Forgot to post that I decided to wire the phone charger to the battery with a fuse. Took longer to take the plastics off than wire it up because CF Moto decided to put the battery behind the seat in front off the brake light.

Nice to know at least one other person rides this scoot. I'm hoping to hold off on the battery til next spring. Haven't had any trouble starting yet. Had to get a new back tire and back brakes to pass inspection here in NY. Set me back about $250 for parts and labor with the inspection.
Emailed CF Moto and they set me an owners manual. I forwarded a copy to the board admin and it should hopefully be up soon in the help section. I browsed through and am thinking the trouble codes are different. Will have to watch the light and remember codes.
Woodstock do your scoots have a canister under the seat? I talked to the scooter shop that originally sold the scoot and they said it has something to do with emissions. Was just wondering if yours had it because I would really like to have that space back. Even with the top case I'd like more storage. My top case barely hold my helmet so where do I put my jacket?

Howdy all, I recently acquired a 2009 Glory 150. Its in need of a little TLC which me and my local scooter shop are giving it. But I have a few questions I'm hoping you all can help me with:
1. I've noticed that after I get her warmed up and have been out for a bit, that the error light starts flashing. I know that my Jetmax also a CFMOTO does the same if it has a problem. I can't seem to find an owners manual anywhere to tell me what the flash codes are. I have the maintenance manual but the codes aren't in there that I can find. Can I assume that both bikes use the same codes or would that be a mistake? I have the owners manual for the Jetmax that has the codes in it.
2. Probably has to do with question 1 but after riding for a while and coming to a stop and waiting for a light. The RPMs will drop and raise eventually to the point where it stalls. It has always fired right back up and seems fine. Any ideas where I should poke around to figure this out. This bike has the computer and fuel injection so no carb to play with.
3. I've noticed in the maintenance manual and under the seat 3 aux relays. Can these be used to wire up a phone charger or should I go straight to the battery?
I got this bike mainly to teach my son and sister in law how to ride so last question is not a big concern but the other 2 will bug me. They both want to take the motorcycle safety school here in town but neither can drive a manual and its a bring your own scooter school. They are probably gonna do it next year but I want the bike in good shape for class and when out on the road with me.
The bike is a CFMOTO Glory 150, fuel injected, water cooled with a little over 4700 miles on it.
Thanx in advance for any help.

This came up on my Facebook and thought I would share it here. Video is a crazy rider. Also watch the behind the scenes vid. The link to it is in the comments.

@kat I'm thinking the top red toggle is for 4 way flashers because of the triangle marker next to it. The middle would be the kill switch.

I also will give a nod to DigiHud. I mount my phone with my RAM mount and usually never look at my speedometer. The only problem I had with it was the color(green) doesn't show up very well in the sun, especially when I have sunglasses and a tinted visor. Solved that by changing it to white and turning the screen as bright as possible.

I have an smh10 for my own use and plan on getting the smh5 for the wife. I ride with a modular helmet and can say that wind noise isn't a factor til up to about 60 mph or I have the visor up. The controls are easy to use with gloves on. Only 2 buttons and a rotary dial to use. Can't say anything about bike to bike comms but as far as music use the sena rocks. Just made sure you have ear pockets in your helmet for the speakers and take time to place them correctly. Stay safe

If you're still looking for an option to mount your gps check out ram mounts. I mounted my gps with one of there kits that attached to the brake reservoir. Not the cheapest option out there, I think all the parts cost me about $50 but its pretty solid and very adjustable.

Fuel Octane

Thanks for the input guys.
Rocky - Not sure which system for octane rating is used in manual, but the recommend SAE oils so I'm assuming its US octane.
Now if I can just figure out the radio life will be good.

Bought a used Jetmax 250. The user manual says to use octane but the highest I have found so far without ethanol is 91. Should I use the 91 and add an octane boost or use a with ethanol and add something else like sea foam? Bike just broke 1000 miles and don't want any engine troubles. This will be a daily driver (15-20 miles round trip to work and back) plus weekend runner. Also anyone know how to work the factory radio on? The user manual doesn't have anything on how to tune or pre-sets.

Funny that you mentioned Nolan because that's the brand I was looking at. Was thinking the N90 would be a nice addition plus they seem to be on sell everywhere I look for about $170. Will have to see what funds look like after Christmas. Was looking at the N104 but at almost $400 its a little steep for my wallet.
Have seen reviews on modular helmets and most say the Nolan line is some of the better vented helmets. So maybe one of your vents is plugged?

Glad to hear everything turned out alright except for a few bumps and bruises. I do most of my riding in the city and won't even think of getting on my scoot unless fully dressed( helmet, gloves, jacket, jeans and boots). Had the unnerving experience of watching the wife go down when she lost control in some gravel, Except for a bruised ego and knee she and the bike rode away clean. She also complained about being hot under all her gear but I believe it would have been worse if she wasn't dressed the part.
I wear an open face helmet with a shield because of my glasses but thinking of going modular. Has anyone worn a modular with glasses? If so any thoughts good or bad?

First you should have started another thread instead of hijacking this one
Second Alleyoop from what I've read and from experience I've had on this board knows what he's talking about.
So don't blow ppl off that are trying to help you. Anyways you should have 2 switches for your lights. 1 to turn on and another for high/low beam like Alleyoop said. Not that hard to figure which is for what as they should have little pictures on them.
