right i know this is a stupid question like but i dont wanna be fukin another scooter up.

i am just wondering if its ok to clean the outside of the engine barrel because its full of crap n that, an what should i use? just water? engine type cleaner? soapy water??

also, i came off my scooter on grass but fell on the other side to the exhaust, an since then it sounds ded like '4 strokie' deep sound, anyone have a clue what that could be??

thanx

Hi,
Just clean the engine with some soapy water and rinse after, As for the noise are you sure there is no mud in the silencer?

Sounds like a slight crack in the exhaust.

well no mud could have got in because i landed on the opposite side to the exhaust, an as for cracks, iv ran my hand under all the exhaust when running an no air seems to be blowing so sill dont know what it could be??

also, every now an agen it keeps cutting out, when walm like, it seems to be after i have gone on a ride for 10 - 15 mins then cuts out wen i stop if i dont give it revs, then wont start unless i keep the revs on, help!!

thanx
