You might take the rear wheel off and inspect the inside of the drum, and another thing it is possible that it has some foriegn sub on the inside. I would also check the wheel, scooter on the center stand by spinning it by hand watching different points for out of round and side wobble.

Seems most of the private owner listings in my area are way above what most buyers are willing to pay. There is a person who is advertising an 81 goldwing for $3000, probably 1/2 of what it sold for new 34 years ago and I think this will be the 3rd year he posts it never dropping the price a penny.

Most of the craigs list stuff by owners is well over the nada or bluebook by 1/3 and the rest is junk. Most of the dealers on CL won't even list a price so I choose not to look at dealer listings. I think this may be a local thing. I am a little reluctant to bid on an ebay listing especially if it is so far I could not drive over and look at it/

They claim a car tire on a bike is as good on corners as a bike tire. I just happen to ready to try a car tire on my majesty. Probably later on this summer. Its called dark siding. If the side walls are at all flexible the tire on dmartin95's scooter will track decent too.

Have watched videos of rear tires in a lean where camera was placed under the bike and from what I have seen they track just as good as a round profile bike tire. (with at least as much rubber in contact with the road) And they last 4 times as long. I don't think I would be tempted to race one though.

check bearing on steering head and are you counter steering?

For $4999 you can buy a brand new 2014 cbr500 That all you have to do is climb on board and ride. $1500 less! That guy on ebay is just looking for an idiot too stupid to learn how to shift or even too stupid to talk to others in his area about what is good.

If he is looking to tour there are a gazillion goldwings used on craigs list in that price range serviced and ready to ride.

Didn't they used to call them things a "flow chart"?

Sounds like you probably caused the problem your self........,...Where does it say you replaced the fish oil the scooter shipped with before starting it..... When you get a new scooter the first thing you need to do is drain out the shipping oil as part of a PDI and replace it with real oil. Piston and cyl are cheap, maybe $50 or so. Isn't the end of the world.
