General Discussion / Re: Running helmet tally.

LIDO-- so true!! smoking is banned here in cali, and even vaping is banned in some parts of LA =/
In Vegas helmets are NOT required. But with all the traffic and crazy tourists, wouldn't you want to wear a helmet??!

Thanks everyone for your input 
Please excuse my poor choice of scooter terminology...
I have already trialed-and-errored most of these suggestions -- used the Techron, fuel injector, adjusted the idle, opened the gas cap for ventilation, etc. It's ridiculous that I have to use these work-arounds. But yes, this problem happens most often after I fuel up or after I've taken it off the stand and am about ready to roll out. I do have a bad habit of revving the engine as soon as it starts up, so I'll try and practice my patience (starting tomorrow).
So is this just how it is.. and I have to learn to deal with it? Or is it a defect that I need to bring to the attention of the shop I bought it from?
Has anyone been able to mickey-mouse the emissions sensor?

I don't crave speed or have the itch to weave in & out of traffic, nor do I believe I'm invincible. My primary reason for getting my bike was to enjoy our nice weather (summer vacation means I don't have to drop off or pick up the kids from school), and save gas at the same time.
I have less than 600 miles of riding experience (2-3 months) and I admit I didn't do my research when I bought my bike. My first time out and my bike stalled in an intersection. I was stopped at a light, and when it turned green I turned the throttle and it died. The owners from the shop fixed it right away. Since then i've also learned to never overfill the gas tank. I wish I could somehow mickey-mouse that sensor thing to keep it from getting wet. But yet, even after being very careful my bike sometimes will not start up right away. And other times it will just die as soon as I turn the throttle, or even as I'm riding.
Is my bike a piece of junk?
