I received and installed the new R/R and everything seems to be working. All voltages are where they're supposed to be! Since this has been an ongoing problem with the battery severely being drained by riding and charging every night the battery no longer holds a charge longer than one ride. I have an Autozone near my house, aside from measuring the battery and finding one that fits, does anyone know which battery I should get? I would prefer an AGM or Gel Cell if at all possible.

Thanks for the information. Everything else on the scooter works just fine. I saw an R/R on the Oregon Motorcycle Parts web page and was wondering if this is the correct one. The part number is VRRPM3H.

The charging system on my scooter is no longer functional. I understand from reading previous posts that there are four main components to the charging system: the regulator/rectifier, blocking diode, stator, and the CDI. The engine that I have is the vertical model which I believe is the 244cc engine. With the engine off and the key out of the ignition the voltage reading on the battery is 12.25, at idle it is 11.0x, and running up to 4000 rpm the reading is 12.0x. In order for the battery to charge it needs to be at least 13.6 volts. Does this indicate which part is at fault? If not, what should the readings be on the individual components? I will be taking all of the plastics off again this weekend. I have replaced the brake lights with LEDs and I replaced the 35w incandescent bulbs with a 35w HID headlight system. All of this was done before the charging system went bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a gas leak on my scooter and in order to get to it I had to take all of the plastics off. Upon further inspection, it seems that quite a
few hoses are showing dry rot (cracks). I can't seem to find the correct fuel lines at any of the auto parts stores. Does anyone know
what size they are (diameter)? I've decided since all of the body panels are off I'm going to replace all of the fuel lines one at a time
from the gas tank all the way back including the fuel filter. I've taken one of the fuel lines to the stores and they can't seem to match
it to anything in stock. All of the fuel lines seem to be the same diameter. What size and where can I get them??
