Today (24.may.2017 morning) at work I started my scoot, and I saw blue smoke from exhaust. At evening I will do a video about that smoke and when I have time I will post that video. Meanwhile I could cause the smoke? After the engine was wormed up the smoke was gone.
The other problem is battery - the electric start does not work and lights are blinking, when the turn signal is on. I think something is training the battery or there is some other problem.
Today (25.may.2017 morning) I started my scoot again and blue smoke came from exhaust. I was thinking, maybe the temps where not so warm at night. Could that cause the blue smoke from exhaust on cold start?

Today (27th may 2017), I did another test start to see the blue smoke. I did see little bit of that. I placed my hand near the exhast tip. Then I gave little bit of gas to rev up the engine, scoot spat engine oil through exhaust to my hand. So I think, the oil in the exhaust is the cause of the blue smoke, that I saw at 24th of may 2017.

Yes, blueish smoke is usually oil burning. Then only smoke I even noticed in the vid was from your cigarette or the burnout. Are you certain the stuff shooting out of the muffler is oil? If it's spitting oil it should be chugging out ridiculous amounts of smoke.

Yeaterday I took time and painted my scoot´s plastic parts. I removed the front parking light and filled that hole, with glass fiber. Some of the work I have to re-do, because there was wind, when I painted the bonnet / hud. Wind pushed the box over, where the bonnet / hud was sitting. Some other panels need too painting.
Here is the Before and after:

Some time ago my scoots battery got flat very fast, so I brought brand new battery + installed Voltmeter, to monitor the battery charging on rides. Well, there is a problem, with charging system:

I'd put a multimeter on there and check voltage before trusting the gauge.

I'd put a multimeter on there and check voltage before trusting the gauge. I think, the huge voltage drop while switching the front lights on is caused by poor wire terminals of the front light. The voltmeter is brand new and I wired it up straight from the battery. I think the stator with the ignition coil could be bad too. |

I do not know the real top speed of this last run, because my gps speedo was not turned on.
