I'm not talking about the clothes kind either! My wife's sister needed some bucks because of 
D-I-V-O-R-C-E so I bought this fugly scooter off of her for $500.00:
Who designed this thing? It looks like a genetic mutation of a normal scooter. I guess I could live with the way it looks (have to if I'm going to live with the significant other :
but it runs like crap. It sat unused for about a year except for when the el-creepo ex got off his arse once in a while to start it. I've already dropped 80 bucks into a battery from a dirt bike shop and am not wild about pouring more money into it. It's got this emblem on the back:
A buddy of mine who's kinda into scooters said this is CF moto which is a good scooter. Maybe so but this is what it does:
1. Starts but only after cranking it for about five minutes and nursing the throttle
2. Once it gets going it will run kinda OK after about 10 minutes
3. It does bog down with very much throttle so you have to slowly twist the throttle and nurse it up to speed.
4. If I shut it down for just a few minutes I have to go through the nurse Ratchet thing again to get it going. If I shut it down but start it back up right away it'll start pretty easy.
5. Top speed is 52 MPH by my GPS, is this normal?
I've worked on bikes up to about 500cc but this thing is weird. The cylinder is verticle and there's no shifting, just twist the throttle (very slowly). There's a lot of hoses and a couple black plastic canisters on it too, I guess this is pollution stuff. I've already got some digs about this thing from my friends about the way it looks. Maybe if I can get it going right they'll shut up (I doubt it
). So is this Moto company OK? Any suggestions on getting it running right? Is there a manual somewhere for this thing? The loser ex-husband says he doesn't have a manual but he's not being helpful....he's being a real schlong about the whole thing. I just need a place to start on fixing this thing....HELP!
