G'day Wordslinger, you mentioned the price of fuel, for the fuel I use, the top level at the garage 98 RON we are paying $1.38 per litre, what are you paying in America?

...around $3.00 a gallon...for premium 93 octane...

..1.38 per litre??   ...that'd be over 5 bucks a gallon for you...

I got my scoot back and its better than ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They changed out my variator boss to an unrestricted one, now i have the one i bought on the internet and dont have anywhere to put it.   And they also said they had to adjust the carb.  My top speed on flat and slight incline appears to be 40-43mph.  However, it does take some time to get up to 30, but that's okay, i'm about to swap out my rollers and put in a kymco race CDI  ;D

Lol, yep, just bought a bottle of goo gone for that very purpose. 

Have you tried carrying someone on the back?  If so, does it affect acceleration and top speed much?
