I'm back to square one. I took it for a test drive and shredded the belt. I ordered a new kevlar belt and a clutch assembly. Oh well. I'll be back running on Thursday

I'm up to 6500 miles. I was having the squealing noise so I took the clutch apart, sanded the pads and the bell. The squeal is 98% gone. The pads looked okay to my untrained eye. How long do they typically last for? I'm borrowing an impact wrench so if it needs to be changed I have the right tools for the job at this moment.

Is it a 50cc?,,,once you get the bearing issue solved I'm thinking 35-40 on a good day I think it's a belt not a bearing. It squeaks at idle and gets louder under load. The guy before me said he replaced the belt recently but considering he sold me the scoot for $80 to pay off a payday loan...I'm sure it wasn't a high quality belt. I wouldn't be surprised if he bought it at old navy.  |

LOL,,it just sunk in $80 for a whole scoot!!!!  ,,, wow,,,what's the running total? $200?? Yup I'm at about $200 total. I put about 50 miles on it this morning. I live on the beach so I think wind has a lot to do with my top speed. Into the wind I'm averaging low 30's with a tail wind I've seen 40. I have a lot of draw bridges around when going uphill it struggles to maintain 25 but down hill....I've hit 45  |

I knew you were going to say that. I just replaced the back tire this morning. Had it off with the exhaust. I'm going to putt around this weekend and try to pin point it. I'm just amazed I paid $80 for this thing and got it running in a day.
It only needed an oil change, new spark plugs, new bulbs, new mirrors, new brake handles, a rear tire, and a good cleaning.

Thanks for the help guys. I got it working. My real issue was a broken brake handle. I fixed that and now everything works.
I took it out for my first test drive, everything sounds good. There's a dull grinding sound. I'm 99% sure its the bearings. I read the manual and it said to grease with white lithium....but I don't see how to access the bearings. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!
I'm going to hook it up in the morning. Fingers crossed it works.

Can you explain the wiring of the bulb. There is a wire that goes directly to the side of the base (green on the connector) I assume that's the bulb ground. Then the green/yellow and brown go to the two posts on the bottom of the bulb.

Hello all,
I just picked up a new to me Bintelli Sprint. The scooter runs fine but it was having an issue with the tail lamp. I purchased the new wiring harness and when I match colors up I can not get it to work correctly. There are three wires. Brown, green/yellow, green. I hook them up to the right colors but when I hit the brake the light goes out, when I take my hand off the brake the light is one. What am I doing wrong?
