Scooterotica

I've been thinking of doing just this - for two reasons - one being the reason you stated before, two being my exhaust hits the rear runner.

But .. why is it designed like that in the first place - is there a down side to cutting it?

Dazza is your pipe on the left hand side then

i am having this problem on the rb(i am sure its been said many times but heat is deff the biggest problem on this kit) was thinking of some kind of scoop under the scoot has anyone got any pics or suggestions on how to do this?

Look here @ JB Tuning.

On the racing spare parts section, they do an air scoop.

Jims, have you tried doing the mod to the mag housing to get more air to the cylinder? Photos pinched off someone else. Not so sure that the inner lip needs to be removed though, would have thought just the outer would be enough and allow more air through. Unless someone can advise me otherwise.

Yes mine are all modified... slightly different but cut away in a similar manor...

I did the modification on pics posted by dapper. I don't have any idea about the efficiency of that but if I'd made it again I'd let the inner lip intact as there's no point getting cool and dirty air inside the mag housing.

no mate, it's a JL but hits the down pipe hits the rear runner so I've 'modified' it to suit but it still clatters when I go over a decent bump.

I have an R1 shock and I think maybe a shorter shock would help but don't think there is one?

I'm not sure if removing that much is a good idea either. The shape those rims form is called a volute, this is used in centrifugal pumps (which is what the fan actually is) to reduce turbulence and turn kinetic energy into pressure energy at the outlet. If removing it creates more turbulence then that would reduce pressure at the outlet and airflow would actually be less.

replay scooters and jb can fit a bigger plastic fan too
