It's usually attached to one of the brake levers. If it's leaking it could possibly run down some wires or something else and work it's way into your cluster. That makes sense. I watched a YouTube video on someone swapping out there scoot master cylinder, I think it would be an easy...enough fix lol. Hopefully it's just a leak and I can track it down and seal it. Thanks again! |

Well I went and checked it out and the master cylinder is on the opposite side. So I'm not really sure what it could be, there's no lines or anything around that side of the cluster that has fluid, it's all electrical...So I'm stumped. I'm kinda stumped on what this thing is as well. I just noticed it , and I have no idea what it is.  |

So when I walked outside to leave work I noticed that inside of my gauge cluster there is an oil build up of some sort. I parked my scoot in the sun...so I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it but, Does anyone know what could be causing it or what it is?  The gauge assembly are little motors of sort, the spring inside them are lubed with grease/oil, the hot sun just made it run. I wouldn't worry about it. Try not to park in the direct sun or throw a towel over it to shade it. Edit: the part in question above looks like your blinker relay. Put your signals on it'll click. |

If you're talking about the rubber coated cylinder,that is possibly the regulator/rectifier for your scoot? That's my only guess.
Edit:that makes sense. +1

I dont have any updates on the scoot other than im building it a new home. When I bought it, I really didn't think about storage. I have an 8x10 metal storage shed that I keep it in, but its not that accessible. I have to drive it around my house every time I ride. So im building a 10x12 wooden shed that faces my driveway. I will still have to drive through my yard but I will at least have a straight shot to get out. So I built the floor and For right now im just going to move the metal shed over to it until I can frame up the walls and do the roof. Later I will add either recycled asphalt or gravel so I dont have to drive through the yard.  |

Is that an old Studebaker in the background? I'm not really sure. My neighbor has an upholstery shop and works on all these sick old hot rods. I didn't even realize until I looked at the pic that he has a Jerry can strapped to the side of it lol |

Getting ready to add my usb port in the next couple days. I've ran many a usb in cars by just piggy backing off a 12v power accessory, but never on a scoot. I found a gent on another forum who ran his off the parking lamp. Here's the link to the how to. How-To: Add 2 USB ports to TaoTao ATM50-A1 | Scooter Doc Forum scooterdoc.proboards.com/thread/10817Is the system strong enough to just simply piggy back from that lamp? If it were a car I wouldn't think twice... but... would it be better if I tap into he ignition and ground to the frame?   |

Usb port done! I ended up splicing into the parking lamp..."I guess that's what is it lol" I'm hoping that this was ok. I just went positive to positive and negative to negative. However, I did test with a multimeter to make sure I had a twelve volts on the positive. Does anyone know if I will have any shorts or burn outs in the electrical system by splicing into the wiring that way? On a side note...i spliced into the bulb socket side of the harness...i figured if something were to blow out it's best that it does it on just the socket side as opposed to the entire harness. On another side note, the usb port that I ordered off ebay says that both ports are 2.1a and I find that to not be true. The top port would not charge my phone. So I am thinking either 1. I got a faulty usb port or 2. The top port is really 1.0a and it just says 2.1a    |

I usually run a fused lead directly to the battery for power (full time on) or use something that comes on with the ignition as a trigger for a relay. The other guy says he's had no trouble though, so hopefully the same will be true for you.

Thats initially what I wanted to do but the usb port I ordered is lighted and would be on all the time...and after I thought about it i was like dang it!! I am a little worried about grounding it straight to the negative wire instead of the frame though . I may just go ahead and ground it to the frame for piece of mind. |

what can I do to get more torque? How about experimenting with replacing the 669 drive belt with a slightly longer 681 . . resource. The objective would be to determine if the belt rides toward the outer perimeter of the clutch pulley for a longer duration up hills and into headwinds.
CVT disassembly would also provide an opportunity to weigh the variator rollers.

Well super fail!!!! I was swapping out the valve stems and balancing my front tire when I freaking dropped a nut inside of my tire! I have no idea how to get this thing out! Then just to add insult to injury I dropped a rubber washer inside of there too. Ugh!!!!!  |
