I am loving my scoot!

Post by CAPE COD PSYCHO »

I got a brand new Buddy Psycho 125. I added the pipe, jetted the carb and replaced the trans. with an NCY hp trans. I did the voodoo light mod, switched the bulbs out for led's and put a halogen headlight in for better light at night. I have to say. I am absolutely loving this thing to death. After messing around with different roller weights I have realized that the weights that came with the NCY trans work the best! I am thrilled with the performance, handling and look. And with a little help from youtube and modernbuddy.com I have learned a ton of things to help me do all the work and upgrades myself. I am 100% a scoot rider for life. I am so glad I bought my bike. Thanks to everyone who post all that awesome info so that guys like me can learn to do all sorts of cool stuff ourselves. I hit 65+mph on the way to work today! Woo - hoo! :twisted:

Congrats!

You should do a Fuelly account so that people can compare their unmodified 125's to your 'super psycho'!

Very cool! Remember, you are hundreds of miles away from that Psycho hitting its peak. Honestly, my Buddy took 3-4k to really feel "broken-in".

Your enthusiasm is infectious, cape cod. Keep it up.

Maybe a few pics, huh?

I installed the Prima pipe from scooterworks. ( have to jet the carb and mod the airbox in order for the engine to run correctly and not too lean)
I'll snap some pics and post them this week. I can't wait to see how it runs when the engine breaks in.

What number is your Psycho? I have #31. All I've done so far is installed crash bars. I think when I get near 1500 miles or so I'll start looking into upgrading for performance.

I got #94. I love to scoot here but it's also practical because parking is tight and traffic is always jammed in the summer. I love being able to zip down to the post office or store, park right out front, do my business and hop on and scoot off. I have become a bit of the scooter ambassador here. People who are interested in getting one come into my store and ask me all sorts of scooter related questions. I have business owners, store clerks, and even police sergeants interested in scooting.

Wonderful! I love Cape Cod. Next time I go I might just have to bring my scoot!

Dude, some well-placed Oakland Raider stickers would look BADASS. Very sweet scoot.
