Messages like that mean they're texting I discovered; it's the lingo of the medium. I'm not really crazy about it either but that is the way a lot of people communicate now and I guess we better get used to it. I try to keep it in perspective in that at least they chimed in and were trying to help. Another texter would not have thought a thing of it; I find that a little bit disconcerting. Rich

I can't make heads or tails of it, but I try to get the idea of what is written. In any event running 3/4 on the hot side isn't great. I live in SC and it was 102 the other day and mine never went over the 1/2 point on the temp gauge.

Sunlproblems have you changed your coolant? If it has a blue color to it I would drain the system , flush it several times, and put Prestone 50/50 mix in.

I didn't think SunL's had problems.

[sunlproblems]

yes it has had the fluid changed sorry if u dont understand texting but thats life the bike was designed to be an air cooled but the factory made it watercooled i will put some new coolent in it this week when i change the rest of the fluids then i will go from there thanks for all your saport

[sunlproblems]

i write short form because i have problems spelling sorry bout my luck. but life goes on with me thats why if someone needs help or ansrews my thead with good advice i ask thewm to call me so i can just talk instead of type thanx 4 the input!

[speedracer]

I don't think your engine was air cooled then changed by the factory to water cooled. As far as I know all china 250 scooters are water cooled.

If its running at 3/4 hot is the fan running constantly?

[sunlproblems]

not that i can tell now it is back to halfway the scooter i have is the same as the sunl sl 150 19 and the bms teamguy 150 the tank touing 150 all have the same body parts on it and the roketa jammaca is also the same theres a jmstar aircooled that is also the same when i turn my bike off then back on before i start it i hear the fan when the engine is still warm it went up to the last mark bofore being in the read i slowed back down and it went back to three quaters sorry if i have words spelled wrong i try so that is why i said it was an aircooled frame with a watercooled engine from the factory plus i read a thread that said that but anyway it runs at halfway marek most of the time thanx

[sunlproblems]

well i was on parts places seems the reamguy 150 is also water cooled doesnt sound rite but anyway is there anyway to hard wire my fan to stay running or is that a bad idea? please help me with this problem thanx i rode 4 miles home and the temp gauge was just above halfway.

[sunlproblems]

well update my fan comes on at the halfway mark so i dont no what todo
