Modern Buddy

after about an hour and a half in a buddy seat I'm ready to tap out. So good luck with those long distance cruises.

I have two scooters: 2009 Buddy 150 St Tropz 2015 Buddy 50 My scooter is the 150 and the tire size is 100/90-10 The wife's scooter is the 50 and the tire size is 90/90-10 We both like the whitewall look and higher sidewall of the 150's tire. My question is - can I put the 100/90-10 tire on the 50cc ...

How many miles per gallon are you guys seeing on a buddy 50? Mine is a 2014.

Yes. All there is coming to or from that oil tank is a small rubber hose going to the intake manifold - and the wires for the dash oil light. It is a metered office vacuum port. I think I’ll go with a 32:1 ratio to start.

Mine is not gear driven. It is a simple vacuum port that draws in the oil.

Hi - I recently bought a 2014 buddy 50 scooter. The entire fuel system was clogged from sitting for years in a garage. I prefer a manual Petcock and mixing my own fuel because it eliminates the issue of either of the vacuum valves malfunctioning and either ruining the engine from lack of oil or not ...
