Thank you scot. It looks like I have a problem in my PC. I could not post those picks but you did. Time for me to do some work on my PC . Maybe something in my Proboards connection or ScooterProfessor setup or something else. Some more time consuming efforts for me. When you do work on your scoot, take your time, take some pictures if you can. I did just that myself, had a lot of photo's and notes on my computer. Then had a problem with my computer. Lost lots of my photo records of what I was doing and notes too. Just try not to have a PC problem destroy your inputs. . hear this one .sounds like that is what I should do is pull out about 6 ounces or so,i guess I was right about one thing ,my gas tank is slimmer an the radiator in in the front wow ,,but I realy thought for sure ,its was whear you guys said it was I hope you guys may have found out 2013 has it in the front ,do I get to move up to a freshman or something ,just kidding thanks Bob Jr .I will be hear aroun an about ,yes let me know when you can what you think scott of the pics
,have you guys seen other in the front like I had said I had never seen the other set up before ,though none of us probley have with the jap ones ,I had said to myself the radiator is right hear in the front |

Not sure about which part you are talking about. So I will make a guess. The black floor piece between the rear engine part and the front steering part. If so, let me say this to you. If wrong just ignore what I have said. First, you must take off the metal strips for you feet. Then you will find a number of screws holding the rubber part down on both sides. Then you will need to loosen up both the rear panels so you can move them aside to get the rubber from underneath the panels. Also need to loosen the two front panels so you can get them out of the way as you work the front of the rubber part loose. The rubber part needs to be loose all around so that it can be maneuvered around as you try to lift it out. That is the way I originally did it. Since then I do things a bit different If it was me now doing it, I would completely remove the rear panels and put them aside for now. That means taking the box off, removing all the screws on the panels. Be careful at the rear as they like to stay together. There are items at the rear that need to be removed also. A small panel under the tail lights needs removed. Also follow the wire on the right hand side from the tail lights to a connector, I believe it was just a slip connector, and take it apart to free the light and the panels to be picked up and moved to the side away from the scoot. Be careful while handling the panels as they are still somehow connected at the rear. Try to not break something. If you don't want to take the side panels completely off they would be free to just push them back a bit while you do whatever work you want to do. You can tip them a bit to one side or the other. This way you won't need to remove the lock on the left side. To remove the lock you move the panels enough to get behind the left panel and work the keeper out from behind the panel and work the cables free. Then you can remove the lock so you can move the panels away. Either way, off or just moved to the rear, you will free the rear of the rubber foot pad. Making it much easier to get the rubber pad off or back on. . Attachments:

yes i got that far ,an just could not wiggle it out mabey its the cold weather ,did find the bolt I dropped an another on ,like said you will be able to see in my pics that thew radiator is in the front I do like that change ,an you will see in the pics how full it is as well as the overflow hose I am going to drill a hole in the bottom plate to allow the hose to go through ,its so long I may trim it to ,an so now it will run right onto the ground should I have to much or overheat ,at this point other then takeing off the front end an glove compartment wich was what I was going to do ,then I desided ,I got enough apart now ,I don't think it was a leak ,it was just the combo of the cap no on tight an the overflow as iwas allowing it to get right ,I do like the fact the radiator is in front ,I was dumbfunded when I looked at your then looked at mine an said do they just make it look like that no its in fron t as you can see,i guess you could point out how much I should take out or don't need,i am going to get one of those drain pumps that everyone has now there like 7.00,well worth it ,for draing gas tanks quicker an other things as well I thank you bob ,an will put is back together sunday ,scott 8-|oh I willquote so you can see the pics above

scot, I don't ever take the cap off my radiator unless for some reason the overflow tank goes down or dry. Just check the slot below the overfill bottle looking for fluid level in the slot below the cap. I would never ride below the 40 degrees temps. And I also find it hard to ride when the temps down here get to the high 90 degrees temps. I may have ridden short runs at over 100 degrees but will never try when we get into the 110 to 115 degrees ranges. Highest temp I have seen down here was 117 degrees but I was in my car with the cooler going full blast and at home with the A/C keeping the house at 79 degrees. . |

well I got the cap back on after takeing little out ran in for 10 minutes good warm up ,it probley just needed to get into system ,was only a few drops ,I think its like you said bob an the tech was I had to much in there ,an it had to go some whear ,so I figure ,that must have been it .I am going to let it cool then run it again another 10 minutes ,though when I get warmer day I can see I still want ,get in there an have look at mine ,how do you fill yours through cap under seat ,with my jap bikes I never had to do anything ,to the cooling system ,though I sold them all with low miles thanks

so mabey I do have it to full to the neck ,that what there tech said ,though he said instead of draining some out ,he said it would just stop with time ,,I still want to take a look ,it seem ,if was warmer could take it part in a few hours ,but like I said I will just peck at it .I am guessing there is a drain on the radiator ,they said to drain what was left with note on seat ,then on phone though they said they had id it for me ,an they also said ,they replaced it with 50/50 ,wich as you can see in the pics there was nothing to see,thanks bob sunday in later this week we supposed to get warm up .oh they had said the whole system holds up to a half gallon ,a brand new bottle of preston,it took about 3rd I wonder if they just drained the bootle an not the radiator ,though if you say bob the tank should one see about half way full couse of swelling from heating up ,it very well could be overflow ,couse its not leaking just siting there .I may try to start it ,take out some of before I start it ,an see if it leaks ,

yes bob I understand I had satilite with win vista that was not out to long then 7 came along ,this one had win7 with free upgrade to win 8 ,after I did that ms office has not worked right since ,I understand ,with my satilite I was restarting 4 times a day ,then I buy system mechanic it was 20.00 it helped remove a lot of junk an ran better for another 2 years ,when I thought it was near time it saved me ,yes thank you ,I had told the guy in the tread about hard starting ,I don't think these thing run well in cold temps I don't either ,so I will peck at it a little at a time an take pics ,now with the new one I still have few small issues computers ,yes software that removes junk clutter temp files they real seem to work ,I keep this posted ,today is to cold 28 ,we are getting januarry weather in november ,with warm year its hard to get used to the cold  ,though I am with fairpoint internet my email has been down for 2 weeks they cant seem to fix it ,its allways somethings had I have the back up email though |

yes I found they don't like to run in cold temps ,I actually am thinking of not runnging to cold temps myself may do damage to the engine ,though it say they can run as low as 5 degrees ,but my plan is to not run it below the temps you talk about ,if they had a plug like some jap machines do that would probley help ,but its so cold I just feel they were not built to run below 32 ,realically ,I may be wrong mabey some of they other guys know more ,I am hear in northeast an its supposed to bearly get to 30 today ,anything I may have to do ,I will probley do on warmer day or in spring 8-|the first day I ran mine was like 28 hard starting it ,next day was 45 then it ran fine after 5 minutes
