Ok, so you have just purchased your new Scooter, times are hard, the economy is bad, but that’s not the only reason you purchased your less expensive Chinese made scooter, it looked cool and sporty, and the price was great.
You may have purchased a 150cc or a 50cc, you are all excited, and take it out for the first ride. It’s wonderful, you have a blast, but after maybe the first few weeks of riding, you begin to feel the need for a bit more speed and power.
So, that’s were we come into the picture. You start searching the internet, typing in all kinds of search words, you don’t know a lot about this scooter, you just know it is made in China, it’s a four stroke motor, and that maybe the salesman told you or you perused through the owners manual, and found out that it has a GY6 engine, wow a GY6 engine, what the #@!& does that mean, GY6, well that is for another entire discussion.
Getting back to searching the internet, many different companies come up in the search, all offering similar performance products for your GY6 scooter, some prices are higher, some are a bit lower, but the main thing you are looking for is the ability to pick up the phone, or send and email, asking many questions, as to how you can improve the performance of your ride.
Well you found us MonsterGY6.com Yes we are an online store selling performance parts for your GY6 Scooter, but we also have a shop, where we service and work on Scooters all day long.
Just about all the products we sell are installed and tested on our own Scooter before we offer the products to you.
As I wrap up my first blog, it is a work in progress, we keep finding new products, we keep testing, we keep experimenting, and we keep riding, after all we all share the same passion.

You guys are great. You are a bit hard to find on the net. You don’t show up until you get to about the sixth page when typing in Chinese scooters 150cc etc. . Just installed NCY variator and flywheel, yellow main spring and clutch springs and a new belt. Made a world of difference. To any buddy that tries this on there own, your clutch nut (the real big one) on the 150s clutch is a 39mm.Good luck finding it in stock at Sears only on line,there are two other sites that sell them. My solution was to borrow a set of impact sockets for oil filters ( sounds odd but that is what is on the case) from Advanced Discount Auto Parts,You’ll get a 38mm in the set. Then I ground down the nut with a grinding stone for a hand drill. Be sure to seal up the bearing and opening to the drive axle to keep out dirt. It works but don’t try it if your not good at fabricating. Don’t for get the impact wrench.If you don’t have one and are a cheap bastard like me you can pick up an 12 car emergency impact wrench from Harbor Freight in the auto isle not the power tool isle. Cost $21 and change after tax.You’ll all so need a 1/2 in to 3/8 in adaptor to fit the 38mm socket. Good luck

Thanks for the kind words, we are trying to improve our Google search position, it takes time.
For the clutch nut, I found a socket at Carquest, it was only around $6.00

Carquest that’s a store name I haven’t seen in ten years.Thought they went under. If Carquest has a 39mm then BapGeon would have one too. Not the same company, But there good with things like that. Napa might but they didn’t in the Greater Daytona Beach area.
I have a tip for when changing intake manifolds with riser gaskets. The black part that seats against the intake manifold and the O-ring gets indented from running hot at sea level (suggest rejeting the carb to a 100 at sea level).This indent will not seal, but you can sand down the black part using a flat sanding block and progressively going finer with the sand paper. Use some common sense You don’t need real coarse paper to start . Then use some high temp rvt silicone on the back side were the metal part of the gasket meets the cylinder intake. If your not good at fabricating and don’t understand how to apply RVT don’t try this. This solved my air leak problem. And don’t use hose clamps that have the worm gear, the the screw part is to flat and will not seal were it meets the carb.

I picked up performance exhaust and air filter. Then started the re-jetting processes.I’m not trying to deter sales from you guys but I found a cheap way to make a performance intake for the performance air filter.Just putting the air filter on the carb really leaves some desire for throttle response and the fuel delivery,so I came up with this solution. Stainless 90 degree drain pipe for sinks,just cut off the flange, clean it with some water and dry it.Then get the rubber connectors with the hose clamps used for PVC pipes.The pipe is $6 and the rubber connector was $3.The intake pipe manifold makes a huge difference.
