Scooter Plastic Body Panel Repair : Plastic Welding, Hot Staples, Fiberglass Fairings : T1 : Part 5

[@anthonyg620]

You need to do more of these scooter refurbs, you’re real good at it! Plus I want to watch more of them! Ps: you did not leave us on a cliffhanger how could you!

[@arekkoski]

You gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation to fix my daily scooter's body panels, the result of your work is very visually effective!

[@vibeatz8312]

looks like a gilera runner 😂

[@Donbscooters757]

So many plastics i need and want to fix . Im glad i came across this video

[@erikbalint2904]

It looks like a old gilera runner but littlebit beefier:D amazing job refreshing an actual no value scooter. I like how much time youve spent on small things just like me. Keep up the good work!

[@Dariush27]

I noticed it too I think it actually has the same headlight unit as the Runner

[@stikmannn]

Making your own little bit if trim what a great idea!

[@Riddle6EOS]

Wauw that is some very impressive work. Plus the bushings for the broken taps, are a golden tip i will steal from u. Thank u

[@dantheflyinman1576]

Man that thing looks grate ❤

[@landmonkey22]

Nice! Exactly the kind of work im planning to do this weekend, perfect timing. Hope you are doing good buddy 😊

[@49ccscoot]

I'm doing well. Good luck with your project!

[@alexmerkeezy]

Untested bike, first ride to go to a friends house. Ballsy move. I like it!

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Man, i need a hot stapler in my life

Link in description. It was worth every penny for me.

Мне не понравилося этот степлер. Феном и пояльником лучше получается.

[@scooterbomb2152]

very good job. thinking outside the box

[@Jay_stories]

Came out fantastic brother!!!!!!!!😮

[@millymoo6575]

Wow! Nice work looks really good now

[@dc3763]

Nice job man!! .. Idk, I would use some smaller, button like turn signals in the front :)

[@49ccscoot]

These are about as small as I wanna go. They're bright, but I like having them outward some and a reasonable size. Too many drivers pay no attention and don't notice even factory stuff, and there are more fun reasons to have an accident than someone missing a signal IMO.

[@Lofirider]

Use 2k can paint and it would give it a pro paint look 👌

[@vladislavkoval2018]

Seat, footstand and other thick black or grey plastic parts are made from 5pp (polypropylene). Decorative body panels are madr from ABS. PP only can be welded with iron solderer, you can you steel mesh or staples to strengthen it. You can also smelt food boxes made from 5pp to fill holes. 5pp cant be glued. But ABS can with cyanoacrilate glue. Use steel mesh and weld it with iron from underneath to add strength. Then you can use abs dissolved in solvent (i use acetone or 646) and fill cracks and put it on mesh to give it extra strong layer. You can always find the material markings on parts (5pp/PP/ABS). lenses are made from PC (Polycarbonate). It glues very vell with cyanoacrylate glue.

bien mieux avec les plastique je regarde depuis longtemps est vidéo depuis la france

[@mohdjemadil4527]

U should paint that scooter in nardo grey colour

[@49ccscoot]

What I'm looking at is not far off of that. Still waiting on the painter to check for me because he says some paints are expensive and there are quite a few greys to switch to that are similar if it winds up being one.

[@tenders]

Awesome fixup. You might consider using epoxy in the future instead of polyester resin. It has better adhesive qualities, cures more slowly, doesn’t go bad over time, and is far stronger. It is more expensive but you don’t really use too much so its cost probably isn‘t a significant overall factor.

[@49ccscoot]

What I've got on here is probably stronger than the 20 year old Chinese plastic, but thanks for the info. I literally just bought what came up when I looked for fiberglass.

[@tenders]

@@49ccscoot Agreed, the fiberglass laminate you’ve applied is almost certainly stronger than the old, brittle plastic, but it may not stay adhered to the plastic for long after vibration and temperature fluctuations. I haven’t tested this myself with polyester resin, but epoxy only works pretty well for this on plastic, and it is known for being especially adhesive. PS - love your channel, you’re amazingly thorough and clear, my comment here is really about curiosity and not skepticism.

[@Donbscooters757]

I wish there were a way to fix ir mod the lil spots where the tabs break off and won't snap together anymore i have plastics i could still use but cant teally because the tabs are broken it really sucks man i ended up using zip ties witch can look ugly

[@francescomereu682]

good work,What brand of air filter is the one you fitted? Measurements? Thanks

[@49ccscoot]

Doesn't really have a brand on it. It's generic amazon stuff I guess. They have 38 and 42mm to fit different carbs. Mine is the 38mm. It's 60mm thick by 94mm across. amzn.to/4haftt0

T2 finally has clothes on 🙂 🎉

[@syncmob2871]

How did you get a correct reading of your RPM ? i’ve tried the wiring suggested in the manual but it’s reading 6000rpm a idle

[@49ccscoot]

6000RPM idle is likely 3x the actual idle or you have a very high idle and it's double. I think most single cylinder 2Ts will either be setting 1 or 2.

[@assellferas5966]

I have a 2010 T-Max. I changed the clutch and belt, and when I finished, a noise and squeaking sound appeared on the belt. Please, what is the solution and how do I contact you?

[@Furgodj]

I had that sound with news belts.. almost always os because the belt is too dry. Next week i will change it.

[@JDMz]

If its squeaking you have the wrong size belt. Or you may have the right sized belt but the belt is snagged on the variator. When fitting the belt did you make sure that the belt was slack when the variator was installed. It could also be the clutch shoes that are glazed that often causes a slipping belt or a screech sound. Could also be the torque driver bearing.

[@49ccscoot]

The belt or CVT on my TMAX always makes a noise at idle. I would probably see if it breaks in and stops before worrying too much unless it's a loud noise. Mine is pretty faint. If it's loud, look at the suggestions that others have already posted.
