I re Took my temperature after I took a 5 mile ride to work (cruising 25-30) and now its at 250 You def have an issue . check you oil pump. Take the valve cover off and start the scoot. If the oil pump is working you will see oil pumping to the rocker arm area. You only have to let it run for a few seconds to verify if its working or not. |

Also would changeing to a thicker oil work better for the upgrade? I forgot to mention the plastic housing around the flywheel is warped a bit Can you post a pic ? As long as air in not leaking out from a big hole , the scoot should not get that hot , especially just from cruising for 5 mins. I recently had an oil pump fail and the temps when up also. |

I couldn't get a clear pic in the dark ill try soon daylight but my temp is at 185 crusing at 6 rpms at 25-30 mphs (10 mile ride) aftet i replaced the plastic fan cover and engine cover (forgot to mention plastic from engine was never put back on till today) temps are better but i dont know the normal temps are supposed to be.

Normal temps are between 180-200 f. I would do a longer test. It sometimes takes awhile for the temps to rise. I can start the scoot up and ride to 5-10 miles at cruising speeds and the temps only get up to 145-160 f . let the scoot warm up for ten mins , then do a 10-20 mile run at cruising speeds. |

Are you saying the plastic shroud around the engine was not put back on until today? If so you are very lucky the engine is not gone! These are air cooled engines. The fan forces air around the cylinder head BECAUSE OF THE SHROUD. Without it (the shroud) there is little cooling. It's very, very fortunate you were paying attention to temps ... might be the thing which saved you from a new engine. |

Rcq is right , you cannot run the scoot without that thing. Its a major part for the cooling to work at all. |
