yeah, sucks for sure! I am a fairly well known guy on the docks of the New bedford waterfront, so I do have a network of some "not-so classy guys (if you catch my drift). These poor souls do not know the scope of the mistake they made. I wouldn't want to be them if they are found by my associates before the police.These kids are the young bucks who have no idea of what they just did.or who they did it to.

If the error was linear it might work. I was wondering about that,If it's a mechanical (geared) speedometer, I don't see any way that it could not be linear. Ratios should stay the same throughout the range. |

In my own HUMBLE OPINION< you guys are making WAAAY too big a deal out of leaving an engine idle for 4 months or 120 DAYS .we're not talking 120 months or 10 years here. Just put in some fuel stabilizer, and forget it till spring. Nothing bad will happen. Sorry but experience dictates that only works for some of the people some of the time. You need to put the stabilizer in and ride around a bit so the entire fuel system get treated including the carb bowl to have a more reliable treatment. Even with a fuel stabilizer 120 days may be stretching it in some climates if you do not start it up every week or 2. If you do go with just the stabilizer be sure you start out with fresh gas from a reputable gas station and not some out of the way no namer that sends trucks around to drain the old gas that has collected in the bottom of the storage depots tanks that the major suppliers won't sell or gas that has been sitting in a can out in your shed for a while. Agreed. Put in good gasoline, sta-bil, run it for a few miles, and store the battery indoors. Always worked for me, and mine was outside(covered) through a few blizzards. Never had any problems running it when springtime came. And I rode that one for 7 seasons and 16,000 miles. |

I just put sta-bil in mine, went for a short ride, parked it, removed the battery and brought it inside,(the battery not the scooter) and left the thing to hibernate.I ran that scooter for 7 years doing that, and only bought 2 batteries.And we have some harsh winters here in New England.

It's probably a bearing. I would check them,and also check the nut on the steering stem (triple tree). Usually when that is loose, you get more front to back play and a knock when you apply the brake.Best to remove the front wheel and check out everything.You can check the resistance of the shocks individually also that way.
