Haynes Techbook Scooters: Automatic Transmission 50 to 250cc Review

Haynes Techbook Scooters: Automatic Transmission 50 to 250ccAutobarn sucks because I ordered this from them via Amazon and it said they were "in stock", then about a week later I get an email that says it is on backorder.That really p*ssed me off, so I cancelled and ordered from Advance Auto online.To speak of the book itself--it is a must-have for any Chinese Made scooter--it's not like the Chinese publish a Haynes Manual and you could understand the Chinglish if they did.This gives a lot of good information on how to do the regular maintenence and repair things on your scoot.It is pretty much the scooter bible.

Slime 22038 Compact Tire Plug Kit with Storage Handle Review

Slime 22038 Compact Tire Plug Kit with Storage HandleThis is a nice compact kit that I hope I never need... but as the Boy Scouts say .... "Be Prepared"!

Like others here I was confused by the two apparently "extra" tools; I had expected only a cleaner & a plug inserter. I shot the company an e-mail and got this prompt reply:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. The Needle that is open at the very top of the eye - to be used per the directions on auto tires.

2. The Needle that is open along the side of the eye - to be used with ATV tires as per the directions (this type of needle would get caught on the steel belts of an automotive tire, and works much better with an ATV type tire.)

3. The Needle that is completely closed is to be used like the #1 needle able, BUT once the needle is strung, it would be inserted ALL the way into the tire and pulled out half way; then cut off. (Same basic function, just really a matter of preference)

We included all three of these so that the option that you are familiar with and/or most comfortable with are available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I am only going to keep the regular inserter and the rasp with the kit which I think will leave room in the handle for all the gear with no left-overs (I'm traveling right now so am not 100% sure on that but think it should work).
