there should be a cable running from your front tire to the gauge cluster. Whenever the tire rotates it turns the cable and that turns something(gears?) in the gauge cluster. then that moves the speedo needle up and also work the odo. I am unsure of hwto fix this. But your odometer is inaccurate for the same reason as the speedo. I hear that these gauges are usually inaccurate but double! That's crazy. Are u sure it is notin kph? I haven't seen a speedo go up to 110 in mph

The valves were tighter than they needed to be. did .004 on intake, .005 on exhaust, started right up afterwards. Guess who found another problem! Turned the pilot screw on carb all the way clockwise, and the engine did not shut off like usual when I do a/f adjustments. maybe its the cause of issue #1

Bashan, I am by no means upset, noboody is required to help, and yall do help, and Im appreciative. so hopefully she didn't paddle you too hard, unless your into that lol. I have not ordered yet! Its probably better that I diagnose the issue before I order, since need to remove the regulator to see if FLP or not. My father is going to help me today with some diagnosing since my volt meter messed up and he has a meter.

So since I am not working on the scoot tonight hands on. Lets try out some hypothetical mechanics. The head light issue, could be caused by the r/r. And the battery issue, also by the r/r. With this info, we can theorize that the scoot has a bad r/r. Before wasting another hour tinkering. (because it looks like it might rain outside and I broke my volt meter as well) I will order a new r/r i found on ebay for a measly $10.(time is money, and this cost beats me waisting more time just to figure out it probably is the r/r. Thank you ctpgs, steelblade, bhinch, and bashan for the input, and the smack talk, I honestly appreciate the help and I will keep you updated.

Mine is in the storage area under the seat. I relocated it there in feb. Its possible it may have overheated and messed up. 100 degree texas weather plus low air flow to cool it off could be the culprit

ctpgs, that would be cool if its just a valve adjustment, I already purchased my feelers gauges and will adjust this weekend. Steelblade, When I bought the this bike 1.5 yrs ago, it had 8hundred miles on it and the dealer guy put fresh acid in the battery, thereby making it like new. I know something charges the battery, I just no its not belt driven like the alternator u mention. Where did you get this 20$ solar panel, Ive been looking for one. I started my scoot today and checked the voltage on the leads(terminals) with the battery removed and was only getting 8.5 volts from the scoot. I dont believe that is good enough to keep me charged. So where should I start checking? Is this stator thing behind the flywheel? so I can check my connections there.

Another day another problem! So somethings have been happening to my scoot recently. got to 5000+ miles with no probs. Now problems are occuring every other day. Let me explain from the start and perhaps with yalls expertise, I will be running right soon.
2009 Vitacci Elite(chinese)(hunter style) 150cc 4 stroke
Issues 1. Morning ride to work, less than 10 minutes on road, Higher than normal idle.(3k vs the usual 2 k) this is before the auto-choke kicks in I assume. then after it warms up It goes down to a deathly low rpm(1200) and sometimes dies at lights. So the first issue is why is it idling so how pre warmup?
2. Several days after that, the headlights stopped working. One time while riding at night I noticed my headlights were not working. I left it at a friends since my house was 30 minutes away. The next day I drove it home and noticed that they had started working again! The day after that they went out permanently. I have two headlights and two running lights. the running lights work. and I tested the headlight with a different hot wire and they do work. so I believe that problem could be traced to a black box(relay?) on the handlebars with 4 pins. One black, one green, one dark green, and one yellow.
3. Several days after the second issue, my rpm gauge messed up and even when im at 7k motor rpms, the the gauge only will go up to 3500rpm. Possible electrical issue there???
4. Several days after that I rigged my headlights. Using a free wire from the harness,(possible for a radio connection, I connected that to the head lights and made sure it was seperated from the original wire as to not cause any issues. two days. after that , my battery will not charge correctly, or maybe not charging at all. It only showed 10 volts yesterday and would not start scoot, I had to jump it, I drove it today, and it still had 10 volts and would not turn starter. I had to jump it again. I disconnected my headlight rig and am charging my battery, tomorrow I will see if that was the problem....But if it is not the problem, what would yall think the problem is???
Thanks in advance for the help!

Yep, that's it, ok thanks for advice. I will not remove it. How about the shock connected to it, can it be removed. I'm at a weight that both shocks make for a stiff ride...

I ok, that's what I was thinking. I have that and its not connected to anything and I have not seen anything it would connect too. I have had absolutely no problems with my scoot with that wire not co nnected to anything, so I just tiewrapped it to the frame.
