Scooter just started right now on the first try without hesitation, so I guess the starter clutch is just sticky. Glad I have towing insurance. When it almost didn't start earlier, I had just bought ice cream and it was 90 degrees outside. The ice cream melting was my biggest concern. lol

I changed the gear oil a couple months ago. Maybe I should change it again to see if it helps unstick the starter clutch.

My first scooter was a used 125cc 1988 Yamaha Riva. I put 10,000 miles on that scooter. My current scooter is a Genuine Buddy 170i.

Geez what is the matter with you guys the springs are weak that is what usually goes on the starter clutchs.
The springs are the weak part of all starter clutchs. So yea take it out look at it give it a blessing and a kiss and hope it doesn't completely just stop working. Hope your ride also has a kickstarter.
