Hi Barry. If you trace your brake wire back starting from the brake lights, they should tie together into one wire. You make the cut on the single wire and insert the brake modulator there. The ground of the modulator can go anywhere on the frame of the scoot or to one of the brake light grounds.

Welcome to the forum, wayneb. It seems you are taking good care of your scoot.
Your scoot seems to be working fine at highway speeds when there is a lot of air flow through the radiator. So, good air flow equals normal cooling for your scoot. Around town driving is another situation because not much air is moving through the radiator. The fan does most of the work in this situation. If the fan is running when you say the scoot is overheating, then the sensor is doing its job. Sounds like the fan is not moving enough air. I would guess that it's getting a bit tired after four years. The bearings may be starting to dry out causing a drag on the fan speed. This may be aggravated when the fan has been operating a while and is getting hot. Some of us old timers even lube the cooling fan bearings as part of the PDI.
Since the fan is probably running longer trying to do its job, it is draining the battery more. This could explain why your charger is sensing a lower charge on the battery.

Hi Ernie. This thread sure is stretched out but it seems to be still active. I'm wondering if you were able to improve on the hard ride problem from the rear of your scoot? I do not feel any bumps from the rear wheel on my YY250T (vertical engine). The rear shocks are at their softest setting and I run 32 to 36 pounds air pressure with original tires. The front wheel gives a normal ride. I usually run 8 pounds lower air pressure than in the rear tire. The ride from the rear is really amazingly good. Maybe it could be the 235 pound ballast?  |

Welcome to the forum.  It sounds like you and the gf are going to have a lot of fun with your "new" scoot. This forum is a valuable resource for all things related to scoots. Enjoy. |

Replacing the brake fluid is a good idea, ellpee. However, in the many years I have been dealing with brakes, I have never seen colored brake fluid.

Welcome to the forum, jzander. Here is a picture of the diode, R/R, and CDI on my YY250T:  Your voltage readings are not healthy. You should be over 13.0 volts at idle and should be able to do better than 14.0 volts at 5000 rpm depending on the electrical load. Once you replace the hoses, you will have a better idea on how well the carb is adjusted. Good luck on the new scoot! |

All the readings for the black wire and the green wire were OK. The reason he was getting such weird results is that he is using the tester incorrectly. In order to use the tester, it should be clipped to a ground point or the negative terminal of the battery. The pointy end will light up the light whenever you probe a 12 volt source.
The readings he did get that were suspicious was the kill wire (B/W) having some voltage on all the time.

This video brought back many memories for me as my wife and I visited Saigon aboard the Renaissance R Two in early 2001. We took a tour of the city on a pedaled rickshaw which really made the traffic interesting as this seemed to be a very precarious way to go. The traffic then was even more chaotic and intense.
This was a once in a lifetime experience as part of a 52 day cruise from Bangkok to Turkey. Renaissance was in business from 1998 to 2001 with a total of 8 ships and provided my wife and I the best cruise experience we ever had.
Thanks for the link, bobf.

Should make no difference as long as both terminals are isolated from the case of the sensor. A quick ohmmeter check would verify that.

The moral of the story here is to check the oil when the engine is cool. There isn't much leeway between the full mark and the point where overflow occurs. When the oil got good and hot, it expanded which resulted in the spill when you checked it hot. Check it when it's cool and you will probably have to add a little to get it back to full.
