I might do that to my other two bikes but this one is not mine, it belongs to a buddy.

You just gotta get out there and ride. I run with a 10" wheeled 150 and while the wind can be a pain, I still ride routinely with gust of 40. and I'm not afriad to cruise it at 50 in those conditions (tops out at 57gps)....

yeah, the weights are way to heavy. I'm running a HOCA 115mm variator with 11 gram weights and I get 57(gps confirmed) out of my 10" wheeled vintage (verano 150) and I weigh 310.
Just curious, do you have an EGR head on yours?

Maybe you can help your friend more times, "test" it on the highway for him and all. (wink) >'Kat Yeah, I told him that since it's Italian, oil changes in the spring time take about 4 weeks, but they only take 30 minutes in the winter. LOL |

It's not kicking back when it's starting, it's kicking back when it dies... Maybe kickback is the wrong term for this. The CDI is so buried in this thing that I haven't even seen it. I will take a look saturday and see if it's a stock one. I'm gonna take it apart again, on saturday.... I guess I'll screw down that idle speed screw before starting it next time, then back it down when it's running. I gotta say, I'm not real impressed with 250's. At least not so far. I love the 150s tho. You were talking about the thrust washer... do the 250's have this on the starter clutch? Oh then your starter clutch is fine, what it is doing on yours is what they call "dieseling" after shut off. Couple of things to try: 1. Lower the Idle it could be to high. Should be idleing around 1800-2000 2. The plug is to hot may need a colder plug. 3. You can try a different grade of fuel as well(higher octane) to slow the burn. Alleyoop Yeah, diesling.... and it hammered on the starter clutch. After it diesled, the clutch just would freewheel. I got it to work finially, rocking the engine back and forth from the variator. And its doing this when it's cold... don't know yet when it's up to operating temp. You know, I have an idea I'm gonna try tonight. I'm wondering if there is something up with the fuel pump. The bike is acting like it's got a huge vacumme leak. I've seen a few of these pumps have internal vacuume leaks. I bought a new one to replace a weak pump on my 150 on time, and the new one had a vacuume leak so bad, the bike wouln't even idle. |

The engine is called a helix clone. I too don't like the looks of the helix but I'd own one as they are an awesome scooter.

Mine has a performance variator (115mm) and 11 gram wieghts. I do 70 indicated on the speedo and 57 via GPS. It's a 150 Verona w/ 10" wheels, all stock except for the variator and the variator is not tuned (just the rollers that came with it) and I weigh 310. big ol' redneck on a little red scooter  |

It's a good looking scooter. 60mph is probably an exaggeration on top speed. 50-55 is more realistic depending on conditions. I like that it has a glove box and looks like it has quite a bit of space under the seat. Do they include a trunk? How much is it? I like the instrument cluster.
