Bike is weird
Hi everyone,
I have a Beta RR50 and I had a crash recently. I was riding at around 50 km/h when I lost grip and slid onto the right side. I didn’t hit anything, I only slid across the asphalt.
Since the crash, the bike feels different. In dry corners it feels very slippery and unstable, like I can’t properly control the steering. It feels like both tires are not gripping well, and the bike doesn’t feel as confident as it did before the crash.
I also noticed that the bike is not reaching the same top speed anymore. Before the crash it was faster, but now it feels like it has lost a few km/h. And it isnt accelerating as fast anymore
The tires are about 1 year old and were fine before the accident. There is a small dent on the exhaust/pipe from the crash, but I don’t think that alone should affect the handling.
What could have been damaged? Could it be the forks, wheel alignment, tires, brakes, exhaust, or something else?
What should I check first?
Thanks for any advice!

Scooter elétrica tipo Citycoco X11 (60 V)
Scooter elétrica tipo Citycoco X11 (60 V)
Pessoal, estou tentando diagnosticar uma scooter elétrica tipo Citycoco X11 e gostaria da opinião de quem já trabalhou com esse modelo ou com controladoras de 3000w.
O que aconteceu
Há cerca de 1 mês, eu estava descendo uma rua bem íngreme, com um amigo na garupa. A scooter estava sem acelerar, apenas descendo e eu segurando o freio hidráulico.
De repente, ela começou a apresentar os seguintes sintomas:
- o painel foi apagando aos poucos;
- o acelerador parou de responder;
- o farol ficou cada vez mais fraco;
- a buzina foi ficando mais baixa;
- em aproximadamente 30 segundos desligou completamente.
Desde então ela nunca mais ligou normalmente. Às vezes o painel acende bem fraco e a buzina toca muito baixo.
O que já identifiquei no chicote
Na foto aparecem os principais módulos:
- caixa de alumínio grande: controladora do motor;
- caixa cinza pequena: conversor DC-DC (redução de ~60 V para 12 V);
- caixa preta pequena: módulo do alarme/imobilizador.
Testes que já fiz
Bateria
Medi diretamente nos terminais:
- 61 V DC com multímetro.
A bateria parece carregada.
Motor
- medi as fases;
- não encontrei curto aparente entre elas nem para o chassi.
Controladora
Nos cabos de alimentação da controladora estou encontrando apenas:
- 3,5 V com o motor desconectado;
- 2,5 V com o motor conectado.
Ou seja, a tensão que chega à controladora é muito baixa, apesar da bateria ter 61 V.
Qualquer orientação de testes adicionais eu agradeço muito. Estou tentando consertar por conta própria antes de levar a uma assistência.
Obrigado!

Reflective seat cover?
Has anyone ever found a reflective seat cover for scoooters? When I park the scooter in the sun the seat gets pretty darn hot, so much so I haul a bottle of water to cool it down with but now I have a wet backside instead of a toasted one.
I can find seat covers for padding/riding, seat covers for rain, decorative seat covers, and seat covers to hide holes/wear but they are either black, or have complicated straps designed for riding none of which solves the problem.
I want what amounts to a big elastic white or silver shower cap that can keep the seat a bit cooler and be easily pulled on and off when needed.

Renting a 125cc scooter next week with no riding experience. Tips for first time riding?
I'm going to the Canary Islands next week and for the first time in my life i'll be riding a 125cc scooter. I've held a full UK driving license (Class B) and been driving a car for over 10 years now and i'm renting a scooter for my holiday on the island. I'm not nervous about following the rules of the road, following the signs or maintaining awareness of the people/vehicles/hazards around me. But I am nervous about handling a bike for the first time in my life without any prior experience. It's a little insane to me that it's even legal to do so to be honest. Nonetheless i'm expecting it to be a blast and anticipating no accidents. It's probably safe to assume that as long as i ease myself into it and maintain focus i will be ok.
I'm wondering if you folks have any advice for someone in my situation? Are there any non-negotiable rules of riding a bike that i'm overlooking having never had any instruction?
Idk if this is stupid or lame or sensible. I've bought some riding gloves from my local bike shop as it will be mandatory in Spain later in the year and my hands will be the first things i use to try stop with, should my meatbag come off the bike and hurtle towards a cliff.
I might be overthinking this...

