Slower Speed.
Sooo - im not sure if this is a mental issue (which i have plenty of) or if there is actually something different with me blur.
I just did my first oil change, but did not change the filter yet. And it seems that the performance is lacking.
It seems to be that the engine is "slipping". when i accelerate, my speed will increase and then level out and then speed up and then level out and the speed up.. etc.. Almost like a "stop-and-go" action. When im just holding the throttle in the same position.
I checked the oil and it did seem high - could too much oil be causing this?
Any ideas?

Had same problem
Hey bud had the same problem after doing my last oil change while not changing the filter. Thought I measured the oil really well but after riding it felt like it would bog out on me. I checked the oil and it seemed high so I did drain it and found that the filter or something must have retained more than I had thought . I refilled checked let run and topped off and all seems to be running very well now. Hope you scoot gets back to normal!

... speaking of which - today makes 4 weeks my scooter has been sitting in the shop. Still waiting on parts from Genuine - seems to me if they can't send the parts right away they could just send a whole engine ...

New Blur
I had a bad power shaft bearing, just needed a replacement - plus assorted seals etc. I don't know why, but Genuine couldn't manage to put the parts in a box and send them to the dealer ... so the dealer and I are saying why not send a new engine? ... well, going into the 5th week ... Genuine is now going to send a brand new '06 Blur - should be in the shop on Tuesday. Wow.BlueMark wrote: ... speaking of which - today makes 4 weeks my scooter has been sitting in the shop.

Sure is great to have a dealer who is also your advocate. And thanks to Genuine for stepping up.

Genuine Scooter Company is sending a new scooter to the dealer to replace my scooter under warranty, that way I'm back on the road (after 5 weeks) while they sort out the parts problems and the figure out the engine failure on their own schedule.Erlkonig wrote:you mean that the dealer will give u a new scooter?
