I was an inactive member in ScootDawgs but my old userID and password wont allow me to log in here, so I created a new one. I've had a chinese 150cc for over 2 years. There are a LOT of ppl buying scooters in SF now as I see them all the time!! I am a full-time freelance photographer, and am out of the country a lot since I have an apartment in Rota, Spain (SW Andalucia). No scooter there though.
The scooter is doing "well" in that it still moves BUT it badly needs a tuneup, change of engine oil, transmission oil and to get the odometer and speedometer fixed since that went out months after I got it in 2012 on the potholes of San Francisco. I've torn the scoot apart looking for the pieces to fix the gauges myself but couldn't find it; I don't really have the space nor tools to do any serious work. My turn signals faltered also and though I also have the part for that, cannot find the piece to replace. Took it to a SF motorcycle/scooter shop and they didnt do ANYTHING but charged me a very expensive $100 for an hour of nothing. Cannot find anything online that would really help me. Now that's it's running poorly, I've remembered I need to get some work done on it. I'd love to find the idle screw to adjust it so it won't idle so poorly when stopped. I am NOT mechanically inclined, but will do some things myself but as mentioned before: I don't have the tools. Just replaced the burnt out bulb in the headlamp. Looking for scooter-folks in SF!
