A section hose attaches and routes down the bottom left of the engine. Your carb's intake fitting is at mid-level on the right side. A hose attaches to this and the fuel filter. Another section of hose attaches to the filter and the other end goes on the petcock fitting.... Just visit the picts there will give you a better idea of the hose routing.

I don't know how to set up the hoses. Definately got it wrong the first time. The fuel hose runs from the petcock to the bottom of the carb, right?. Where do the 2 other hoses go?

I have real info on the madass by Tomberlin. If anybody out there is really interested in what is going on I will gladly lay it on you. I purchased the silver madass right from Tomberlin in Augusta, Ga. These are the people that have everything to do with the madass coming from China which also has the name of Sachs on the engine case. You can pull up their website by just typing in Tomberlin but I am going to give you the name of the head man in charge of the whole store in Augusta, Ga. His name is Thomas Marshall at 1-877-543-7288. This 800 number will get you right to the main man. Let me tell you about the great service and treatment that these people in Augusta give you. I had a few problems with the MSO when I got to Floruda to register it. In Florida it is not considered a moped but a scooter and needs to be titled, registered and tagged. The people at Tomberlin went way out of there way to help with the problem I had at the tag agency. Even as far as to call done to the tag agency in Florida from Georgia to help straighten it all out. They even overnited me a new MSO to make things easier at the tag agency. I can't say enough of the treatment that this company gives to you when you make a purchase and even when you have a problem. They went above and beyond what most companies would ever do. They give one years warranty on defective parts. At the time I bought this scooter on 11/16/06 they had a sale going on for the holidays(which I think goes on to the end of the year but not sure). I paid including Georgia sales tax $1060.00 and completely assembled and driven out the door, with a tank of gas. If there is anything you guys want to know about the madass/Tomberlin here is my email (lindamclarney@yahoo.com) I will be glad to help you because it is a hell of a piece of equipment. I do not have very many miles on it yet because I am picking my tag up tomorrow but the more I drive it I will keep you posted on it's progress PS: not real fast This is to all the madass freaks!

I did experience the same thing as you folks . Triple clamp was scraped up due to broken shipping crate , one bolt in the clamp is used to bolt to the shipping frame(kinda crushed - must have been double/triple stacked ). Broken throttle cable /housing (part of shipping damage ) Broken mirror )left side ) Big Time leaky petcock (all over the garage that has a water heater in it - I would definitely be SUEing Big Time if I had a house fire- I'm from Calif. sue happy state ), Headlight wired wrong , Stand real wobbly , Nuts and bolts loose . MISSING TITLE - I really don't care about the scrapes and Broken stuff I can fix that - the dealer sent parts and did replace them after a couple of calls(lots of them). Parts came from the factory not him so I guess that explains the delay (2 Months ?? ) Well everything is fixed - I do all my own work . I can't say it's the dealers fault as a distributor/third party .Common sense tells you to go over the bike for safety and loose stuff from the shipping . I really want to give the dealer the benefit of the doubt and be patient enough to SEND me a TITLE which I found out via the DMV ,"must legally provide at delivery or soon thereafter" as stated by law . I'm not out to get him or anything but I'm going to try ONE more time to contact him via email - Then I'm going to have to go after him legally . I really just want to ride this thing with a plate and it's been sitting since the end of September without one / could get pulled over and get really screwed ! I did have one problem or another but they are all /was fixable - DON'T want to see the guy in jail or anything I just WANT MY TITLE !!!!!! I want to actually buy another one (a third) just to modify if I know I can get a legal title for them , geez if there's a problem doing this and the dealer can't figure it out I 'll even help the dealer if I can. Anybody have the same experience ??? Feel free to contact me . Though it seems everyone has . I mean this is a real neat OVER BUILT platform to really trick out larger engines carbs etc . Hopefully the dealer won't screw it up for himself and get on the ball with our titles - I think the Bike really is gonna take off this year as more and more people see it , I know for a fact a whole bunch of yuppie rich guys in their 30's and 40's in the neighborhood want one over a scooter for the attention they get.

Removal of the electronic governor is a good place to start. Next you need to gear it up by changing the final drive sprocket. A 15t should suffice. Then you can carefully chop 5-10mm off the throttle slide so it opens further. However doing all of this will only give you a bike that will do 40MPH on a good day. Bigger carb, big-bore kit, engine swap.... your pocket book is the limit. Xkeletonz, there are a litany of mods you can do to boost power to your bike.

I am back with my probable last report on this xkeleton business. I bought one from the Ebay Powertoyz guy. I received the bike about 9 days later and would have got it sooner if I was there to answer the phone. All the parts were there but a big scratch or gouge was evident on top of triple tree clamp from a twisted packing frame bolt. No assembly instructions. Took two peeple to install the muffler clamp. A few loose wire connections. Got everything to work after a while. Nice looking mirrors but they snap apart like a potato chip if you try to adust them for angle. Motor started right up but throttle cable end was frayed and sticking to inside of carb. Quartz head lights are pretty kool and work real good. Digital speedo is OK but cannot be seen properly at night. Speedo has button underneath to switch from Mph to Kph. Wheels and tires are very good. Brakes are bigger than needed. Kickstand was loose and needing a spacer. No chain guard which might be a problem for someone like a child on the back. The bike is rather heavy for it's small horsepower motor but handles quite well. Top speed might be 30 Mph initially. Bike would be decent if it had about 150cc motor on it but then it wouldnt be a "Moped". No MOS but may be available. The bike's performance is embarassing slow. I'm going to try a different aftermarket carburetor and performance air filter and a new throttle carburetor. Bike definitely needs a SKID plate as your going to sooner or later hit the bottom of the engine on a curb or something. Bike looks much better than it performs ! Bike has a kool name and looks. What kind of tricks can it do? Can't do any wheelies. Barely climbs a hill. I think now I understand what the TRICK is.....where's my money? DS Hello again peeplez.

I am letting interested persons know that I have just completed payment through Paypal for one of these Xkeletonz off Ebay fromPowertoysdirect for about a total price of $875. Item #250048486056. Payment was made on Nov.11, 2006. A few hours later I read the comments people have left and now wonder what will be my experience with this seller and the item as listed. So all I can say is I hope to God it's a good one ! I will however post my further commentz good or bad about this Xkeleton thing about once a week as apparently there is quite an interest in this machine. One last thing I will say is further examining the pictures at the web site is one view shows the drive chain on the left side and another shows it on the right side. Now I'm starting to wonder......see ya next Sat night ! Hello peeple . I am letting interested persons know that I have just completed payment through Paypal for one of these Xkeletonz off Ebay fromPowertoysdirect for about a total price of $875. Item #250048486056. Payment was made on Nov.11, 2006. A few hours later I read the comments people have left and now wonder what will be my experience with this seller and the item as listed.
