Hi, After reading the poll and posts, I'm going to replace the weak exhaust flange bolt. Is it the upper or lower one? I assume it's the upper one at the apex...
Norm, It is the upper one as you described below. Replacing both is a good strategy since the added cost is negligible. I strongly recommend the 10.9 grade...
I'm far from a bolt expert, but based upon the research provided below, I respectfully disagree with the conclusion that a higher grade bolt is an appropriate...
I agree. I am replacing my recently broken bolt with a new stock bolt and will be monitoring it, the two other bolts on the mounting plate and the nuts on the...
Hi all, I have been following this concern for sometime; given the situation with the muffler mounting assembly becoming loose, which I fortunately have not...
Steve, The article raises good points, but the application on our Vino is not that cut and dried. The bolt in question is not sealing the header pipe at the...
Hello all! I'm getting ready to store my scoot for the winter and a good friend has recommended that I get a BatteryTender to keep my battery happy over the...
I used the Battery Tender Jr. on my Vino 50 last winter and it worked wonderfully. I sold the Vino and plan to use it on my Burgman 400 this winter. Beth ... ...
Katie, If you're going to buy an original Battery Tender for the Vino 125 I'd recommend the Battery Tender Jr. in the 12 Volt model. It's charging current...
Is it necessary (or advisable) to put a trickle charger on a battery if the scooter is stored indoors? (my Vino125 is sitting in the basement; it's a finished...
when charging a battery the charge rate normally is 10% of the battery amp hour capsity.so if your battery is 6 amp hour the charge would be .600 amp or 600...
rcrodrix. The Vino 125 uses an AGM style maintenance free lead acid battery. Compared to older generation maintenance free batteries AGM types have very low...
New to the forum and to the idea of owning a scooter. Frankly I am feeling a little lost in trying to navigate the waters of considering buying a scooter. I...
I purchased my 2006 Vino 125 about 3months ago in the Los Angeles area. I got it for $2999 out the door and the guy already marked $100 from the msrp. All...
Katie, My experience with the Battery Tender is with a motorcycle, but I assume this will apply to the scooter, also. If the battery is hooked to the charger...
I have a battery tender jr and owned my Vino 125 for almost 2 years. I took Tony's recommendation and bought the "Junior" for 19.95 and have only needed to use...
Ryan, As you can see from several responses the price of a Vino 125 is negotiable depending on your locale and dealer whim ;) That can be said for some of the...
Like everyone else, I'm following this subject closely and monitoring my own scooter for the problem. So far, so good. I thought I'd stay ahead and replace...
Well, I have to say that I am really impressed with the Ron Ayers Motorsports folks. I think I must have ordered three quarters of my scooter on 11/30. I...
If I may add to what Tony has said: the Yamaha warranty is also absolutely top notch--as is the extended warranty. Here in Portland, Oregon, the Vespas run...
Is it hard to change out the panels? I have some that got scratched up in a fall that I'd like to replace (Red - so not from Ayers). Bonnie rcrodrix...
Bonnie, Removal of the panels is quite easy; I have removed the front fairing to replace the horn, and the rear side panels when I installed the japanese style...
Steven, As I look over your laundry list of parts it strikes me that overall the cost is quite reasonable. That's especially so when you consider how low the...
I know they dont have performance exhaust made specifically for the Vino125. I'm wondering if anyone custom welded a pipe to fit the Vino125. I'm currently...
Erik, I'll be very interested in the results you get. I know there's a little more performance lurking in the Vino 125, but wonder what has to be given up in...
