Alleyoop only 70??? I thought cavemen were from a loooong time ago? I would of thought about 50,070. Just kidding Alley. Hope you have many more birthdays.

I think it's one of the best times of the year for riding. I would much rather be a little chilled than sweating. It's been in the high 30's to low 40's over night here in SLC but in the low to mid 60's in the afternoon. It's supposed to last another week like this and then I'm afraid it will probably start getting just to cold for pleasure riding.
That brings up a good idea for a conversation. What are the things on your list that will keep you from riding. Let's leave out the obvious like blizzards or hurricanes.
My list begins with COLD (won't go out in anything below freezing unless I have to. Remember my scoot is my only source of motorized trans. Don't like to go out in anything below 45.)
Next HEAT. I have ridden in temps upto 105 but prefer not to ride if it's over about 97. (time to hear from our friend in So. Arizona here)
Wind can also be bad. Continuous gusts above 40 mph really cause havoc with my 150cc. I'll delay if I can on days like that. Luckily for me they are rare around here.
Wet is my last. A lite rain is ok for me but ain't going to happen in a steady down pour.
Anybody else have any deterents?

Now that's what I call having fun!!!

Just a thought. Have you checked the fuel filter? your symptoms sound just like what happened on my Toyota. Got stranded in the mountains and had to have it towed to my repair shop to find out it was something that simple.

Wanted to be the first to wish everybody a happy 4TH and find out what you are going to do today.

I'm going to watch my niece's daughter in a local parade, and then it's BBQ time.

Plan to really enjoy it. It's forcast to ONLY be 98 today, breaking our steak of 7 days over 100 degrees. (And now a word from Luke on how hot it is where he's at, LOL).

Wow, that super fox looks like the find to me.

First of all let me say IT'S FIXED!!!! I just went out and stripped all the palstic off again including the trunk and luggage rack (all has to come off to have access) and I started checking wires and connectors and found the connector to the r/r was loose. (no I didn't touch it any of the last 3 times I had the plastic off). I immediately got 13.75v read on idle after plugging it back in. Well at least now I know I can strip it down in only about 20 minutes. Practice really helps.

And also I have measured the battery compartment and can not find a battery to fit it at any of the retail outlets but have located one at "The Battery Store" that is 7ah but am waiting until I need it to order. The one I now have is almost 2years old and still works fine. If I don't have any other problems (like now) it usually maintains 12.5 to 12.7 volts with my erractic riding habits. I guess I'm just the son of my father who grew up during the depression and learned to use what I have and don't buy things that you don"t need. If you take care of things they will last.

Thanks for all the help guys. Even if it was something a simple as a loose connection I still learned a lot finding the solution, and I now feel I know my scooter better and am able to solve problems easier and faster from this experience.
