Sorry for the bump. Sold this scoot last month for $1100. It was hard to part with. Got me a Yamaha Majesty 400. I love it! Thought I would contribute this information to the sight.

Service History:
Repairs:

Air Box Broken
6419 miles - Oct 8, 2016
Notes: Upper connectin flange broken, lower connecting flange bolt missing. Replaced lower bolt. Will repair broken flange ASAP.
Head Gasket
4650 miles - Apr 26, 2016
Notes: 11-1-14 during 30 mile round trip freeway ride in cool evening air, coolant reservoir spewed coolant and temp gauge redlined immediately. Limped last 5 miles home filling with ice water from convenience stores. Replaced coolant at home and this sequence repeated itself over and over. No amount of burping coolant would stop it from overheating. First few miles from cold engine seemed fine, but eventually coolant would expel from overflow tank. Since replacing head gasket and burping system it runs great and stays cool even in the dead of the AZ summer heat. Took me 15 months to actually accept that a five month old scoot could actually blow a head gasket. I tried literally everything the internet advisors put forth before changing it out. Purchased gasket on eBay for $8.
Muffler (Warranty)
4600 miles - Jan 30, 2016
Notes: Original sounded like a can of rocks when shaken. Stated rattling after a ride on a poorly maintained road and then a short distance on a dirt road with some washboard 2 months after purchase.
Thermostat
3369 miles - Nov 6, 2014
Notes: Original thermostat was not opening and causing overheating. Update: original thermostat was tested and working fine. Still over heating even with new thermostat. Ultimately it turned out to be the head gasket.
Replaced Broken Horn
2762 miles - Oct 11, 2014
Notes: Replaced Broken horn after water damage during summer rain storm.
Horn
382 miles - Jul 4, 2014
Notes: Fixed broken wires. Horn operational now. You

I'm having a strange starting issue with my scoot. Essentially it seems like it is progressively more difficult for the starter to turn the motor over in order to start. At first start of day it starts no problem. I do a lot of short traveling with stops for about a half hour or so and as I go to start it with each progressive stop, it seems as though the starter labors harder and harder and sometimes has to be pushed more than once to get it to turn over. I can usually coax it, but today for the first time it refused. I let the bike cool down for a while and eventually I got it started. It doesn't appear to be battery related.

Has anyone experienced this?

I'm wondering if it is valve related. If they need adjusted, can they prevent the motor from turning over if the engine temp is at operating temp vs cold?

I haven't found one on any site yet. Am I missing it?

I'm not. Must have me confused with another member. I'm a Honda guy, but I love my YY250T!

So the screw clamp on the hose connected to the water pump broke and coolant had been weeping out for who knows how long. Replaced it, filled it up, burped it, problem solved. Fan working fine.

You have a picture of this?
