That may explain why my personal area of photobucket is no longer how I set it up. I could not find some photo's where I thought I had put them, it says empty file. But in bouncing around they showed up somewhere else. I don't have much there and was looking for some scoot photo's I had there. When I found them I could not get them to operate the way I had hoped.

Thanks for your warning JR. I think it is time for me to start looking around some more for a secure home for the photo's I do have.

Nothing more correct than both wheels on the ground and a rider on the seat while checking the alignment. Yes, it does make you get off, tweak the screws then get back on. Your idea of doing it on the stand first would be good as then you can just tweak away till close and follow by a sit on two wheels and rider weight for final check and final tweaks if necessary.

Pretty tough to do. After I had taken my windshield and front covers off I decided to adjust the head lights. Similar to the older car lights. Three screws to turn for up down, left and right. I made a target on the side of a plywood piece. Pulled the scoot to about 20 feet back and aligned, had it on the center stand for stability and alignment.

The lights were so far off that the left light crossed the right light that close up. Kept adjusting till I finally got the left light going more straight ahead and the right light also more straight ahead. I was able to lower the lights to below the centerline on the plywood so I knew they were not lighting the trees up. Big problem was that I was turning those screws to maximum this way or that and never really got the light beams to be where I felt they should be.

I don't know if there is any attempt to align those lights at all. Not even sure they can be aligned by anyone. But at least for me, I feel that I tried and hope they will be OK if I ever need to ride at night.

Fuel gauge. Have you tested the two wires that come from the guage? Have you pulled the gauge from the tank to make sure the float is free to move?

Radio is something I wish I didn't have so I know nothing about that.

Hard to read. But what I see is Displacement 244 300(?). Did I see that correctly?

Your tag is different than mine. I have mine copied but not in a form I can present on the PC. That will take me some time to do and right now I need to start my daily things not associated to scooter. I still think naming the scooter engine style, horizontal or vertical, is one of our better ways to describe our setups.

I have been trying to clear up how these machines were built and numbered but it seems that factory is one thing and then importers and distributors are possibly more concerns. I will try to get back to this conversation later. Have a good day.

I hope your first ride is a good one.

When I bought my MC 54 250 it came in a crate, on the back of a truck. Once the driver got it into my garage he insisted on opening the crate for a look. So we did and I signed off.

Had plenty to do as I had get the police to come and verify that the numbers were correct, listed it to be in my possession, this gave me authority to get insurance, buy plates. I then tore off the plastics and started to check for loose wires, got some new stems for the tires, changed oil and transmission fluids, replaced the coolant mix, and lots of other piddly things like install a battery standby cable so I could plug in the battery when not in use. I really like the battery tender idea so far.

Not sure what you mean here. Did you not use the Roketa links I provided above. Plenty of detail for source and prices and part numbers.

If you mean technical information like tune ups, repairs, whatever, just browse these forums for information. If a good post is submitted there will be several that will step in with ideas.

You are in the right place if looking for advice or helps.
