this is a multiple problem thread... all pretty min or .. i think.. but would like some feedback
mp3 player... are there any substitutes or *useful* mp3 bluetooth units that can be put on the scooter in place of the piece of junk that it comes with?
gear oil... i changed the gear oil.. as best i could.. based on honda pics that matched what was under my cover... it bled out ok.. i tried to put some in without a squezee bottle... i know i got some in.. as it over flowed... tightened things up.. put the cover back on... (that was a nightmare... thats a different problem for another posting) fine.. looked ok for a day or two then i noticed leakage on the ground.. not good.. engine runs ok.. there doesn't seem to be any damage to the gear?... as it funs sweet at 50mph.. but a tad rough up to 35 or so... nothing bad.. but just not sweet... any ideas?
temp gauge ... its getting a bit warm in arizona... and for a day or two the gauge was at HIGH... even for short hops.. 1.5 miles or so... i added coolant.. burped it per instructions i found here... let it run on stand.. added more .. . it seemed to work ok... now the gauge can get hot.. at a stop light... but cools down quickly 15 seconds later after i take off... is this possible.. to go from HIGH.. to medium temp on the gauge.. in such a short time.. really 15-20 seconds
im baffled

hmmm this has me wondering... I've not used my radio/player thing on my yy250t at all.. i looked at it once.. used a couple buttons.. got little or no response.. and decided it was of no real value... now however... i wonder if there are good radio/players that could replace the stock thingamabob i have .... any ideas?

fillup at 550 miles... 2 gallons (2.06) and 102 miles on trip meter... 51 mpg.. all stop and go errands... not bad.. I can't complain about it.. its a prime reason for buying the scoot.. along with the joy of riding... i think I've topped out in mpg.. so i won't post mileage further..

my first scooter (tank- bought on line ) was DOA.. i had two batteries i rotated every 48 hours.. 4000 miles it was enough to make a grown man cry... second scooter (pegasus - big wheels bought from dealer) ran like a champ... never failed me... one battery.. started every time 8,000 miles right up until i didn't tighten the oil plug enough and it shook it self out and the oil with it... 3rd scooter.. yy250t from same dealer... so far (knocking wood clicking heels bowing to the east mumbling secret words) has not failed me so far.. 550 miles... my confidence is increasing ... 1 of two things.. either chinese quality is getting better... or its hit or miss with a chinese scooter... I'm can do only basic maintenance so i need reliability.. its too early to tell.. but i think this scooter is a keeper.. very sorry to hear about the breakdown... but then I've had american cars that did me wrong miles from home on a hot arizona day with no tow insurance... not sure what that means.. but .. crap happens

im expecting much better mileage next fillip.. just a guess.. but it occurred to me.. I'm have been riding in the 40mph range .. slow break in... and last few days.. I've accelerated to 50+ on the streets where its a mile to the next light... and the gas gauge has moved down a bit slower when i look at the miles driven since last fillip.. just a guess..

heres my 2c to the chinese factories... hire ONE good translator... and re-write every scooter manual... in plain english.. better still.. use an index from a japanese scooter firm.. and flesh out the 15 page manuals out there... next... hire QA people red tag poorly assembled scooters and have em reworked... next... add $25 or so to the quality parts and eliminate dozens of petty problems... last.. pay employees a little better... I'm gonna guess here.. and I'm pretty sure I'm right.. that some/many scooters assembled get some minor sabotage... not fatal.. but enough to cause purchaser a problem down the road... in summary... for an extra $100 - $200 bucks.. you have a scooter you can be proud to sell...

im gonna chime in here... i wouldn't use a scooter on a freeway... even a 250... i am conscious of the small wheels turning ... a motorcycle over 450 or so.. i have no problem... larger wheels.. better acceleration to get out of a jam... i use my scooter for intern errands or visitations etc..  |
