Hi you are? Replaced tire value stems with metal ones, added dnyo beads, rides smoother now,
Ran for a 100 mile cruse, enjoyed it, except for the twenty minutes of rain. Scoot ran great, no
Problems. Will have to change out the cheap air filter material , with stainless steel mesh, the wasp
Will eat it and leave dirt dobber nest inside the vaiator cover, will cover all holes & inspect regularly. Yo'll take care.

Hi y'all are, found the problem with the brake lites, there is a 1/16" post under each brake lever,
With a very small box & set screw . You have to lay on your back to see this. Back off set screw
& adjust till post touches the brake lever, set screw & check your lites, also when not touching
The cycle will start without holding in on brake lever, & brake lites stay on! Wire up volt meter &
Aux charger for IPad . Have pictures, don't know how to post. Also found headlites adjustment ,
Up/down right/left. Had to remove plastic , hands too big to work under, while mounted. As for fog
Lites, DOT have too hight voltage, for these cycles. Years ago mounted a set on a Yamaha, they were great , but can not find anymore. Still waiting for new varator , guess ill play with the dogs,
Wonder if I can harness them up?

That's the same address I found, also the so called fog lights were not so bright .
Having a problem with the added brake light? I believe it is shorted out with the the running
Light, although I checked out both, before mounting. Still working on it. Waiting on
A new varator , will have to go to work for the next week. Parts should be in by then.
Looking for a hot wire, when the key is on? Want to wire up my volt meter.
I guess I'll have to remove the front plastic to adjust the headlites .

Some of the welds were sharp enought to penetrate the protective wire sheath and the wire.
Had to rewrap the wires, repaint the bare metal, & tie wrap. I've already put 180 miles on scooter
Changed oil, also drove at night, to check out lights, need to adjust headlites. Will have to remove
Front plastic. Brake lites did not impress me, will have to add another set! Also vaiator has cracks
Running to each cooling blade! Cannot get in touch with the seller!

How y'all are? Just got my scoot, performing my first PDI. Boy did I step inti it, Finding out how little I know! Learning more each day.

Plan on changing to LEDs, added another LED brake light, also will add flasher unit. Have spotted some LEDs fog lights, will mount on front . Any help or ideas will be Welcomed . 62' Yamaha 50 to  ' Yamaha 550 Vision |
