so i have an interesting problem with my 110. the other day i notice oil on the bottom of the engine...like it's been leaking while i drive. and i've noticed it "backfires" after i shut it off....only once though. i'll hit the kill switch and then *cough*. it runs fine though, off idle and WOT is fine. when i first got it, i messed with the idle screw cause it was dying at stop lights but the problem went away, is it possible it's running to rich still? thanks for the help guys.

I noticed the same on mine, but I believe mine was due to a missing exhaust bolt while the remaining one loosened up just a bit. I never had the backfiring though

i get the same little cough when shutting down, but it runs great. im not real sure what that is. my engine is clean also. 2 strokes are known to be oily engines, thats just how they are. i wouldnt worry too much about a little bit of oil if its running fine

Ran by the dealer and fixed me up in 15 minutes for free, completely dry now.

I just noticed that my exhaust port bolts were also loose.
I'm currently in the process of removing the wheels to change over to HF 903 tires, so I had to remove the exhaust and rear fender. I'll probably use a bit of lock-tite blue when I replace everything. I first need to find out if lock-tite withstands high temperatures.
I should have the scoot back together with the HF 903s and my new green Roughhouse panels (to be delivered any time now) before the weekend

Before you use the high temp lock tight you might want to consider nord-lock washers. They resist vibration and have keep my exhaust bolts tight going on 1 year now.

I used lock washers and hi-temp locktite when I put mine back on. I don't think the blue locktite is meant for high temps.

blue loctite is good to 300°F
red just says high tempurature.

if i was going to use loctite i would use the red. if you ever want to remove it run the scooter for a while and heat it up good, then try to remove the nut

personally i like lock washers better for somethign like that or even metal locking nuts

the stuff I used was hi-temp loc-tite but it was white.
