Late Christmas Presents from PMW! The Christmas season is our busiest time of the year, but even with the factory running at full tilt we were able to sneak in new product improvements. Another change to the GSR is a little harder to spot: The 3/8-24 bolts in the rear wheel stack have been changed from Hex Heads to Button Heads. How does that affect you? You will find that it is possible to run an allen wrench through the holes in the rear disk and into these new bolts. That makes it easier to reassemble the rear stack after a tire or sprocket change. It will also be easier for you to use the rear stack alignment tool, and insure that you are properly centering the sprocket and disk. It is critical to chain life that the sprocket be properly installed! Here's a small change which affects ALL of the big wheel scooters. The front brake disk has been made slightly thinner, for reduced weight and rotational mass. The new disk will retrofit back onto any model of BF, SBF, GBF, or GSR.
Here are a couple of changes which you will be seeing soon: A spacer is being added to Super Big Foot motor mount to allow the lockout bolt to be tightened down harder than before. Most riders will probably never need it, but your most extreme riders will appreciate the change. Last is a change which will affect most of our product line. We are introducing a new throttle cable which has an independent kill switch wire that runs the length of the throttle. This change will isolate the grounding circuit from the throttle cable and help to prevent short circuits. You will see this change soon on the scooters which use the longer throttle cable. Eventually it will also affect the short throttle cable on the Sport and X-ped. The cables will retrofit to any older scooter. Related Link(s): PMW Products Page

The kits also feature great looking Five Spoke Alloy Rims, Billet Aluminum Hubs, and a slimmed down low-profile rear fender. We assemble the kits with brake rotors and sprockets at the factory, so that all you have to do is bolt the whole assembly to your customer's scooter. These GP wheels will be a must-have for serious racers and serious mod-ers alike! Check Go-Shop for pricing Part# 2220 *PMW recommends using a bothy Fork with the PMT Kit. It
is possible to install the front wheel on a Leftie Fork, but you will
need to purchase a 7” long 5/8-18 Grade 8 (or better) bolt for a

Welcome
2003,
Already
appearing on GSR's are new and improved chain guides. They are easy to
spot, because they now incorporate a strip of spring steel which provides
constant tension to the chain. This chain guide is made to be installed
once and left alone. Although it can still be rotated up for increased
chain tension, that shouldn't be necessary for most users. Also remember
to remind your customers that frequent cleaning and lubing of the chain
is the only way to get maximum chain and sprocket life! PMW recommends
White Lightning®, which is now included with every new GSR. 
Back
in September we introduced the new stain resistant translucency Gray 1.5L
gas tank. We liked the look of it so much that we have now changed the
smaller 1Liter tank over to gray tint as well. If you don't have one in
your store yet, expect to see it in your next order. Both the large and
small gray tanks are available from our Parts Department for any of your
customers who want to upgrade.

On Ice, 
The
new Sport S25 Go-Ped was a huge success, and received very positive reviews
by both the dealers that took advantage of the Christmas introductory
pricing, and their many customers that walked them out of their doors.
This higher performing “Strato Charged” Go-Ped continues to establish
PMW as the environmentally sensitive company it wishes to be known for
without compromising the performance and reliability it is already famous
for. Just like the original, this direct drive improvement on the original
Sport® comes with the popular heavy duty frame, larger "pill" style deck,
and 25cc's of "Stratocharged" power for a faster, quieter ride. The available
colors are in our traditional Red and Blue, as well as Black. These are
available for order now.
PMW
started shipping the new GP Racing Slick Wheel Kit. Some of you may have
seen early prototypes of this new kit at the IGPA World Finals in Vegas
last month. In fact they were installed on Gabe Patmont's GSR Interceptor
when he won the Pro 41.5cc race! This kit is designed to bolt up on any
GSR Interceptor, or GSR40 with a *Bothy front fork.
The
motorcycle-style racing slicks provide unbelievable amounts of grip. They
are made with an Ultra Soft, 40-shore durometer. When you get your hands
on a set, compare it to our regular tires. Huge difference! The tires
are also tubeless radials, just like what you find on a race motorcycle.
Although they are low profile, the diameter is a little larger than the
standard tires, which means that the top speed will be increased slightly.
