Due to problems I have had lately, I have been inspecting my scooter. I took the intake manifold off, and underneath the manifold is a spacer that you can pull...
The alternator is designed for lower power output. Typically; scooters are not used very much at night. When the lights are own you have very little if any...
I have a 2006 Tank Touring 150 and have been reflecting on my 2 years and 6000 Tank miles of ownership. Much is written here about the problems people have but...
Thanks Scott,  I figured you would know. As I said, I don't advocate driving without the lights on but I was curious.  Wayne ... From: Scott Erwin...
You aren't the only one out there with good service from their Tank. Only minor maintenance issues with mine that I would expect with any machine. Very...
Just a rebuttal to your statement. What if I removed the headlight bulbs or if the 2 bulbs burnt out? Then will the circuit blow then? We'll test that theory...
I'm not sure what you are saying. My intake manifold still has the o- ring at the bottom, but the spacer has an o-ring also(which is sticking out in that pic...
I'm using the NGK C6HSA, I used sea foam a few times, and 92 octane most of the time. I averaged about 40mph, maybe 45 on a good day--- hell I even got it up ...
It's been like this for a couple of months. Would water still be in there after that many refills of gas? If it could be, then I will try what you said--- I...

Are you getting your gas at the same place all the time? If yes, it could be the gas. Can you shine a flashlight into the tank and see the bottom? If you...
You didn't say this was a 50cc, so try www.partsforscooters.com and they should have the spacer for it. Stan ... o- ... my ... sure ... O- ... could ... front,...
My new Urban Sporty 150 is very difficult to start. On a fresh charge, it ususally turns over fine, sputters a bit, then dies. If I can get it to sputter...
It sounds to me like the carburetor float bowl is draining down overnight and takes a while for enough gas to get to the carb. There is a screw at the very ...
I am thinking about painting my scooter There are some interesting metallic paint colors for smooth shiny trim pieces, and Rustoleum hammered finishes are very...
Hey James.... If you can post some before and after pics when you figure out how to do all this, it would be great. Thanks... ... metallic ... finishes ... ...
I went for a ride on my 150 DE and took my GPS. The GPS indicates a speed approximately 10% less than the speedometer. If the speedometer is off 10% high, then...
Some paints will cause the plastic to disolve. Test the paint on a hidden area first. I know that there is a primer for plastic although I have never used...
J B,  A lot of people have done that. The results vary. My 2006 150 touring de is only about 3% high which is better than average. Don't bet on the...
That's nonsense. My scooter does have a light switch. It turns off the headlight and taillight. It's supposed to be bypassed in this country but somehow that...
I did not know that - another quick ride with the GPS confirms you are indeed correct. I guess I should have figured that given the country of origin, huh?...
Weird as it seems, the speedometer accuracy and the odometer accuracy can have great differences in accuracy. The odometer is a straight gear drive reduction...
Dig out the wiring diagram and start tracing wires. I believe you will find the "off" switch position is not off, but feeds a resistor that has the same...
I don't have a solution, but I want to hang around to see if someone does. That is very similar to what is going on with me. Unless I wait like 12 hours later...
