I guess it is just one of those things. If I had known I could have wiped it off before it had time to soak in but I didnt realize it since it was dark with cloud to ground lightning everywhere lol I have a little paint left i guess i will just peel the bubbles and sand smooth and repaint since it was just that one panel. Mostly I am glad it didnt do any permanent damage

its a secret.......nah just kidding. I use a Cricut die cutting machine they sell them at walmart for scrapbooking and stuff. It is perfect for scooter decals. Havent quite figured out how to cut pictures yet but I can hook it up to the computer and use any font I have or download anywhere. I have been working on making SVG (scalable vector graphic) files that I can upload into the cutting program but havent had much luck. The vinyl holds up to heat and rain really well. The ones I made for my Eve last year still look new with no bubbles or peeling You need some decals???

that sucks dude, like I said they are perfect for making small decals for scooters and the vinyl isnt that expensive plus you can hook it to the computer usb without having to buy all those preset cartridges and stuff. I can for sure make you some letters or numbers havent figured out how to cut my own pictures. Find a font you want and let me know how big you want and what color. All i have right now is black and white, the vinyl is like 9 bucks a pack sooooo....lol

Anybody know where to get a cheap 107mm complete torque converter with clutch and bell that will fit this Zuma?? At this point I dont care if it is from yamaha or not, I would settle for a 1e40qmb 2 stroke clone one for the right price. My belt is slipping after only about 200 miles evidenced by vibration and the feeling of a knot on the tire almost. Too much belt dust, uneven wearing of the belt and infamous black ring around the outter edge of the variator. The pitting on both front and rear pullys is eating my belt up so I am about to park it until I can replace the entire CVT no sense in buying a belt every few weeks. Can someone help a brotha out hahha

If it is belt wear that is the problem you may also be the victim of a counterfeit belt. I have seen people complain about a brand new Gates belt falling apart in as few as 11 miles, they the put a good condition old belt in and use it for a thousand miles. Scrappy has both the varitator and clutch for $35.00 each in the 1E40QMB Minarelli parts www.scrappydogscooters.com/50CC_2-STROKE_PARTS.html

If I buy the china cloned stuff will the belt still be the same size or will I have to use a different belt?
