Small world. I'll have to check the kill switch. Last year when I was trying to get it running I might have switched the wires on the kill button. Another thing I noticed is that at the front under the seat the is a white plastic thing with a cap on it if it fills with gas the engine will start. I can see that the fuel pump is pumping gas it it, but it seems that it won't keep it full to keep the engine running. Do you have any ideas about this? Thanks in advance.

I've still got my Jmstar. Still only starts if I jump across the starter seloniod. I can leave the key in my house. All the lights work with the key. But not the engine. I'm going crazy with this.

Before you totally give up on riding try a ride on a dirt bike with the long suspension set soft. I have a bad back and the majesty scooter I was riding was killing my back. Picked up a klx250, set the 9" travel shocks for soft and problem gone. A scooter can not ride easy and soft because of the way the engine has to move when the rear hits a bump. I believe they call dirt bikes bikes with street tires motards. Kawasaki has a klx in that configuration, so do the chinese. They usually have slightly smaller wheels to give a better selection of street tires. A 17" rear instead of a 18". I've always liked the ride of a on/off road bike. That's worth considering. |

My short term plans are to continue to get it to work correctly. It runs real hot and I have to jump the starter seloniod to start it and pull the plug to turn it off. Maybe, just maybe I'll ride it next year. I really don't plan on selling it. It's my wife that has plans on what to spend the proceeds on. Again thanks to all.

I'd like to thank everyone who has given me info on my Jmstar 250 SSR. But I recently found out that I have to have the lower half of my spine fused as the result of a blown disc back in 1980. So my riding days have just ended. If I find anyone needs scooter info, you can be sure this forum will be referred to. Such a shame, I was looking forward to riding it. On the up side, I still have my pickup truck. LOL.

Nor do over inflated or under inflated. It's a fine line.

That's what I figured the manuals said, nothing.

What do the owners manuals say about tire pressure for these things?

So what pressures do you guys like on a 250cc scooter? I realise your answers will vary.

I always thought that was the maximum inflation pressure of the tire.
