Hey all, I bought a used 2014 Bintelli Scorch earlier this yr. I love it - or should I say "loved" it. It started having problems not long after buying it but I need some advice. Is there any Scorch owner forums on this site?
I whiped out twice when making some turns and did some damage to my left handlebar assembly and I know I must have done some damage else where.
1 - how do you get the plastic front cover off (it houses the two headlights btw)? I had some electrical problems and I looked under the front cover to check the wiring and found a wire that was disconnected. (maybe from whiping out) The wires at that point are all around the frount fork and get moved around by the fork when you turn the handle bars to make a turn.
2- I found a lose vacum hose and can not figure out where it is supposed to be attached to.
3- I did not know I was supposed to run hi-octane so I run regular for the first few hundred miles. Did I do any damage?
4- I lost electrical power from the battery and it will not start electronicly. I have to kick start it.
5- There are other issues also. If you live in St. Louis I would love to have you over to the house. I will give you all the beer you can drink (and BBQ ribs) and mybe a few bucks if you can get me started on fixing this (@#$%^&) thing.

most scooters use the same basic platform with differing body styling. i'm going to assume you have the 50cc model? not sure how to get the front off for the lights. hoses either go to the fuel system or the emissions system you'll have to find out which. non ethanol fuel is what you want. ethanol will ruin a carb on any small engine. it will run on regular 87 but it probably like the higher octane better. loss of electrical could be bad or undercharged battery, dirty or loose cables or dirty or loose ground to frame connection.
