I got a flat on my scoot, took it off to a local tire store. $12 to mount tire, including new valve stem & balanced. This was on the used scoot I had.

The one that bothered me the most was the guy with his kid behind him in shorts and t-shirt. As adults, we're supposed to be the smart ones.

any idea what size hoses are on these scoots for fuel & vac? I don't want to have to tear covers off just to get the sizes if I don't have to but I would like to upgrade the lines.

And any ideas on whether the blue wire or green wire on the side markers on the front is the hot wire so I can add my LED lights?

I got small LED light bars to add to the front of my scoot. I was going to wire them into my amber side lights but not positive which wire to hook them too. I have a blue & a green wire going to those lights. I know green is usually ground but this is more of a pale green & I'm not sure if these bikes follow wiring colors. The lights I'm installing have a solid black, blue, black w/white stripe. The solid black is for the ground and I have to wire the blue & black w/ white stripe to my hot wire. I plan to install them facing towards the ground and they say blue but it is more of the blue-white like in halogen lights. The current plan is to use the included brackets and mount them on the outside edge of the lower front fairing. If that's not a good idea, I can take them back and look for something different. These are the lights I got: www.causa.com/store/catalog.asp?item=4345

Also, the headlight bulb reads "S2 12v 35/35w E4 2PA". When searching for this bulb, I found a seller on Amazon that lists it as a BA20D style bulb. Is this correct and if so, is that what I need to search to look for a better/brighter bulb.

Found these @ Wally World for $7.87. www.blazer-international.com/productdetail.php?itemno=CW1531R&cat=1 Was thinking of adding 2 of them to the back and wiring them into my stop/turn lights to act as additional lighting there and placing them a little lower down, maybe where a plate would go.

Got the throttle issue solved, he fixed it so no idea what it was.

Rear brakes are a major issue though. It's disc brakes. When we went to move it, the brakes were no longer locked so we moved it easily. I was helping him guide it while he pushed and the rear brakes went completely out. I've checked the fluid level and its fine. Can't see anything wrong with the disc brake assembly either. As far as the hose that is visible without removing body panels, I can't see any fluid leaking.

Any ideas what could be wrong with the brakes now? And where can I order pads for it? 10" wheel. When he squeezes the lever, it has just enough resistance to say it does.

Also found out he thinks he should only use the rear brakes, when I tried to tell him he needed to use both sets together, he told me to stop criticizing his driving. No idea which of his friends told him to just use the rear brakes, but using both front & rear together makes more sense. Am I wrong or was he given wrong info?

The reason they go so high here is once someone buys once, they almost never sell it until it needs a complete rebuild due the the inevitable failure of materials from age. Lots of people do mods and customization of their motorhomes/trailers when they get they. I mean, there's a guy living near me that has a motorhome from the mid 80's and he uses it every year.

This is the south where people make a religion out of hunting (lol) and camping. More people camp using trailers than tents down here cause they can start earlier in the year, go later in the year, and continue to go even when they can't get up off the sleeping bag in a tent.
