Hello,
I am new to the Three wheeler world. I have been trail blazing with my go kart for a good while figured I better upgrade while I had the chance. My new three wheeler has low range but the guy told me there was something wrong with the high range. something about a gear. He said its a real easy fix. does anyone know how to fix it or where to get the gear at? I had it earlier today and was riding it around it smoked alot but after I rode it for awhile it quit smoking is that good or bad.. I am going to see tomorrow if it still smokes. Your input would help me a lot.
Thanks,
Southern boy:beer

if it stoped smoking i would check the oil in that thing, sounds like it might need a set of rings as well... as far as the high/low range ill have to let someone else answer that. I'm not familiar with the 125's

For the hi-low issue, does the switch not work? Are you unable to move it from low to high, or can you even tell? I'm going to assume that the HI/LOW is the same design as on the ATC90. IT's almost a seperate unit, so you can get the gears out by simply taking the 4 screws out and you'll probably see what's wrong by moving the hi/low switch back and forth and seeing how the gears engage. Someone here should be able to get you a complete gear set. I bought one from one of the members myself!

For the smoking, it's probably rings, but what gizmo said is right, you need to check and make sure you've still got oil!
