Nope never see them much unless it's donuts time FrankenMech😊. Well today Owen and myself went to see my mum. I suggested going on the scooter's. Five miles out of town mine decided not to play fair at Llannwnen. No problem, checked my insurance make sure legal to ride Owens scooter as he a learner and can't take anyone on the back.
Some of the hills were a bit slow reckon walking would have been quicker in places.
On way back stopped to pick my up and nurse it home slowly by blipping throttle on and off. Filled up with petrol and had coffee at garage came out and scooter had wet itself.
Managed the on,off,on,off technique of the throttle. Luckily there was only one short hill before home. Feels like electrical to me but can't remember if I popped a cheap nasty plug in it temporarily till the new one arrived and forgot to fit it or was that one of the other bikes will find out in morning.
Edit. Now wonder 125 was slow, between us we are 448lbs approx
Dumb and dumber comes to mind 😊

What was the wet spot? Petrol or oil?

You and Brent are front runners in the, my scooter is trying to destroy itself table. Brent seems to have past his former belt destroying crown on to you. then moved on to crazy carb jetting. But even then you were chasing his crown with carb troubles 😬 Seriously though you seem to be unlucky with belts. Any ideas why this bike is breaking them? |

maybe its possible that the red spring it NEED to be tuned properly (i mean it stays the same every day, at every launch and doesnt make the belt slip like crazy at launch ) might be way too stiff, but apparently that make no sense at all. not for this issue.
the only difference from my mechanical horror tho is how the belt die. on my older scoot they were literally snapping. mostly because they were cheap junk but also overheating. in like 49572928 parts. not anymore. and there is no overheat at all.
i'm so done with that....

Looking like the Aprilia Habana needs a fuel pump. Watching the return pipe in filler neck. No fuel flow. Put finger over for a short while slight pressure increase then petrol flows and engine runs smoothly. Turn off for short while no start just the odd pop and bang from the exhaust and no flow from return pipe. Hopefully pump easy to remove.   |

Today's joy on the Aprilia Habana, fuel pump removal. I think aeroxbud being as you know these scooters you should come and take it away and repair it for me. 🤔  |
