it to death. Ft. tire blew out two years ago at 55 mph. Shattered my rt. leg. Going back to riding it this year. I can't find parts anywhere though! Particularly a plastic kit! Can anyone help me out??

I had a 09 cfmoto clone of a Honda helix I bought for 300. Put it back together and rode it for 6 months. I had it up to 75mph here in central florida. I guess I did it to much to often. I blowed the rings on piston. It lost power but kept running, and I limped home, about 2 miles. Then it pucked out back through the intake and air cleaner. Oh well it was a blast for a while.

Nice video, Im getting a 95',,,,what tires do you recommend? I see the rating on these tires are J which is 62mph, I will be riding on streets, also, what size rollers or sliders do you think give this bike best performance? Any other tips to get maximum performance from it? TY

@psalm2forliberty577 Жыл бұрын
Get a higher rated tire. Not sure wheel size here. On my 2006 Burgman 400, I just installed rear Pirelli Angel Tire in 140/60-13, it's doing amazing it's better rubber vs the Shinko (Korean) that I had prior. Pirelli is legendary quality. On Variator upgrades look into Dr Pulley sliders in place of rollers. I'm sure videos here show recommend upgrades.

the speed of a tortoise is 0.65mph and the top speed of a helix is around 75mph, so this helix was going 119 times faster than a tortoise 🐢. Hyperbole? I hardly know her!
@jnbfrancisco3 жыл бұрын
I got one of these to show 81. Checked the speedometer at 50 mph with a GPS. It was reading 1 to 2 mph high. So I was really doing about 78 mph. Not bad for a scooter with 37,000 miles. I think a worn down front tire is the cause of the error. I'm going to do the math for an increase in measured tire rotation due to a smaller diameter worn tire.
@JustClaude132 жыл бұрын
Mine was also about 2-3% high. I think that's normal for these bikes. Most vehicles actually read about 10% off, although the odometer is pretty accurate. i think the error is deliberate to make the machines seem faster than they really are.

@psalm2forliberty577 Жыл бұрын
Try to get a higher rated tire if possible. A Pirelli Angel Scooter Tire is great quality / higher rated. If you're light or lightly loaded just back off on air pressure. I'm running at 30 psi tire says it COULD handle 587# @ 33 psi cold. But my Burgman 400 Scoot weighs 420# + 200# rider = 620-650# (add cargo) but over 2 tires that's gonna be 200#-ish on front, so rear = 420#. As that's a good bit below max load, I can lower PSI accordingly.

This bike is water cooled and the radiator is getting direct air flow at the nose of the bike. In regular city driving is when it runs warmest due to lack of air flow to the radiator. On highway it is getting maximum air flow and therefore maximum cooling effect.
