Hi Guys,
New to all this, so forgive my dumbness
I have just recently got this scooter, has 65 miles on the clock (Is brand new) The issue I have is Yesterday morning the speedo was on the blink, then last night the bike just cut out after about 10 minutes on the road, was unable to start it again. I put it down to being drenched in the rain and being new. I left it to dry out, started no problems. This morning, the bike started again no problems, but after about 5 minutes riding it to work, the same thing happened. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Any advice before calling for help would be much appreciated.
Thanks |

At a guess the automatic choke is chuffed. But thats a vague guess....worth a try at less than a £10, or you could take the choke off, 2 screws and bang it in the freezer, once its cold go at it with a hair dryer, you should see the little needle move.
(if you dont know where the choke is, its on the carb, a black bit of plastic the size of your thumb, with two wires coming out of it.)
If its not that, then the trouble begins.
I presume the scooter has an automatic choke, most do, but some dont...worth a try. ____________________ Kawasaki AR125 B8 - Getting ready for a summer time soon! |

Spray all the electrics and around the carb with WD40/GT85 and leave it to dry off for a bit.
Tbh I wouldn't ride in the rain unless I really had to.
If that doesn't work it's probably down to the fact that it's chinease |

I've found riding in all weathers has really kicked me up the ass in the terms of technique and confidence. Riding in the good weather is so much more relaxing for me now simply because I've managed to ride in much worse
So just to clean up a bit
Try whats suggested and let us know how you get on, if WD40 does work, try smearing a small amount of vasaline on all the contacts that seem exposed to the elements, this should stop water getting where it shouldnt

Buying chinese will mean that you HAVE to take the extra time yourself to ensure that it stays reliable. For instance (the reason you've had trouble in the rain) the electrics ALL need to be protected with some kind of sealant (I recommend Holts Damp Start). Obviously this is only useful when the bike is dry and working, otherwise you'll just be sealing moisture in. Scooters, especially 2 stroke, seem to hate rain or moisture or a wet fart. So you might never be able to ensure reliability in the wet. (for instance, my old 2t ped had the stator mounted between the cooling fan and the cylinder (all near road level) which meant that it would suck water in and splash it all over the stator.)
Replace the plug cap for a properly insulated one, replace the plug for an NGK and replace the HT lead. ____________________ 57 Huoniao HN125-8 - , 97 Kawasaki GPZ500S -

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 13 years, 75 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
