Start with the scoot on the side stand and slowly center it as you go. Steady your weight on your left leg, and place your right foot on the center stand. As...
Here's how I do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ2o3iv3ANE Chris Baum ... From: "Robert Hacker" <rhacker1@...> To: <Vino125@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Ok, Here's the secret. Make sure that the scoot is vertical and not leaning toward you, so the 2 extensions on the bottom of the center stand are on the...
I'm 5' 2" and I just use both the handle bars to pull it back on the center stand. At first it took me 3-4 tries before I could do it but now I can almost...
Actually you shouldn't be trying to pull it back on the stand. Use your hands, left on handlegrip and right on rear bar to stabilize the bike only. Getting it...
I am 5'2" and 120 lbs and have no trouble putting the Vino on the center stand. Just put your left hand on the left handlebar and your right on the rear...
Hi everyone, So I need to replace my spark plug cap (long story) and was wondering where I might find one (either locally or online). I tried AutoZone/Advance,...
Should be less than $10 at any dealer. You can find it online for $5-$6 but then add shipping and probably more than your local dealer. Yamaha P/N is...
The dreaded kickstart. I got my Vino late this summer and I love it. My previous scooter was a Vespa, an older model when you still changed gears and had no...
My Vino kicks over so easy. Like slicing hot butter. Now if your bike is hard to start with elec start button then you have to expect the same hard starting by...
Thank you very much. I will give it another shot. There may be something to the note that if the scoot is cold give it no gas at all. With my Vespa, I would...
Squeeze the left handbrake while you're pumping. It has been said (and the wiring diagram suggests) that the scoot will start using the kickstarter without...
I would also add that if the scoot has been sitting for a while, it seems to help to kick start or electric start briefly (with the throttle closed) and then...
Thank you all for your help. You all make great sense and, sure enough, when I took my time and followed your instructions the kickstart worked perfectly first...
What Chris said operates with the electric starter too. There is a heating circuit in the carb which starts when the ignition is set to on. It takes about 30...
There is no heating circuit in the carb. The electrical wires you probably see are for the auto choke (electrically activated). Any heater + gasoline would =...
It actually, really, really does have a carb heater; and it works well on cool/cold days if you wait about 30 seconds with the ignition on. I have returned...
That's great to know. There will be days here in Ontario when it's too snowy or just too cold to head out but I plan to start the Vino in the garage and let it...
I stand corrected as I now see the heater mentioned in all Yamaha lists of Vino features. Looking at parts fiche of carb and Yamaha service manual I couldn't...
If you're replacing the spark plug, you should upgrade to an NGK CR7EIX. As discussed in numerous postings in this group, the Iridium plug will give you...
Hi Blake, It's a good one. Don't forget the Stabil and the Battery Tender. Intermittent cold idling tends to foul the plug, so check and clean it if necessary...
Just wondering if there is a document on winterizing the scoot. I know there are several degrees to winterizing. But is there a document describing the best...
I live in Toronto, Canada and this will be my second winter with the scoot. I ride in the winter but only when the roads are dry. Last year, there was a period...
Here's my 2c.... Fill tank and put 1/2 ounce of Stabil in it. Put the scoot up on the center stand. Run it for a few minutes to get gas with Stabil in the carb...
Norm Thank you very much for your voice of experience. At this point I am not exactly sure which path I will travel: draining the carb or following the regimen...
