Cruiser says Alleyoop is incorrect. Are there any other 2 gauges I can put together to get the right size? Didn't say that Alley was wrong. You didn't say if your set was metric or in inches. I assumed inches and Alley assumed mm. Most people like to use inches because it's easy to relate to. Otherwise, you have to convert mm to inches and vice versa. |

Welcome to the forum.  If you did use the .4 mm and .3 mm gauges, then you are lucky to have your scoot running at all. .4 mm =.016 inches and .3 mm = .012 inches. The intake should set to .003 inches and the exhaust should be set to .004 inches. |

Welcome to the forum, Rich. The YY250T is an excellent scooter to learn on and doing the full PDI is a great way to learn your scoot and prevent future problems. Don't forget to check the tire valve stems. If they are the combo rubber/brass type, you should consider going to the all metal bolt on type. The original stems have a history of blowing out at speed. Send pictures of your new scoot. I have a 2008 YY250T and started with a 2008 VIP moped.  |

Well, that was a fiasco. The brand new Craftsman impact wrench I bought off EBay couldn't even budge that nut on the clutch bell, nor could we break it loose with a 4' long breaker bar. So for the present I guess I'll just live with the low-speed chatter -- it's not a red tag situation, just annoying. One suspects red Loctite, or 15 Chinamen hanging on the torque wrench when they put the bolt on. From shopping around I know impact wrenches come in many different "horsepowers," and I guess the one I scored for $45 just isn't up to the job. A 4 foot breaker with one hundred pounds of force will give 400 foot pounds of torque which is more than most AC powered impact wrenchs. If you are using a battery powered torque wrench, I doubt if it would be strong enough for dependable work on the CVT. The AC powered Craftsman is at least as powerful if not more powerful than the HF model. The AC models can usually handle CVT work very well. I have a DeWalt model which is what the HF model is cloned after. Try applying some heat with a propane torch just before hitting with the impact wrench. |

I have run the transmission on my motorized bike, which has a centrifugal clutch similar to our scoots, with gear oil (clutch runs in oil) and dry. Works either way. Did run smoother with the oil which I think prevents glazing of the clutch lining. Running a dry clutch too gently can cause glazing which can cause the shuddering on initial acceleration until the clutch locks up. A couple of drops of oil might be a cure for recurring shuttering. Let us know how things work out if you try the oil method.

After you've done it a couple of times it's not so bad. Just a little time consuming. Keep all the fasteners organized so you have an idea where they go. Doing a good PDI usually involves taking off all the plastics which is why not all people do a full PDI.  |

I have a few pictures taken while installing my HID kit. The kits are widely available on Ebay. Damin69 (our forum mod) has a nice tutorial on his installation. Maybe he will see this and post the tutorial.  Simplified wiring diagram.  Ready for kit install.  Showing relay (controller) installation.  Showing ballasts installation.  HID headlights installed.  Ready for connection to HID headlights. |

It sounds like a weak battery. Driving with a deficient charging system would eventually kill any battery and it would die very quickly with more driving like in every day use. If the battery is just very weak then it could last long enough to start the scoot after a short layover like maybe a day like in your case. The battery is probably self discharging too fast too allow more than a day without running. Even a good charging system will not overcome this problem.
Even though the scoot is a 2012, the battery is one year old which is about all the use you sometimes will get with the original equipment battery. To avoid problems, many people will buy a good aftermarket replacement even before having problems with the original battery.

My 2008 YY250T does have twist off bulbs, but the entire bulb holder assembly has to be removed to get to the bulb. The only time I did a bulb replacement is when I had the nose off. There is a wire spring type lock which holds the bulb assembly in and when the assembly is removed, then the bulb is a push and twist to remove. I replaced everything with a HID kit. Here's a picture of the back of the headlight showing the wire spring holder and the bulb assembly.  |

Welcome to the forum, Bob.  Glad to hear someone's getting nice weather. Still waiting for spring up here in Massachusetts. Still some snow on the ground. |

Welcome to the forum, beakeyozz. Looks like you're from the Brisbane area according to the IP. Thanks for the diagram showing the tachometer.  That's the first one I've seen that acknowledges a tachometer. |
