Wow, you've sure figured out how to post pix!
As a matter of curiosity, do you pipe tunes into your helmet, or just listen through the speakers? I have just a humble little MP3 player feeding the anemic OEM speakers, but even so the music isn't all that bad when I'm parked (forgetting for the moment about the drain on the battery). But on the road, I can hear very little unless I crank it way up, and If I were driving in the next lane or standing beside the road I'd find that obnoxious. Haven't even turned the thing on this year, no real benefit I could see. If I could pipe it into my helmet without paying outrageous bucks I might be interested, but otherwise the whole "rolling sound" thing doesn't interest me much. That's just me.

PS -- what's all that stuff on your right side dash? Little rocker switch and that other thing that looks like the throttle handle on a Boeing 747?

ellpee, The switch is for the fog lights and the big peace is for the barking brake. Also I play my music through the two 5 1/4inch speakers and it sounds great even with my helmet on. What kind of scoot do you have? because some of the Chinese scooter that have sound systems are crap, Because a friend and a 250cc roketa and he had me change the hole system with two new speakers and a real stereo

Well, I have a 2011 Roketa, and no question the OEM "sound system" is a low end piece of junk. On the other hand, I'm not a big audiophile; my hearing is half shot anyway. I have mixed feelings on the whole subject. I have a personal aversion to blasting sound as I roll along, to the ???enjoyment??? of everyone in other vehicles or on the sidewalk or in their front yards. I might, however, like some soothing sounds coming out of my helmet on longer road tours. Thing there is, helmet systems I've seen cost megabucks, and then I wonder about safety (hearing sirens, car horns, etc.). So unless something great and helmet-linked comes on the market for under $100, I'll probably just do a capella karaoke as I roll along. The fun, after all, is in the bugs in your teeth, not the sound system.

Alleyoop, The Charging System Has No Problems, All The Lights On The Scooter Are LED Except The Headlights And The Fog Lights. Dash, Undercarriage And All Turn/Brake Lights Are LED.
