Ok.. So here is the next thing.. took it to work again today.. And it seems takes forever to warm up.. I live in Florida so its not cold. The best way I can describe what's happening is it feels like its missing like in a car.. When you start out it goes.. but feels like its trying to catch up I guess. I don't know can't explain it. I would love to try to video it while im riding.. but bad enough feels like im rocking that I don't want to risk it...
On another note. My tail lights seem to be out.. (Brake lights work) head light works, dash lights all work.. just the tail lights.. does this thing have fuses for the lights??

Just want to say you guys are all awesome... And mine does sit for a few days at a pop and that may be the reason.. Loved Alley's tutorial. I printed it out so I can follow it.. Im also going to change out the valve stems.. I don't need a blowout. Went and got 1 1/4 in valves from Tractor Supply... hopefully much better...
So all in all you guys don't think its the valves right?? Cause I really don't want to mess with those.. I will check what Alley told me to do.. and see from there...
Just getting used to this thing... When im riding .. (with the wind being extra) it feels like im not stable even though im sure I am.. when I had my 150cc.. that felt fine.. just getting used to the weight of this thing plus my big arse on it... on this little 10in wheel.. wish there was a way to modify this scooter... but all in all.. its nice to keep up with the traffic..

NO, the wheel doesn't go anywhere when on the center stand... I was reading about the air/fuel screw should I turn that at all?? It rides pretty good after running for a bit... when Im stopped.. its hard to explain.. it feels like it wants to stall.. but it keeps running.. and when I start out giving it goes.. but ya having the feeling like its going to cut off...

Alley, I haven't made any changes at all to it... I bought it used. just started riding it.. When it sits on the center stand. I start it.. I wants to stall.. give it some throttle it stalls.. let it run for a bit.. then when I start out it will go, but kind of sputters a bit.. might have to do a video so you can see what im talking about..

When I first start it, it seems to sputter and if I give it some gas it stalls... After it warms up a bit, then it runs good.. Still feel like its sputtering at times.. Can this be a clogged carb?? Or does it need to have the idle increased?? Any suggestions??

The reason the screws are that way (really didn't want it to go that way) but its to hold the switch in place.. its under the seat so really don't affect me.. I like this switch cause not only can I shut the battery down, but its a good theft deterrent. Take the key out and it won't start..

Sounds good to me.. I really like mine.. finally got a chance to actually see what it can do today.. Was a little afraid, but if I want to take it out on I-4 have to get used to it.. Still not used to this little wheel being in the back.. Might one day make it a trike..

Bashan.. I have a 2008.. In that year they have a regular radio in the trunk and only a volume button.. I have no clue why they put it in there with no way to change it.. At least put a way to change the stations..
If I change out the radio to my old car radio I can run an audio cable for my phone..
How do you add pictures??

Bashan, gotta say your illustrations are amazing and very helpful to us new fashion owners...
Question, Don't you crush the air filter when you put the seat on?? That air filter is right under the seat.. My big arse would crush that. But I love the fact that you get more top end speed.. Anything I can do to get more top end speed I need .. im going to start with new rollers and eventually changing out the air box..

Ok. this is what I was looking for .. Just not too sure how to install the cut off switch... I am going to try to hook this up since I now have a fashion and am charging the battery every night.. Its a pain. Im afraid to ride it and stop then the battery not starting.. So im going to try to somehow install the toggle switch to shut the battery off. but If someone can give me an idea how to hook the wiring out I would greatly appreciate it..

What is the purpose of having this radio in this scooter?? You can't change the channels its in the trunk.. Yeah you can raise and lower the volume, but what good is that?? Think im going to swap out the radio for an old car radio I had and put my audio cable for it to play my smartphone apps.. Other then that the radio is useless other then taking up space..
