Rew750,
I don't think the clock uses a "button" battery. I believe it is wired to the scooter battery. You probably have a loose wire? You would have to remove the dash in order to check that connection.

Good luck

you'll like it.
See you at the Bones.

Good for you Nathaniel !
You have been looking for a better ass placement for quite some time, so this should do the trick !

It was 37 yesterday morning, but a balmy 45 this morning. Funny what the OP experience is with the HD/BMW bikers. I actually have stopped seeing the scooters I usually cross paths with (3 of them), but I still see the Harley guys out there. Me, I am thinking I will need to take the Carhartt overalls...

I can see after market products being there one day and gone the next. But I would expect that all the parts that came originally with the scooter to be avaialble for years to come. I work as a supplier to the US Auto industry. Once a car is no longer sold, we still have to keep making parts for a m...

Try what you got, it can't hurt.
Also dishwashing detergent does the trick. I swore by Dawn, by but other people used other brands just as well.

I think if s/he gets pulled over . . . good luck talking yourself out of a ticket after the trooper sees him/her proudly displaying 12 cop "hits" ! Heck, the cop will probably find additional stuff to add, ha !

Pretty much what everyone has already said. Thermal underwear, Carhartt overalls, insulated gloves, insulated boots (construction worker type boots or Sorels are great). If your overalls are long that is actually good. You can get a velcro strap and close them at your ankles so no cold air travels u...

Doubt it would be covered by warranty. If your dealer covers it, they are doing you a favor. The warranty covers "manufacturing defects", not someone trying to steal it. You also have two years of warranty (if you bought it new and you are the first owner). There is no difference in covera...

jfrost,
not meaning to highjack your thread, but it is funny how we go from scooters to waffles in 5 posts flat!

Unless it was a substitute driver, usually the same driver is on the same bus the full school year. And the kids always ride on the same bus, that way the driver knows the kids and who gets off where. Just call the school, transportation department, and very politely/nicely tell them what happened a...

Man, sorry to hear that. I am guessing the thief thinks this is one of a million scooters just like it and he/she can make a quick buck. Little do they know there are only a few dozen of them and most of us would recognize those velcro pads on your tank anywhere. I'll keep my eyes and internet ears ...

On my 2006 model the actual amount of gas on a bone dry tank is 1.74 gallons, not 1.98 (7.5L) regardless of what the manual says.

Don't ask me how I know . . . you can probably guess !

That switch, in the USA version, turns the tail light on/off.
Far left = tail light is on
middle = I can't remember
far right = tail light is OFF

And he has a fan in front of where the left knee would be . . . hummm, not enough air coming to you while riding?

On the back, it appears he also have a R/C car ?

You could get some "irrigation syringes" on med supply stores. They are 60cc's. Just google irrigation syringes and you will get a ton of responses. They sell for under $1.

Then get a few inches of clear tubing at your local pet store. It will be by the aquarium supplies.

Hope to see some of you there !

In MN you need at least a 150cc to get on the highway. I really get confused between the terms highway and freeway, so just check what is the min. engine size you would need as the 125 might not be legal on those roads. Even if you were only in town traffic, you would want the added ummph of the 125...

I was just going to say that. Check the battery. Make sure the connections are good and tight. It could also be dead. If you can start it up with a fresh battery, then there might be something draining your battery. Your dealer can check the battery in a couple of minutes. Or if you are close to a B...

And in addition to what illnoise and other said, the small wheel will make you feel everything much more, such as the grated concrete. At first you will feel that the front wheel has gone bonkers, but after a while you get used to it. It is a small wheel and that is how it feels. Brick, specially th...

You can search for that on the archives as it has been discussed before. I know a few people were talking about this gadget you can buy that "supposedly" helps with that on the stop lights. I take it there is no gate you could go around but just a big door. You could also get a big enough ...

I am not an expert on the laws of physics, but if you crash at say 20mph and your body leaves whatever is that it was riding (bike, scooter, skateboard, fast cow, etc) and your body hits the pavement . . . well, I don't think the pavement cares what you were riding. Once you hit it, your only protec...
