Customer Praises DMW for a GY6-50cc Build and Dynojet Tune!

Recently a customer came to us with issues he was having with his almost new Peace Sport 50cc scooter. He had bought 2 of them and one was performing normally, the second scooter was very sluggish.  He had gone to several places and could not find someone that would work on it until he was given our information by our good friends at Cycle Gear, so he contacted us. After a thorough inspection we found the clutch was over heating, and melted the grease onto the bell and contaminated the shoes, and also engine compression was a little on the low side for a new engine. After much conversation and figuring out his needs we made recommendations on what parts would be needed to tune and satisfy his power needs. We went with a full set up of hi performance parts that would all work together smoothly. In first order we chose Dr. Pulley for the clutch and variator they are very high quality hi performance products and can be tuned very precisely. That fixed the slipping clutch problem which you can see the results on our dyno chart torque reading at the bottom of the page.  We also wanted more power so we addressed the engine.


Upon inspection of the cylinder head we found the exhaust valve looked over heated. I've seen this damage before as a byproduct of using fuel with ethanol. Since it was easier to drop the engine to perform the work we chose to install a new 52mm big bore kit and a hi flowing head, along with a hi performance carburetor, intake and exhaust. This allowed us to be able to tune the scooter on our Dynojet SD12 without any restrictions.




When it was all said and done we had doubled the horsepower and increased the grip of the clutch all across the power range sending more power to the wheels! His top speed went from 43mph to 54mph!








I was thoroughly impressed with the performance of we were able to achieve with these combinations.  Our customer was most grateful! Here is what he had to say:


"DMW is a great partner to have if you own a scooter. Junior completely rebuilt my scooter and turned it into a brand new incredible machine. His efforts to perfection were noticed and appreciated. Not only did DMW build me a new scooter they also gave me a piece of mind for future scooters for my family. I am very thankful for the work Junior does and will do for me in the future!" - Cody Ramthun

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

Better Bearings For Your Riding Pleasure


Hey Family,

Recently, I had a Genuine Buddy 150cc come in that had a bad wobble on the front end only at hi speeds and also wierd vibrations. After much diagnosis, I found the bearings to be worn. The wheel would spin fine when it was not under load and the bearing didn't have any play in it. So I assumed it was ok. It wasn't until I put the wheel on my tire balancer machine that I noticed abnormal rotation in some areas and when I put a load on the wheel, the bearing snaged. Once I removed the bearing I could tell they were manufactured cheaply. These were Taiwanese bearings that I thought would be high quality. They are single sealed when they should be double sealed and are very lightly greased. I recently upgraded them to a much better US Manufactured double sealed bearing and it made a huge difference! Now the scooter feels tight and smooth! 

So if you are in need of bearings, or want to upgrade your existing ones on your scooter or engines bring them to DMW and we will get you hi quality US standard bearings! I will recomend them to anyone bringing in their scooters for any type of work that will expose the bearings, like tire changes, brakes, etc.  Might as well get the right stuff in there! :0) 

Here is a description and the photo below is of the US manufactured bearing. 

Two Seals
Single row deep groove ball bearings have deep uninterrupted raceways and a high degree of conformity between balls and raceways. This enables them to carry axial loads in both directions, in addition to radial loads, even at high speeds. Bearings with shields or seals at both sides are filled with a grease which has good rust inhibiting properties suitable for operating temperatures of -22F to +230F. All bearings have a pressed cage of sheet steel and are available either plain, shields on both sides, or two rubber seals on both sides
