Another Satisfied Customer


Last week, a good customer (like all of you!) came by after breaking the bracket system on his new custom exhaust. We decided to go ahead and make our own stainless steel brackets and clamps to hold down the exhaust and also to tune up his transmission to see if he could get a little bit more acceleration. We did a base run on our Dynojet and it netted almost 6hp to the wheels and about 4.25 ft-lbs of torque. We found that the best bang for his buck would be to upgrade the variator and weights so we installed the Dr. Pulley brand variator and weights. We went through quite a few different grams until we came up with the best balance, netting  6.75hp peak and about 4.8 ft-lbs of torque! The best part is that we didn't lose any top end whatsoever. These are awesome numbers just on tuning a variator and weights. Now for a test ride: I immediately noticed a difference in acceleration when taking off the line and the mid-range just kept pulling!  It has made the scooter even more fun to ride. OK, time to let the customer have some fun. We called him on July 3rd to let him know it was ready and he was knocking at our shop door within 30 minutes. Fast forward two days later (July 5th) and we received this message from him: 

Customer: "The scooter is running great! I've put over 200 miles on it since Tuesday. I definitely notice a better kick off the line. It throws my head back a little now! And it seems to tackle hills a lot better. The throttle feels smoother at my hand." 

I love it when our customers are happy with our work and give us feedback. It makes us proud to know that we are providing excellent service, and our tune-ups get great results so your scooter achieves power you can feel and results you can see. 

Here at DMW, we love helping scooter enthusiasts tune their scooters. If you have any questions or would like to get your scooter tuned on the Dynojet,  Call us for an appointment today: 615-200-7337 M-F 10-6pm

Nashville's Scooter Community Unites!



Hello Family,

It’s March, it looks like she came in like a lamb and I hope she doesn’t go out like a lion! 
Hopefully, temperatures will be uphill from here so we can start enjoying our scooters! February was an exceptionally warm month and some of us got to ride a bit. We even had an event (ride) hosted by the Scootnashville folk that turned out to be fun. 
Also, in February, in honor of the month of love we were able to show some scooter love to one of our scooterist friend and loyal customer Randy Anderson! He brought in his beautiful Bajaj Chetak scooter in for some well needed 10k mile Service, Tires and a Windshield Installation.  The bill was quite hefty and Randy had just gone through some recent medical issues so he wasn't able to work full time. Dimelo Motor Works felt compelled to reach out to other scooterists to see if we could raise funds for his bill and this is what happened ...
We approached our fellow Scootnashville network and the Christian Motorcyclist Association and between them and DMW we were able to raise a total of $255.55 toward his bill! That was almost half of his bill. Randy did not know about the fundraiser that we named “The DMW Scooterist Fund” but he was so grateful at the gesture of our scooter community and this is what he said: 


"Imagine my surprise, when Junior told me of his efforts to help raise money to help me out. And the response was heartwarming. Thank you to Junior and the DMW scooter family. I'm happy to see there is going to be an ongoing fund to help someone else. And I will take any opportunity to pass the kindness forward.  Ride happy.

  
    Peace,

     Randy Anderson"

I sincerely want to thank all of Scootnashville and The Christian Motorcyclist Association for their support. It was a beautiful and kind thing to do and to see Randy ride with us during the rust run was priceless! 
I hope this is just the beginning of us scooterists spreading the love, so if you know anyone we can help please let DMW know! 

Kindly,
Junior Padilla
