Tire pressure recommendations vary from model to model. Look for a data plate on the back of the legshield or underneath the seat - there should be one, and it...
The maximum tire pressure on the sidewall is maximum SERVICE pressure. It is used for the maximum load the tire is designed for. The tire pressures recommended...

I had the same problem and I found out that there were two screw missing which hold up the gasket and that's why it was rattling. They're like a half an inch...

Considering how fast these motors spin, even at idle, I don't think the variator rollers are bouncing around but are held firmly against the ramps. Does the...

My 2005 Tank Racer DE 150 does the same thing. If I really roll on the throttle from a stop, it rattles badly. If I just ease off the line, no rattle. Which...
I agree, they spin pretty fast, and the weights push up against a diaphragm that moved the pulley. Nevertheless, I can't imagine what else it is. It happens at...

Mine is about 10-12 mph off. Therefore, when it says 65, I'm actually going about 53....and that's fast enough for me. Any faster than that, it feels like...
Hey, I realize that we are all usually courteous and law-abiding when we are out on the road with our scooters, but I have recently seen some behavior that I...
What the problem is with the reckless scooter riders is that most of them are first time riders. I live fairly close to Las Vegas, NV. In Nevada it is legal...
That "rattle" you're hearing is most likely belt slap. When you roll on the throttle hard, the vibration and rotation causes the drive belt to bounce and slap...

Never thougfht about the belt. Thanks for the heads up. I'll pull the case tonight and check on that. I have only had it for a year and as far as I know it is...
7000 km is about 4400 miles. It is time to check the belt anyhow before it breaks and leaves you stranded. Your belt is probably well beyond its wear limit by...
The 'rattling' I get does not seem to be the belt. I have taken the belt off several times and checked for shredding, wear, and cracking it looks very good...
Jim,  Have you checked your muffler? There have been quite a few reports of rattles coming from cracked mounting lugs AND from loose baffles on the inside....

Try a shot of starter fluid when you are trying to start it. If it runs for a few seconds then it is the carb. ... From: Harve Thorn <maya2blue@...> ...
