Are you checking the stator voltage with the meter set at AC or DC? You need to use the AC setting.

Contact the vendor and ask about the 7 vs 6 coil on clicking the part number. I doubt very much the 7 coil unit will work. If worse comes to worse, you can get several yards of magnet wire and rewind your old stator.

Not sure, but it seems to me more attention to the throttle is needed with the zip tie in place. I'll have to try it.

I do not use the extra lights daily and posted it as a option  . I re-read the thread, and I don't see any mention of option. You called them driving lights, and driving lights are wired to run all the time on any vehicle I have been around. Since you put a laughter smiley a the end of your post please tell me what the joke is so I can see the joke in my reply too.  |

Think of small terriers. In their mind they are at least as big as any other dog.
Now, think of scooters and trucks on the road
Thus, I nominate the TV theme song/country western song Big Wheels Rolling.

Those examples are for two wheel trailer hitches and are a fundamentally a totally different design.
My one wheel trailer construction --
There is a hole through the back axle.
A threaded rod goes through it from one side to another.
A tie rod ball is slid onto each end of the threaded rod and nuts installed and tightened .
The rest of the hitch is dropped onto the male thread tie rod ends, nuts placed and tightened.
The hitch is now fully mounted to the scooter and is free to rotate around the axle. This lets the trailer move up and down. The other end of the hitch is mounted to the trailer by a vertical rod running through a couple roll bar mounts from the top to the bottom of the trailer. This lets the trailer move from side to side.
The trailer if free to move vertically and horizontally but it has to lean with the scooter. Think of it as a big u-joint. Watch the video below.

I finished the new trailer hitch for my TMAX after dark last night and hitched it up in preparation for today. Today I put my camping gear in the trailer and towed for about 50 miles on various roads. I even had it up to crossing Kansas on the Interstate speeds. This steel tubing hitch tows the trailer with a lot more stability than the wood hitch did. Now, to take the hitch back off, clean it up, and paint it.

I can only IMAGINE what a brand-new fuel-injected, 4-valve 300 would be like! Read more: itistheride.boards.net/thread/5578/old-biker-learn-cvt?page=2&scrollTo=64044#ixzz2xg5jl6U9I rode with one who had a scooter of that nature. He didn't have the comfort of the Burgman and TMAX scooters for that 375 mile day, but he had no problem staying with us on the super slab sections or in the steep hills and sharp curves of SE Ohio. What I have noticed is that as the scooters I bought kept getting bigger and heavier, along with the speed and long duration comfort they became less and less of a scooter and more and more like a motorcycle with an automatic transmission, under seat storage, and a step through frame. My TMAX weighs almost 500 pounds. They call that a scooter? ROFL! In many ways I still miss the 250cc chinoscoot I had. |

Vultas, why would they name a motorcycle after a flying carrion eater?  |

What is with all this warm up business? Warming up an engine up by sitting and letting it idle is a waste of fuel and riding time.
I worked in an engine assembly plant. Let me describe what they do to a freshly manufactured engine.
They mount it to the hot start stand and connect what ever it needs to run.
They turn the motor over a few times to prime the oil pump
They start the motor and give the motor a few seconds to build oil pressure
They then wind it up to maximum RPM and hold it there for a minute or so
They let it idle for a few seconds to see if the idle is stable
They ship it
Start it, ride off moderately for a few minutes. Have fun.

What alleyoop said.
I have had chinoscooters for six or seven years, from 50cc to 250cc and played around changing carburetors as well. All of them idled at a consistant speed when adjusted correctly. Hot or cold engine, hot or cold weather, it didn't matter. The idle speed stayed below clutch engagement speeds.
You need to check the valve clearance and the intake for leaks and then get the carb checked/cleaned and adjusted right.

As a seller I got phone calls like that as well as emails. I simply tell them I'll answer questions, but no negotiations until they show enough interest to come out and look at it.
None of them came to look at it. I have better success putting a sigh on it in my driveway.
As a buyer, I'm not about to make offers on Craig's List stuff, sight unseen.

tire size

I have that tire (different size of course), on the back of my TMAX. Price is right and it meets my requirements. It is round, concentric with the rim, easy to balance, and holds air. I'm still working on how long it wears. If there is a decent life time of wear I will get another when needed.

The best trick I found is to go talk to the city engineer.
