Building the fastest scooters in Texas: Garret's "Radly" Final Assembly (Part 4)

[@kingzacol98]

I need to see how these ride !

[@frednetherlands887]

Great! Good to see more attention for scooters as they are such a good alternative to cars and short trips.

[@hdcsp3]

Looks Badas* Good luck. Keep us posted on the standings

[@Scooter_911]

Will do!

[@four81]

Hell yeah! The Soup Sandwich would be proud

[@Scooter_911]

Haha truly "standing on the shoulders of giants"

[@fieldfabmetal]

Love this series! Happy new year to you & your family, as well as the Scooter911 crew. Also, that ‘3DRBBQ’ plate from your Pinto always makes me laugh. One of the best ever!

[@Scooter_911]

Hahah thanks my friend! That plate goes over a lot of people's heads so any time someone catches the joke i get an extra kick out of it! Happy New Year to you too!

[@itsmephil2255]

Well that was pretty cool to see, can't wait to see the racing videos

[@Scooter_911]

At this rate you'll only have to wait 6 more months hahah

[@itsmephil2255]

@@Scooter_911 well it's worth the wait, we don't have that kind of thing here in the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

Awesome you sell parts. I don't know how big the demand is, but upgraded performance parts for scooters is a potential niche market for you like NCY, because there isn't many out there. If you can hook up with a good American fabricator you'll have an American made parts selling point. Granted pricing will be an issue but it's hard to argue against good quality. Americans don't ride scooters daily like Europeans (except for me because I'm a weird American 😂) but honestly I think there will be more especially in urban areas. Keep up the good work, good luck racing and with the business.👍

[@Scooter_911]

Man I really would love that but you really nailed it with the cost of good old American parts. The problem with scooter culture in the United States is that people ride here mostly for the economy of the scooter, so expensive parts are a little antithetical. However I bet with enough digging there's some manufacturing facility in the Midwest that could crank out some great parts. After all the offenhauser intake on my pinto is still produced and costs less than $300. You could probably do 4 or 5 scooter top ends with that amount of aluminum!

Randomly came across this videos this is dope ! 😂

[@Scooter_911]

So glad you made it!

Gr8 way to start the New Year👍👍

[@drakeorion94]

I was hoping it was the Tao Tao...😢

[@Scooter_911]

Happy new year!

[@thisnameistaken]

But why did you never post a video of RIDING the fastest scooter in Texas?

[@CokieZip]

Hello, i just saw one of your older videos on a gy6. Decided to comment here doubting youd see the comment on the other video. My gy6 scooter just died. Fully died. Nothing i do fixes it. Yesterday i adjusted the valves and got it running. Changed the carb and intake from my old gy6 and it ran great. Like new. After about 3km of riding it started sputtering when twisting the throttle. Only slow twist got it to build rpm. Barely got it back home. Re-adjusted valves when i got back. Ran way better again but started hesitating quickly. I decided its a problem for today. I got to the bike today and tried to start it. Again nothing. Doesnt want to start at all anymore. Sputters like it wants to start but doesnt no matter how long i crank it. I adjusted valves from 0.003 to 0.005. Yesterday 0.004 got it running. Went back and forth on it trying different intake/exhaust combinations. Nothing works. I suspect valves may be damaged because i hear a semi loud hissing sound when i turn the engine by hand. Noise gets way louder when i take the valve cover off (this is why i suspect the valves to be damaged) should i start considering a full rebuild? Engine is at 16k km. Since the time i had it It had a stutter when initially twisting the throttle (it was fine after 3.5k rpm) (if i twisted the throttle fast it just went "tk-tk-tk-tk-bbbrrrrr). Probably time for a new cylinder head or a complete rebuild right?

[@richardninertwo]

nice!

[@Scooter_911]

Thank you very much!

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

If someone ever asks how to build a racing scooter. "There's this guy on youtube named Garret. Scooter 911. If anybody can do it...."

[@Scooter_911]

hahah thanks my friend! If someone does end up asking you though, make sure they follow through with their build. We definitely need more racing scooters out there.

[@nct9466]

Think you fitted the front axle from the wrong side The nut is on right and bolt always comes from the left side…..

[@Scooter_911]

Dude! Nice eye! I actually intentionally put it through backwards so it would be easier to safety wire the nut using the caliper bolts.

[@nct9466]

@@Scooter_911 I always wondered why it’s the way it is, I suspect it’s to do with rotation of the nut…. Several times I’ve had to go look see which way till I worked out “bolt head at caliper” etc

[@gennadyyakubovich4076]

Happy New Year!!! I am not sure if you are reading messages on your old videos, so I am writing here. It's about Yamaha Riva XC180. Did you finished your project ? how was a new carb fitting working for you ? I "inherited " Riva buying cottage two years ago and finding scooter in the shed over there.I am still working on restoration. Will be happy to exchange with mails from time to time... Thanks.

[@GorrillaFastTv]

Fastest in Texas huh 🤔 I’m in Texas with my big bore ahhh I don’t know if you can take that title yet! Love the content though 💪🏾💯

[@Scooter_911]

Come on down and race that puppy in the Texas mini gp my dude! We need more scoots out there!

[@GorrillaFastTv]

@@Scooter_911 ima have to find out where it’s at I’m definitely down!

[@Scooter_911]

@@GorrillaFastTv we race at 3 different tracks throughout the season. Gulf Coast kartway in Katy Texas, North Texas Karters in Denton and speed sports outside of Houston! Come on out! Next season starts in March!

[@juliuslvl30]

i have just bought a veteran scooter (Suzuki DM50 Samurai) and i am about to install blink lights as they were removed by previous owner ... can you make a video with something from a veteran scooter?? would be amazing !!!!

[@venaiminzaloginov622]

slamaha part 2 plz

[@emmadsmith]

Garrett, I am looking to purchase an owner’s manual and service manuals for the Yamaha 2004 Zuma 50c scooter that I am resurrecting. Would you know the best place to find these? I would prefer the paper manuals….not the digital copies. Any ideas? Thanks, Kim

[@constructdestruct360]

The gender reveal paint job is a first. Happy New Year!

[@Scooter_911]

Its a livery that no one else ever runs!

[@aaronrattley8580]

Open belt case is making me nervous 😰

[@john_barnett]

holy crap that mid-roll ad was obnoxious and loud. I guess that was the idea?

[@Scooter_911]

Sort of, but I certainly didn't want to cause anyone discomfort! If I use that ad again I'll definitely make sure to bring the volume level down more. What kind of device were you watching on? I typically proof these kinds of decisions on my desktop computer and on my phone. Maybe there's a hole in my system... Sorry again friend!

[@john_barnett]

@@Scooter_911 No big deal, I was watching it on a big TV and a home theatre system with a lage sub. The voiceover and stuff was fine so it was just the difference in bass? I dunno.

[@Scooter_911]

@@john_barnett gotcha. Well next time I'll try to proof the sound on something similar. Thanks for the heads up my friend!
