One tip I might add: when removing bolts of varying size/length on an assembly (the CVT cover in this case), use a piece of cardboard & punch holes in it in the same pattern as the bolts to be removed. As each bolt is taken out, push it through the corresponding hole in the cardboard. Very helpful for correct reassembly, especially if you're unable to complete the work right away.

[@josepeixoto3384]

No need for that,that leads to mistakes; you *MUST* know that each bolt must spin in ,7 or 8 threads,and,all of them the same amount: so,you put any bolt in any hole and sight it: do the same with the others,they must protrude the same; then,you can start tightening... that´s how a mechanic works,he knows what bolt is needed for every threaded hole,and the factory already provides it: easy.

I would have to agree. Putting the wrong sized screws back in was why I destroyed two magnetos for the video. Super stupid mistake. Screws were too long and tore them up.

[@AlexMotal]

Really good video. Thanks for making this.

[@ariakian2938]

Thanks bro . Make more video and thank you 🙏🏻

[@diomedesdiaz00]

Good video ❤

[@alimsuzuki8125]

nice video

[@danankblast]

I ussualy use a piece of used cotton cloths to prop the piece slide, no more noise in CVT ✌️✌️

What does the 150 cc scooter have to be for the ideal weight to not affect the fuel; (14 gr), What is the benefit of extending the clutch release

[@jaredworkz]

Nice

[@The1NightBaker]

I noticed there was NO gasket? Also do you think the bolt hardware could be swapped out and replaced with studs and bolt, like on the exhaust manifold.

[@rankontop5041]

I want to see you start it up and all of that.

[@Sidg2]

Can I use API GL-4 SAE-90 GEAR OIL in Transmission of TVS Jupiter or Honda Activa 4G 110cc gearless scooters? Will it reduce the performance, pickup & milage and increase the wear & tear of transmission gears of scooter? TVS company manual recommended to use same engine oil (10w30 JASO MA2) as the gear oil in transmission also.

[@BradBrother]

at how many miles do you replace the variator?

[@Panman-fishing-Venture]

How many miles did your scooter have when you did this maintenance? Thank you

[@wadebarnes6720]

In your opinion which one is the best variator for a 50cc and a 150cc

[@sarahortiz67]

Is this close to the GY6 QMB 139 version? Or are all GY6 the same?

[@betsalelinbar1924]

I see alot of videos about this GY6 scooter, is it popular in the us for being a reliable and easy maintenance scooter ? out here in my country it's the kymco movie 125 scooter which is very popular, i guess each country has it's own "movie" scooter

[@kevinfiorini5793]

hello I'm Italian, I have a gy6 engine but I broke the strap could you tell me the measure please do not know how to do here do not produce.. thank you

[@frankgallagher2424]

Is there any way to adjust the belt on a 2016 TaoTao VIP

[@ronniesmith9514]

Look like a pro to me

[@gumonthepants]

Would you guys say that this GY6 assembly/parts are the same or similar to the Kymco Like 150i?

[@thefourwheelerdoctor7808]

How many miles the scooter has?

[@servantoftheservant5022]

New subscriber lets c what u got best south africa

[@wamalakeneth-rx4sn]

Do I need to put Gillis on the roller bearings

[@glitter9111]

Mine has a lot of black inside what could the problem be?

[@RedPillDosage]

What was the belt size on that engine?

[@darionaustin2280]

does anyone know how to change the oil on a adly gtc 50cc nifty

[@soulvaccination8679]

I think you could have got it off after you squeezed the clutch.Those impacts are big money.

[@DC_R]

You said in your video 1 year to change out the variator but how many miles or km?

[@JoeysGarage]

Not sure how many kms that is. Most people just check the weights often, and change them when flat spots start appearing. When I was riding regularly, I found once a year easy for me, so I didn’t have to worry about it or the belt.

[@Blueskies_23]

do you not use gear oil? cause i have the same bike and i would have to drain it first.

[@texasemergencytreeandoutdo5271]

Only need to drain if you are removing the cover for the gears which is on the opposite side.

[@jeller2647]

what year and engine are you working on in this video

[@JoeysGarage]

2017 GY6 157QMJ

[@MetroSA-227]

Did not show installing the plastic guides, one side is thinner than the other and did not show installing the weights

[@davidk1579]

Just would like to ask, would a 250cc eng. fit and line up in the same place that a old 150cc came out of.. Thanks..( scooter)

[@roosterqmoney]

Wish you had done the same thing with the clutch

[@JoeysGarage]

+Brandon Ford I figured there are so many videos on scooter clutches, I skipped it. What were you wondering? And have you seen my no spark video?

[@shajik.damodaran8156]

Pls tell me the function of the fan blades on the variator. Thanks.

[@JoeysGarage]

Create air flow from variator

[@searcy95]

Moves air in and around, reducing heat in the belt area !

[@user-rr1es1tu2t]

You don't have to take off the kick-start all

[@matowixunplugged7927]

Is 7000km much for a 125 2013 scooter would u change the belt etc ?

[@matthewolivier2883]

I'd change the belt yes usually you change it every 6000

[@ELP1125]

👓 👃🏽

[@tellmesomething2go]

You did`t do anything on the clutch.

[@JoeysGarage]

I thought I changed the fluid for the CVT. Can't remember though how long ago it was.
