I purchased a new GY6 150 scooter, its a handsome boy style with the 2 front headlights. I have about 415 miles on it now (well according to the odometer which is never right) and for some weird reason I have only been getting about 50 miles out of an entire tank of fuel.
I have done no modifications to it. I weigh around 250lbs and I ride mostly on flat roads with small hills. My top speed is only about 49mph at WOT (according to GPS not speedo) and according to the RPMs its 8k. I do not have a windshield or a trunk on the back of it and I only carry my gloves under my seat. I have checked the air pressure both tires are around 32 psi and I am not leaking fuel at all, I also checked the oil to see if the fuel was somehow ending up in the crankcase but its not.
And for those wondering, yes I have already changed out the junk oil and gearbox lube that comes from the factory, I have owned scooters 49cc and 150s since I was 13 and this one by far is the biggest fuel hog I have ever seen.
The only thing I can think of is the front CVT or the clutch is not working properly or when it was assembled at the factory they put to light of rollers in it causing the RPMs to stay to high at WOT.
Any Suggestions?
