I've been riding my Jonway YY250T since August, and have about 4300 miles on it. Not sure it it's related or just in my head, but lately, it's seemed a bit slower when taking off. I thought maybe I was just more used to riding the scooter so it just didn't seem as quick.
I always wear earplugs when riding, so I'm not able to hear a lot of the quieter sounds. This afternoon, I rode into town, about a 10-mile ride, mostly at highway speed, so the motor had time to fully warm up. I stopped briefly at one location, removed my earplugs, and didn't put them back in when I left since I was just going to the other side of the block. When I reached my destination, without the earplugs, I was able to hear the valves tapping at idle once stopped.
Not sure if this is related, but my fuel economy seems to have dropped a bit as well (nothing drastic). I've been gassing up at other stations so I didn't know if it was the fuel or if I'm just driving more aggressively since I'm used to the scooter??
So... reduced performance, valves tapping, a few thousand miles on the scoot, sounds like valves to me!
The scooter has the 244cc motor, so adjustment should be a breeze. (Motor running and at full operating temp, loosen screw, adjust until tapping stops, tighten screw, and drive away).
We'll see how it all goes!
