I will let you know when I get them, but they should be plug-n-play since they are lower wattage and support a range of DC voltages.

Sorry, that was a typo. It should have said "the people who originally assembled it WEREN'T the most qualified dealers."
It was some Brazilian guys working out of a storage unit.

It was driven to my house and I just assumed it was in working order. I haven't had any problems with it, so never really worried about while I waited for the break-in period. When I first bought it, it was just for fun as a toy, didn't think I would start modding it or care about performance.

Made sure you have scooter on center stand on a flat area. Doh! You are a genius! The dipstick reads a little less than half now when fully screwed in, about a quarter full when not screwed. I should probably still change it, it seems really low and I don't know what was in there originally. I don't believe there is a leak because I keep it in the garage and there are no drops, but the people who originally assembled it were the most qualified dealers. |

Well, I've changed the oil on 2 of these and was told to not screw it in, and it should be at the line or slightly above, HOWEVER, I tried screwed in and not screwed in... and it was dry all the way down the whole thing!
I think I will change it and put some good stuff in, but am I really doing any damage by not waiting for the 300km break-in?

So I only have 190km on my scooter and haven't done the first break-in oil change, but I took out the dipstick, cleaned it, and checked the oil a few times... dry! How is this possible? My engine runs fine! Should I go ahead and change the first oil now then?

I just ordered a chrome scoop off eBay, but my stock fan cover doesn't have the holes for it. I could get another fan cover, but mine has a bolted on sign saying something about passing emissions tests at 7150 rpm, etc. Is that necessary? Should I try to put the scoop on some other way, or buy a fan cover that has holes and sacrifice the emissions sign?

Krylon Fusion spray paint is great for plastics. You'll get an even coat with spray.

I have an  and I'm getting good results. Performance exhaust coming next week, but I don't think it will change things much. |

I guess I'm afraid of taking a risk because of lack of knowledge.
What's the worst that will happen? They don't fit? They don't turn on? Will it melt a wire or blow a fuse? If it turns on, does that mean it's good?

I'm trying to use that, but I have to make a lot of assumptions based on what it looks like and I'm no expert.
