Winter Driving
« on: December 15, 2013, 02:03:02 AM »
I'll scoot in almost any temperature but the problem is the bike isn't happy below 40 degrees. I don't know if it's an issue with the carburetor not being able to adjust, but when the temp is below 40 degrees the 125 can stall any time the bike idles. The last time it did this it created an unsafe situation even though the bike was warmed up.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks. It's a new bike (500km) and there's no way I could or would do that.

my downtown 300i starts and runs very good down to 15 below C. parked in a unheated garage, wanted to ride at 26 below but to much snow,  maybe I will do it soon, lots of winter left, I only ride when the road is dry,. and ice free,.

I don't think this is a "problem" with the scooter, but actually quite common.
I had to kick start my 125 when it got below 50 degrees
It probably just needs slightly more gas, so either adjust the a/f mix and maybe the idle as well.
You could always buy the 38 sj from scrappydogscooters as well
