Although I don't commute (work from home) I am just like kevin... bigger guy with a cupcake (the back seat passanger on a scooter/motorcycle) and the S8 is fantastic. You'll love it.

Super 8 150 / Re: Weird Incident with Scooter
« on: July 06, 2011, 06:27:05 PM »
Hey,
I went a bought a battery charger and let it chare completely. I had to do this because the scooter sat for so long that the battery was almost useless.
I'm good now, it starts easily with the button as opposed to the kick.
I haven't had the problem again but then we've been about 5-8 degrees cooler the past week. Still 98-99 but better.
I don't really warm it up. At least not sitting still. I roll out of the apartment complex I live in at a relaxed pace. I don't even get to half throttle untill I exit my gates, wich is about half mile away from my apartment. Thats all I do. Once I hit the road I'm full bore baby!

scoots fine, just some cracked and scraped plastics.
I changed my login because I was away from the forum for so long I couldn't remember my login and couldn't get it to send me an email to login that way.

Super 9 / possible great purchase on ebay!
« on: July 04, 2011, 03:52:36 PM »
I am in no way associated with the seller or any potential buyers...
I was trolling ebay trying to get ideas in case I have to resort to ebay for my sale when I came across this...

I don't think the owner knows what they have. Looks like a s9 2t but I can't tell if its ac or lc...

Yeah, nothing mechanically wrong with the bike. Motor/trans is fine, breaks as good as they can be and all lights are still working.

I'm starting to experience a similar problem.
I was riding along the texas hill country yesterday and stopped at a starbucks for something iced (it hit 100 degrees while I was out).
after a 15 minute stop, during which my scooter was parked in the sun, I started her up and took off.
She bogged immediatly. eased off the throttle and got under way but stoped a couple seconds later. Had to wait to make a left turn...
as I got under way, on the road this time, the bike was bogging and stuttering. the whole incident lasted 20 seconds.
No problems the rest of the ride.
I think my scooter is experiencing heat soak. Since they're air coold and they don't have fans the whole engine heats up when at rest.
A couple seconds with cooler air flowing over the important bits clears the problem.
Thoughts?

sorry its taking so long to reply... I was glopezz in another forum life (HA!)
I crashed the scoot shortly after that post and didn't have the parts installed. In fact I have only recently started riding it again and the parts are still sitting...
I'll let you know if I ever get it on there.

my photo above reminds me... are motorcycle helmets like bicycle helmets?
Are they only good for one solid hit?
Bicycle helmets are made to crush under impact. A solid hit and even if it looks ok, its not ok and time to buy a new one.
Moto helmets made the same way?
