Now that the spring has come and the snows are starting to thaw (Snow? what's Snow? Welcome to Florida!), just a reminder to keep safe and keep your eyes...
May your Road Captain find peace and closure. Everyone please ride safe and stay visible on the road. It is almost a daily event to hear a motorcyclist...
Oh hell, please convey my condolences to your friend. Also, I hope they charge that little nimrod in the SUV with manslaughter. :( It's weird. I was coming...
It's been just shy of one year since I got my scooter and I'm going to take it in. I've noticed a slight "slipping" of the clutch when I accelerate and want to...
"There, but for the grace of God, go I" It could easily have been one of us. This spring, I got a new jacket, and it's bright green/yellow/celery colour and I...
No matter how many years of riding experience I accumulate it's always gut wrenching to hear about tragedies like you just described. I don't have any pearls...
I have the same symptom but I don't believe it's slippage. My Vino started to display this last Summer and I believe it's in the variator. Likely the weights...
It was all going so well... Today I was having a good time with the Vino. My hardware "science project" appeared to be having a positive outcome, and I...
After I had my vino in the shop for that first oil change, I noticed that it leaked oil everytime it sat overnight. I never had the time to mess with it, so I...
I recently(as in yesterday) just recieved and installed a new givi top box, the e450. I had originally ordered the e350, but they sent the 450 instead. A...
All, This is a gentle reminder to be aware of our storage space limitations in Yahoo Groups. As the riding season begins we'll naturally want to share our...
I just noticed an oil leak on my 125 last week. is this a common problem? it is coming from the bottom plug. Has anyone else experienced this? This has only...
Jeff, You weren't kidding, that IS one huge top box ;) Within the past few weeks we discussed the weight carrying ability of the Vino's rear rack. You...
An oil leak on that particular plug might be caused by several things. There's an "O" ring on the plug that might have been torn, or perhaps the plug wasn't...
Big storage, how do you remove it for gas refilling? Its nice but huge' good luck and have fun = enough for clothing and essentials. Have fun FV ... the ... ...
I see where Schwinn is launching a new line of scooters. They are starting with three stlyes, all 49 cc, and plan to move up to 80 cc and 125 cc later this...
I've had that happen before as well where the dealer didn't tighten down the final gear drain bolts enough and it leaked. Of course, it was something they...
nice box but where is the scooter? reminds me of mae west's comment about the titanic: "when does this place get to NY" just kidding. if i had that box, i...
... Schwinn Graduate = Yumbo!!! One of the better quality Vino knockoffs. We own one Yumbo scooter at the MSF school where I teach, and it has been OK so far....
I am interested in removing the restrictor plate on my Vino 125. I am at 5200 feet altitude and have a 12% grade up to my home and can only muster 25mph. I...
Restrictor plate? On a Vino 125? No such animal. I guess people just assume if it's a scooter it must have been restricted, maybe because it's so common on 50...
Restrictor plates are only on 49cc scooters, to keep them within legal limits. There is no such thing on any other type of scooter. SWB ... Steven W. Buehler...
Only way to derestrict a Vino 125 is to remove guts inside muffler and recalibrate carburator a la Harley Davidson. Then you have to put up with a loud...
The Vino 125 has its limits. More power means less fuel efficiency in my book. In the state of gasoline cost going through the "Superdome" roof, I am a...
Ok all you Vino riders, with summer approaching what do we ride with for protection? I know we all wear gloves and helmets but beyond that? I saw someone today...
... Hash: SHA1 ... Um, shorts and tee-shirt, eh? I'm not that suicidal. If it's not oppressively hot and humid, I will wear my leather jacket; otherwise a...
