I wanted to give a more informative title, but I don't know anything about scooters so...  I'm not sure if it's a big deal or not, but I figured better safe than sorry. The problem is that sometimes after I start up the engine it idles at variable speeds and then when I roll on the throttle the RPM increases, but the wheel's don't turn and then the RPMs fall, but the engine still idles. It doesn't stall or anything, it just won't move. If I wait, and let it idle for awhile then everything is fine. I normally let it idle maybe 15-30s. Is that not enough time? Is this not a big deal? I'm at like 230km and the dealer recommends doing the 1st service at 600m. Should I wait that long, or bring it in early? Thanks |

You let it idle 15 to 30 minutes!? That's not normal. Alley's right, it needs adjustment and you might have a vacuum leak. You mentioned a dealer, if it's under warranty this is a repair, not a service visit, and don't let them talk you into anything else.

Thanks Alleyoop, guess I'll see when I can bring it in. Gonna be sad to be without it for awhile =(
Not minutes, 15 - 30 seconds. I turn it on, step across and put on my gloves then maneuver it around without using the throttle.

Whats weird is the whole not moving thing. Your CVT does not need to warm up to function and should engage as soon as the RPMs are high enough to cause the clutch to engage. Does your scoot have a tach? I ask because it's possible you just are not hitting a high enough RPM for the clutch shoes to swing out and engage...especially on a scoot this new.

It doesn't have a tachometer, but what happens is that when I try to roll on the throttle instead of engaging the RPM, the engine just disengages and the RPM drops. If I increase the throttle after it disengaged, nothing happens. If I throttle on faster, the same thing happens just faster.

I'll see if I can reproduce it. It seems to happen more often when the gas tank is more full.
