Just bought my first scooter.
2007 Hyosung SF50 Yellow
Will upload pictures during daylight.
She had 60km on her when i bought it, and now has 68km, here is my first take.
It had no battery so i purchased one, charged it a bit and put it in.
It didnt start or even pretend to with the button. But! After a dozen kicks it came to life and has started with the first good kick since.
I dont think the turn signals work.
It said it was near empty so i totally spilled gas because it was already full. maybe, 75c in 15c out. no movement of the needle.
So i'm thinking my trickle charger is broken, i will test battery in daylight.
She will die now and again, increasingly infrequently, when going from speed to stop. She starts right up with one kick and off you go again, feather it and it won't die.
Short residential blocks here, haven't gone past 25 or 30mph.
I read someplace that it might be restricted at 45kmph?
Speed limit to work is 35mph and its usually slower.
Maybe... 5 or 6 miles each way.
I know that 60km is nothing. and 2007 was 6 years ago.
It appears to have been kept 100% in a garage in california.
But i still have break in concerns.
I think i got a good deal at $500?
I will learn to change the oil and do that because of the shavings.
Is there anything else i should check out too? Bolts might need tightening?
I'm thinking some of the problem could be the 3/4 tank of 7 year old gas, restriction, and battery being totally dead causing the entire hand console thing to not work right.
Oil injected, ?
If it is capped out at 28mph i would like to remove that, so i could hopefully sustain 35-40mph. It feels sturdy enough.
It is bright yellow and you'd have thought it a pony if you'd seen the look on The Female's face. It honestly seemed to preform no different with her on the back. She is smaller than me, and neither of us big, but still.
I have tools, extra cash not so much.
I am confident with doing work myself.
That should be a good start, all over the place, but that's why we segregate threads right?
