That's awesome man. It's getting harder and harder to find places like that here. The city has just about ruined them all. Jacksonville is a massive city. I have to drive 45+ minutes away to even come close to something like that. That is a sweet looking lil scoot too. Have fun brother, have fun. I feel for you. I often complain about the 30-45 minute drives to go get things that I need done but the one upside of living in the garden part of the "Garden State" is that it's a lot of beautiful open countryside and beaches. I don't think I could ever go without it having lived so near it my whole life. Thanks man, I will continue having a blast.  |

So just an update, I got in under the CVT cover and found absolutely nothing abnormal. I was stumped. I decided what the heck since I had everything apart anyway and did a valve adjustment. Completely solved the issue. I've run it several times today around town and have not had the wheel spin at idle once since then.

Huh, well the tach being off is definitely something I hadn't considered. I have no previous experience with this particular engine so it's tough for me to be the judge of when exactly she is idling too low or too high, I just know what sort of "sounds right." I do know that when I turn it down to the point where it's below about 800 or so on my tach it starts to kind of sputter and not really enjoy life so much, at least thats how it seems. It's much smoother when I have it higher, but then my wheel spins like crazy.
CVT cover is coming off TODAY. I will report back with as much info as possible.

Nothing beats it guys! Been having the most fun I've ever had on the road with this little monster. Even the most familiar places feel new again.

It could be the variator binding and holding closed a bit . Don't be intimidated by what is under the cvt cover . Its not a bad thing to overhaul the clutch even if it is not where the problem is coming from . I like to break it all down clean it up real nice get all the chinese grease out , lube all the slides and pivot points sand the pads and bell to get the glaze off . One thousand rpm is low , I suspect the tach is off too . How far from NYC are you Captin ? John I'm practically in Cape May. |

"...adjustable thing here"--that's so darling! Seriously, nice review. Not a helmet for me since I require modular (glasses wearer). Plus my Nolan has spoiled me with its locking click latch rather than D-rings. But I'm sure it'll help others who are trying to figure out a decent yet inexpensive helmet to get. Next helmet I get needs magic fairy dust or something that keeps me from fogging the visor. Yes, even on warm days. What can I say? I'm just that hot!  >'Kat Haha thank you for the kind words SylvreKat, I appreciate it. |

Also if there is a sudden change in idle speed you could have leaky intake or vacuum line. Sometimes when valves get out of adjustment there will also be an initial increase in idle speed. So be sure to verify that the carb is bolted on securely as are the intake clamps. Also give the vacuum lines a good inspection. Nothing changed about the idle suddenly or anything, it was just that right before that ride I had let the wheel stop spinning before we mounted it and took off around some back roads and then when we stopped at a nearby pond I noticed the scooter wanting to take off by itself at low speed which brought me to my initially thinking that the throttle had stuck a little. When I got home and put it on the center stand the wheel was still spinning and it was trying to walk away from me while I was kicking down the stand. Since I posted this video I adjusted my idle back down to about 700-800 and it doesn't spin anywhere even close to fast enough to move the scooter anymore or even fight me in the least and it actually runs a bit better since doing so. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to get out and check under the cover. |

Idle is a tad high. Are you adjusting the idle mix screw or the low idle stop screw on the throttle linkage side of the carb? Other than that a roller could have flipped and is preventing the variator from opening up fully. A failing clutch spring not pulling back one of the pads so that its always dragging whenever the engine is spinning is a possibility but... I'm adjusting the screw on the throttle linkage for idle. My air mix is capped I believe, but I would love to have access to it. I will look in to the variator thing and see if (pray) that's it. I'm only leaning towards something in the clutch because of other issues I've seen with the clutch pads/springs that result in this kind of behavior. Thanks for chiming in man, just hoping I can get it back to normal over this weekend. |

I like the modern, aggressively styled, and/or rugged-looking scooters. Ones like the Kymco Super 8 and on the rugged side the Yamaha Zuma.   |

As the title states my rear wheel has a continuous turning, even after the enricher has closed off (I checked), and my idle has been adjusted every which way possible to test it. I attempted to fix it by adjusting my throttle cable tightness at the handle, thinking my throttle was stuck open since it would actually try driving out from under me last night while standing at a stop. Here is a video of the problem with some explanation.
I know it's likely that it could be the clutch in some way, but I'd like to explore any other options before I go that far. Any suggestions?

scooter it's just a way of notifying people that you're continuing a conversation with them, or alerting them.
