Thanks for the suggestion Susan, I had thought about mounting the box further back to give direct access to the gas cap, but was hesitant since I sometimes...
Help!!! Okay, I'm stumped. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove the American tail-light assembly from the Vino. (Other than "pull with all your might...
Yes I agree no other motor vehicle is facing these restrictions and penalties but a race ready motorcycle is available to any idiot willing to finance 10 to 15...
I just bought a 2006 Vino 125 with 400 miles for $1900. I thought that was a fair deal after poking around online, trying to find one. My top speed is higher...
Brian, Check post # 14769. It's a PITA to remove the taillight assembly unless you're really worried about the wiring cosmetics. Since you're going to have...
For some reason the 2006 manual isn't available at Yamaha's website (see Parts & Service) but other model years are. The Vino 125 has remained essentially...
Chris, Oil recommendations have been extensively discussed and somewhat debated. Synthetics aren't forbidden by the manual but there's a questionable caution...
hi brian yep a real pain, ya might want to check out theses marker lights i found, I'm going to put them on my vino soon i hope; i was going to mount them on...
David, The engine crankcase breather connection is downstream of the air filter. While it's possible for gasoline and engine oil mist to get "blown back" to...
Yo Duane, Thanks for the info. I am looking for a windscreen as the final touch. I went to Amazon and couldn't find the specific model you spoke of. Would you...
Could anybody tell me what tool to use for removing the kickstarter so I can get to the v-belt filter? I looked through the files on the site, and through the...
A PCV valve allows air from the crankcase to flow into the engine intake, but restricts flow in the other direction. This reduces crankcase pressure and helps...
Hi, I put an iridium plg in my scoot and noticed a big difference. However, my question is..are you supposed to gap them or not? The manuals yes..NGK says...
Julie, Don't gap the plug - you run a high risk of breaking the electrode. The CR7EIX plugs come gapped from NGK and per my measurements are set correctly for...
... Thanks again for your help. I figured I would have noticed something different or not right on my scoot if it wasn't gapped correctly. But I got scared...
Chris, I'm a relatively new Vino owner who is a big guy. I changed over to synthetic oil and Iridium plug at about 400 miles as the engine first felt like it...
What is this "tire bead" that the how to speaks of? Is it supposed to be on the tire or is it on the rim? I got my ML8 today and need to change it out...
The bead is that portion of the tire that contacts the rim and provides the air tight seal. On an inflated tire that's been in use the bead can stick to the...
Red deposits on a spark plug are generally caused by additives in the fuel - possible if you're running premium gasoline or adding your own variety of additive...
If it's like car tires the bead isn't an adhesive, it's a ridge along the inside diameter that's usually made out of strands of steel encased in rubber. That...
Your right about no adhesive being used. But even with no pressure in the tire, once the bead is "seated" the stiction/adhesion between the bead rubber and...
This is Duane, My experience with mounting small tires. Be careful removing the old tire so you don't scratch the rim, it will look tacky (outside) and may...
