Must admit an error in my post. I assumed all those YY#######'s were approval designations. Not so and I find that even my scoot has a designation of 2008 #YY250T on the EPA noise emission requirements of 70db etc. tag. These scooters are built in China by Shanghai JMStar Motorcycle CO., LTD. Jonway Motorcycle USA CO is the importer, not the manufacturer. As I understand it. There is also Roketa that seems to be operating as a distributor and parts area. How they relate to Jonway I have not found out. Very confusing and no structure charts show up.
So I was misleading some folks that have read my post. Sorry about that as I had assumed all those YY###### numbers were air evaluation numbers when they are really machine types made in China and imported by Jonway. In the case of my machine there are two distinct machines, MC 54 250 with vertical 244cc engine and MC 54B 250 with horizontal 257cc engine. My scoot also has a B appended to the 250 number on the body. I have no idea what that B stands for and it is not shown in the catalog.
So for all, please ignore my post about air designations. But do look further than just the Jonway YY###### numbers as they still do not tell all. Try to identify the engine size for all. If possible also use the name of the scoot they sell it under as those can be found with descriptions of the machine, for the currently sold ones. Older models need more than just the YY numbers as I have yet to see a table the describes what those numbers really stand for.
Apologies for my mistakes.

What I do for my scoot when not in use, which is often, much too often.
I do have a battery tender on it but not necessarily needed as that way I keep the scoot. I also like to go to it and start it each week or two and let it run to warm up. I takes a few minutes and when the fan starts I run a bit more, then shut it off. That is why I maybe do not need the battery tender on it. It is in a garage with no climate control so we live with what we have. Running the engine till warmed is why I say maybe I don't need a battery tender.
I also use a bit of SeaFoam in the gas to try to prevent carburetor from clogging.
I think these machines are pretty comfortable in both cold and warm climates. A little attention at times makes the difference. I first had my scooter at 6,300 feet altitude in Colorado and now we are at 1,200 feet in south Arizona. I usually took care of my scoot in the winter but now I do it in the summer.

It might help if told about the engine size. Horizontal 257cc or vertical 244cc. I think they both have different gas tanks and sensor appears to be the same. I have a 244cc and the gas tank has a horizontal opening for the gas gauge. So the gauge swings way out over the fuel and tells if high or low.
To me a gas gauge is little more than an approximation. Even on cars that is all it is as acceleration and deceleration, going around curves, climbing or descending hills make the readings vary. Sure some of that on scooters as well. Tank size and shape also makes a big difference in actual amounts shown. I believe my tank is not true cross section from top to bottom. I have no idea how that is compensated for with a floppy, floating, float gauge. I consider below half tank is time to fill up at next possible location.
You could take the float gauge out of the tank. Then watch the dash gauge as you slide the float up and down. If close to top and bottom, what else could be done? If way off, maybe bend the rod up or down at the bend point on the rod.

Not an answer to you question at all but I have been looking for a 280 and 282 lamp. All I have been finding is various light strips called 280 or 282. Just never have found just a bulb with that designation.

Best to just post your concerns. Someone will respond in time. Describe your scoot, type of engine such as 244cc vertical or 257cc horizontal both can be sold as 250cc class, the problem or concern.

Thanks for your feed back. So the search list is not complete. So I guess I will keep looking and maybe find a more complete list somewhere.

Did you try those numbers in the cross reference chart to see which LED to buy? Would hope the cross reference chart is helpful to some folks.

Thanks Alleyoop. Just took me back to where I had come from. Well, just won't be doing it right now so plenty of time to figure it all out. Pretty darned expensive looking stuff. Maybe as LED's become more common the prices might start to fall.

There has been discussion about these things but I have not found any listing of how to use the extra bright, new style of lights.
Do these new bulbs use same numbers for interchangeability?
Are they direct replacements with no rewiring needed?
I have seen locations to buy them but never a list of most common lights.
I looked for such information in the tech help section but did not find any.
I looked into the Roketa list of scoots and supplies but they don't give the bulb designations, just the location and cost.
It appears that many I have found will be at least $4.00 and then up.
Has anybody developed such a list? There are a number of lights on the scooters but I am thinking that many will actually be the same.

Yep, November 1 st and back to riding again. Getting nice and cool down here, finally.
I grew up in north central Ohio, just below Lake Erie. Had some pretty cold winters there.
