I FINNALY got my Jetpro 460 Race Rhino with the amazing leakfree Jetpro O ring manifold with it after a 6 month wait, and boy it was worth it. I gave my local Goped friend my DDM Dominator, which is at least better than stock. He painted it and cut the bracket so the chain tensioner would fit, and it looks great! I'm rocking my 5th port gp460 with a slitzel reed, which I built, and this is one of my friend’s first time on his trail ripper since he bought the roller on eBay, ordered everything he needed to complete it, engine, gas tank, etc, and then he put it all together.

He has absolutely zero brakes. I hate fucking around with the Maddog calipers. Even if you're not hitting 50 mph on the GPS, despite what some people on the forums say, I think it is absolutely worth it to spend $100$150 on a quality mountain bike hydraulic front brake. They self adjust super well for minimal drag, yet have the stopping power of a fucking moto GP bike in comparison to a Maddog. As an upgrade for a Goped, the value is incomparable.

He is also having a bit of engine trouble. While my gp460 is running quite well, his seems to either sometimes run lean or loose spark. Sometimes it wont even start/make any noises when there is plenty of gas in the tank, when you give it choke, or no choke and full throttle, to rule out either no fuel in the engine at all or a flooded situation, which makes me think is spark. It's his scooter so I'm not going to have a lot of time to diagnose it on my own time.

One thing I can't get away from on chain drive scooters is almost constant chain problems. I'll put on brand new sprockets and chain, align the sprockets with shims on the axle, use synthetic chain lube, and they'll last a week and a half and the chain will start binding up, making horrible noises and feelings while riding. The #25 chain just isn't cutting it for me. The next step in my journey for creating a fast, reliable chain drive Goped is commissioning an engineer, who knows their way around CAD, to create a custom set of front and rear sprockets for a larger chain. Honestly I would rather build an awesome case reed spindle drive for this summer before taking that big leap.
