That's good to know, thanks mate. A 3 and a half (ish) gallon tank would be perfect. My china 125 does 90mpg, I have a 90mile round trip commute, guess how big my tank is! Lol
Do you plan to update this thread, as you find more things to add to your review? I'd be very interested to watch your progress with the scoot.

What size is the tank? Having only bought a scoot because its "cheap" and "now", after a month of riding, I've thoroughly caught the bug, and I'm all ready looking at the next buy (when this one dies, or finish the finance, which ever happens first! Lol).
Does the Burgman come in a 250-300 size? How do the MPGs compare between the smaller ones and yours?
Thanks,
Ian.

Can you tell me where you got the reflective tape at.... Think it would a great add on to keep scooter visible at night. I was thinking the same thing. Obviously only about safety, it's all about safety, "Tron Light Bike" didn't come into my head once, not at all! I was only thinking "safety". Honest. |

I also made the move. Now the ride is on the PB app, it looks exactly the same as scootdawg!
It's like I never left........

Is the brake light circuit and starting circuit not on separate switches inside the one box (ie. multi pole switch)?
Failing that, check the resistance of your connections and wiring.

Do a resistance check across the switch (any old multi-meter will do). Switch open- >999MOhm Switch closed- 0.somethingOhm.

Have you still got that harness out and available? I'd suggest an insulation resistance check on all of it, and earth resistance checks as well. If you're using the correctly rated fuses, and they keep blowing the circuit is drawing too much current, it'll probably be a short, but you might not necessarily be able to physically see it.