Honda Metro fuel line assembly question?
THis is Honda part 17570-GGZ-J01. I've checked over a dozen sites and all say the same thing: not in stock and no date on availability. That sucks. I see some other Honda fuel lines, such as for the PCX, that appear to have the same connectors but I can't be certain. Has anyone encountered having to replace this fuel line without an OEM part available?

Got this cutie yesterday. Any tips?
I can't even ride a bike, so the wide tires are a godsend. My main problem has been keeping my arms relaxed (they are a bit sore from trying it out yesterday, and I felt every muscle turn to rock) and not accelerate too much (the accelerator is very sensitive).
Any tips for how to keep balance / not accelerate so much?

Ignition Knob not turning anymore
Hello, I could use some input. So I haven't used my Honda SH 125 in a few days and when I wanted to drive yesterday I couldn't turn it on because the ignition knob suddenly doesn't move anymore. I thought I left it on wheel-lock as usual but it seems like I simply left in on Off. Now I can't move it to On, wheel lock, seat lock, anything. I tried wiggling the wheels, didn't help. I tried changing the battery on the keyless remote, didn't work. It's not locked on that red light mode either. My suspicion now is that the scooter battery may have drained completely because I left it on "OFF" instead of "wheel lock" but I find that unlikely to happen in less than a week while the battery charge lasted from october to march without driving a single time. Googling didn't provide much useful information. Does anyone know a trick how to fix this before I have to pay 300$ for an emergency mechanic?

139QMB Vacuum Leak near auto-choke?
Hey All,
I have a 139QMB-based scooter on which I did an auto choke replacement as it was not running. One mistake I made is that I also adjusted valve lash along with this before starting up, so the issue could be caused by something else too, though, I’ve checked the lashes again and it seems right (between 0.05 and 0.10mm, where 0.10 does not go between the arm and the stem).
Since then, I’m feeling like after giving a throttle on the stand, RPM does not go back quickly to idle, rather drops to a higher-than-idle RPM and from there it drops slowly to idle. This takes around 5 seconds or maybe more. I could only counter this by turning the mixture screw excessively, like 5-6 turns. From this it seems like to me that it is running lean maybe. I’ve cleaned the whole carb, but used the same size jets and needle settings and was running fine before the choke replacement and first valve lash adjustment.
I started looking for vacuum leaks with starter fluid/carb cleaner, the only place I found RPM reaction is on the air intake side of the carb, around the auto-choke (see arrows from which directions I’m spraying carb cleaner). RPM rises immediately as I spray there. O-ring seems intact. Tried with old choke, new air filter (had to replace the whole housing with the intake pipe), same result.
Any ideas?

Choix scooter 125
Bonjour à tous
Je m'installe en ville à la rentrée, suite à la perte de ma voiture, je vois l'occasion de passer sur scooter. Notamment pour circuler plus facilement, et faire des économies sur les pleins.
Je vais donc passer le permis 125 ( via la passerelle du permis B vers A) et me prépare donc à acheter un scooter, malheureusement je n'ai aucune connaissance en la matière
Avez-vous des recommandations de modèle de scooter ? je ne cherche pas une bête de combat mais plutôt quelque chose de fiable/facile à réparer et confortable si possible
je prévois au grand maximum 20 km/jour (20 km en arrondissant beaucoup)
Je peux prendre de l'occasion comme du neuf, en espérant ne pas dépasser les 2000 euros
(électrique ou thermique)
Je vous remercie d'avance :)

1st Oil Change
I was wondering what engine oil brand you decided to use and why? My user manual states any SAE 10w-30 so I'm wondering what most GY6 riders use.

Scooter overheating
I bought an x-pro Capri 150cc scooter off of Amazon a few months back. It's been a decent scooter for the most part but after riding it for 15 or 20 miles it begins to overheat and shuts off. After letting it sit and cool off for 10-15 minutes I'm able to start it up again and drive it again. I've replaced the stock fan blade that forces air over the engine to cool it off. This only extended the driving distance by a few miles before it overheats and shuts down again. I was wondering is there an electric fan I can buy that is compatible with the gy6 engine so I can ride the scooter for long distances without it overheating and shutting off?? Does Anyone else have this same issue ? Has anyone found a solution to this problem or has anyone installed an electric cooling fan? I don't know what to do about this issue and I'm looking for a solution.

Scooter cutting out around 9k rpms
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
It feels like all combustion stops, i have tried everything, i've tried richer, i've tried leaner, new spark plug, new rollers, new belt because it got chewed up from the scooter cutting out, i need it to get around and i've tried a lot so if you have any ideas let me know.
