Modern Buddy

Thank you very much! I will have him try this tonight.

Had a friend rebuild my carb on 2007 buddy 125 and now the scooter doesn't have any acceleration power past 30mph. Looking for help to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks in advance [/b]

My Scooter has been running great all summer. I road it last Wednesday and parked it until Monday when I went to ride it to work. I found gas underneath my scooter. I traced it coming out of the air filter compartment. When I went to start the scooter it ran rough and took a bit to get to a good idl...

In need of a new front rotor! Anyone have one they're willing to sell?

I dont think its the switch, but I'm changing my brake fluid this weekend so was going to check the connector while the top plastic is off.

Installed this LED about 2 weeks ago and is a HUGE upgrade from the stock headlight. Sometimes the high beam will flicker and go out completely, but always comes back. Has anyone had this issue? Its only the high beam. Maybe my connector is a little loose? I did put a zip tie around the connector bu...

DeeDee is this the same shock. Wasn't successful with the ebay link.

Hello Everyone, My brothers Orange 2006 Buddy 125 was stolen off his lawn sometime Monday April 13th. He lives in Silver Springs Maryland and were asking everyone to keep an eye out for his Scooter! A police report has been filed and figured making a post on here wouldn't hurt. The right side of the...

Tenders what type of led bulb did you put in the dead lights? I'm getting the same adapter.

Does anyone use a different bulb that makes their headlight brighter and the road more visible?

Recently replaced front tire. Is there supposed to be a spacer on the axel bolt on the caliper side of the tire?

I have an older (2007) Buddy St. Tropez. I am terrible owner and once i had kids it has sat in my garage with about 1200 miles on it. It's been about 2 year since we've done anything with it. So my question is, is there any value left in it and is there potential someone could bring it back to life...

You can do it by yourself, but it is easier if you have a friend squeezing the lever. You have to remove the top part of the headset. Get a small clear hose to fit over the bleed nipple. Remove the reservoir cover, and drain out the old fluid w/ a turkey baster or syringe. Fill up close to the top....

Looking for some direction on Flushing/Bleeding Front Brakes on my 2007 Buddy 125. Front break is feeling a little soft. Is there already posts that people know of about doing so? Looking for some steps for clarification so I don't screw it up. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Every...

Thank you! I really appreciate it! It ran great before putting it away for the season and I did add stabilizer. Along with making sure I put fresh gas in it. About a month ago we got a warm spell so I charged the battery and road it around the block a few times. Ran great considering it hadn't been ...

Looking for some input on servicing my 2007 Buddy 125 Italia before putting it back on the road in a few weeks! Its going on 10-11 years old with 2,800 miles on it. I am the second owner and this will be my second season with it. Although it has very low mileage what services and replacements should...

I have a 07 Buddy 125 Italia and looking to wire up the Dead lights in the front to run full time with the head light. Everywhere I read suggests a different bulb so you don't drain the battery. What are some bulbs people prefer that won't affect the battery and will help light the road with the hea...

Do you guys think I'll have any issue with the center stand catching on mount system like the ones above? Simple fix, just thought I would ask.

If like me, you plan on transporting your Buddy a lot, I would highly recommend getting the hitch mounted Versahaul Motorcycle Carrier. It's more expensive than your run of the mill hitch mounted carrier/rack, but it is very high quality and comes with it's own ramp. I use it to haul everything bet...

Buddy weighs right in at 200 lbs. You don't need to spend $500 or more for a hitch carrier. Buy a handlerbar harness and some good cam straps. Save your money for something else: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steel-Motorcycle-Scooter-DirtBike-Carrier-Hauler-Anti-Tilt-Hitch-Mount-Rack-Ramp/111800414973?e...

Was hoping for some input from the community. Last year I transported my buddy 125 in the back of my truck when traveling and it was a pain as I had to rely on help because of the ramp system. Does anyone on here use a Reese Hitch Carrier system and if so what is your opinion on them? Looking into g...

Recently my Buddy 125 has been making a minor grinding/whistling noise which seems to be coming from below the air filter cover. Occasionally while accelerating but mostly only happens if I'm maintaining a speed above 30 or more. Any ideas what this could be? Having a mechanic buddy of mine look it ...

Quick question, Recently bought a 07 Buddy 125 with 2,200 miles on it. I want to change the engine oil and Gear Oil this weekend so I know I start out everything fresh with it and can track the maintence from there. What is the best Engine Oil and Gear oil that people find best work for them? Any in...
