thanks for the advice guys!

hey john, thanks for the suggestion!

thanks again guys and gals for your input. i am thinking more and more about keeping my 250 for awhile. I think I have a love, hate relationship with it sometimes. No fault of the scooter though, it has been great for me. The weight sometimes is a pain but that is only when I fall off and got to pick it up!! LOL!

If anyone can tell me which socket size I need to remove the oil drain plug, it would be appreciated, otherwise, I'll try to find out which one it is.

I will be so glad of the day that I can really enjoy the ride instead of worrying ever minute I am on the bike. I know I should never feel that comfortable, but hopefully more comfortable that now. It has gotten a lot better though.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Guys,

Yeah, the minor spills are much more embarrassing than anything else. I fell right in front of my Mom's house. It was the first time she saw me riding and it made me a bit nervous so I fell right in front of her. Geesssshhh!!

I too think it is best to wait out the rain but this day I had a short break in the rain and thought that I'd make it home before it started to rain hard again, well I almost made it!

If I decide to keep my 250, I think I may just get new tires. I love the size of the bike and the speed of the bike. Feels really good to pull away from a tailgaters.

I am thinking of getting a 150cc. Maybe the new 2011 BMS Legend, just not sure. I do love my bike though. I think I'd miss my MP3 Player/FM radio. For some reason, when I am kinda nervous, it calms me to hear the radio. Kinda silly I know, LOL

Hello Everyone!

I finally had my first riding experience in the rain. It really started to come down once I got about a half mile from my house.

I am not sure if I was just scared to death but my scooter seemed to slide a bit a few times. Maybe it was just me being afraid. I have the original tires on my 2007 JCL 250A. Not sure if I will be keeping this scooter, kinda want something else. If I do keep it do you guys suggest upgrading my tires? My bike only has about 1000 miles on it. Will that help while driving in the rain?

I am riding my scooter almost everywhere now, but I am still very slow at turns. I also get a bit nervous when cars follow to close. This may be my imagination but it seems like women do this more than men. So far, it has not been a major problem, most drivers are very considerate here in Milwaukee.

Also what size socket is used to remove the oil drain bolt??!! I was told 17mm but that it was too small, I tried all the ones I have. Any suggestions??

Oh, and no offense intended ladies!

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys & Gals!

I finally got that transmission fluid out of my scoot. Wow!! I can't be lived how much better my scooter runs. What a difference! I hope to get the oil changed tomorrow. Could not find the right socket size to change it. Is it call a socket? Well, anyhooo, lol!!

Question, my scooter idles high, which is not that easy to handle for a newbie rider but if I turn it down even a bit it shuts off. I have about 800 miles on it. Could it need a valve adjustment already? It has been runnning hard since I bought it last October I have a JCL 250A, I hope it is the scoot that is easy to adjust the valves. I will look over the forum to see.

Also, I have not done anything to my scooter, but I use to have a very hard time starting my scooter if it sat over night. It is much easier now. It hardly take any effort at all. Is this because I have been riding it more or has God answered my prayers? Maybe both hey??

Oh, and the most exciting news, I rode to work for the first time today, wow it was great. I was a bit nervous but not as nervous as I thought I'd be. The funny thing is that I was more nervous coming home. One thing that surprised me is that I don't get as many tailgaters as I thought I'd get when riding. Even though I have not be riding long, it seems like Milwaukee drivers (for the most part) are very courteous. I do think I still need to practice my turns. Darn turns!!!

Well I like to thank all of you guys and gals for your help. I hope to be in a much better situation soon so I hope to be able to donate in the very near future. I learned so much over the last several months.

I am thinking of maybe taking a small engine class in the fall.

One thing at a time hey??

Thanks All
