1800 is perfect idle speed.

Sounds like an air leak. Check the intake manifold and spacer if you have one.

Pretty sure that's what I said, just a lot less words.

Check the tank vent tube if you have one, it often goes to a charcoal canister. If that canister gets wet, it often becomes clogged. I had a tank venting issue, solved it by drilling a 1/8" hole in the gas cap, no more problems in over a year.

You are missing the point. Engine speed and MPH are not correlated on a CVT, it is designed to maintain constant engine speed, so bike speed is not a good metric to use when breaking in. Much better to concentrate on attempting to vary the engine speed during break in, that will help assure a good ring set.

Speed doesn't matter when breaking in a CVT based engine. It has no relationship to the engine speed. According to the owners manuals on the last 4 I looked at it does. That was 2 different Chinese scooters, an Aprilia and a Piaggio. Use a little common sense. You can red line at 20mph with a CVT, so why would mph matter? |

I'm still wondering about a hole in the fuel cap helping. It sure fixed my problems with fuel delivery issues last summer. Vapor lock or whatever you want to call it is more extreme with such small tanks, and high temps don't help.

Sounds like you may have a tank venting issue, easily fixed by drilling a tiny hole in the gas cap.
I also always recommend checking your valves when you have this sort of trouble after warm-up, or hard starting conditions.

Is it a single rear shock model? How much do you weigh?

Nice! Looks almost identical to the Ice Bear in my sig below, body styling that is. I imagine this design is made by several of the large Chinese manufacturers, and as you mentioned, some will have better specs from the factory, others will not be serviceable come Xmas. Glad to see you do some research ahead of time!

Hard to tell which hose is loose in that pic.

Yes police do sometimes get jaded when dealing with a community that totally disregards the law. Riding illegally and endangering on such a large scale and flaunting it is so over the top. Its no wonder though seeing how the parents of these young adults justify the unlawful behavior of their children. Note that in Germany Police have outfitted their BMW Motorcycles with crash bars just like their cars to bring down errant scooter riders who evade since illegal riders have become such a problem. I don't live in Germany, though I did serve there while in the US Army, and I don't care to have their lack of police brutality laws here in the US. Once again, my sole point is that the police have a job to do, and that is arrest those who break the law. They do not have the mandate nor the authority to punish people for those crimes. So there is no way to justify an officer attempting to harm an individual due to the fact they are breaking a law. Punishment is for the courts and the prison system, NOT for the police, and that is the line in the sand that is being crossed more and more often these days. |

While I wholeheartedly agree that no one committing illegal acts should get away with it, I also vehemently argue that the Police are not the ones who are supposed to hand out justice, that is the venue of the courts. By bumping a rider, they are acting as prosecutor, judge, jury, and jailer, none of which fall within their job description. I'm am sick and tired of people saying "he asked for it" when the Police do something to harm an individual beyond what is actually necessary to restrain and arrest that individual. The courts determine guilt and punishment, and even then are most often kept in check by the jury system. The Police need to remember what they are there for, to protect and serve, not to punish!
To the VAST majority of Police officers out there who put their life on the line every day without overstepping their role, I thank you. To that small minority who seem to be taking over the news on a weekly basis, I say shame on you!
