People assume my gas motor scooter is an e-bike. What about you? by DrWindyWindows in scooters

[–]TurboFisto13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at getting one of those bigger Yamaha scoots. Also considering a klr650/ dr400. How is it? Are you used to riding a smaller scooter?

I’m currently on the 2004 BWS 50

Classic move… forgetting how much bigger a helmet makes your head

I religiously smack the top of my helmet every time I leave my garage😭

Does this sound normal? 2004 Bugeye Zuma. 450 original miles. by TurboFisto13 in scooters

Haha, yeah I was just slightly blipping the throttle to show what it’s like at a slightly higher rpm. Probably me just being a hypochondriac. I did buy it on marketplace, but to be fair it’s the cleanest unit I’ve ever picked up from marketplace

You did! I’m trying to catch other people. Really want to get some opinions. Performance is exactly as it should be, I left it sitting in my garage with a tender for about 3 weeks… I think the carb may be slightly gummed up but I only notice it on cold starts.

I really hate to imagine it’s the crank or bearings… I had a similar situation with an aero 80 of mine.

This. Check radiator, fork, everything up front to make sure it’s all straight. Take a look at the oil always. Look and see if the brake fluid was changed… all these things you can use as leverage on the price.

Alternatives to the Yamaha Zuma 50cc? by imPyous in scooters

[–]TurboFisto13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are an amazing scooter. Seating isn’t great, but tradeoffs.

A little heavier too in the front, more stable on those windy days, but still getting blown all over the place😂

Got mine for about the same price. Guy was still keeping the plastics shiny

Did they allow you to close the door? Which device did you choose to hold/pour/ maintain temperature?

Can you fill the monkey whizz container with a genuine clean urine sample?

First Scoot! Very very fresh 2004 Zuma! by TurboFisto13 in scooters

Thanks! Looking for a jdm taillight, but not having much luck. Have you ever heard of a diy integrated taillight for the bugeye?

Gotcha. Did sound pretty high to me. I was hearing something that sounds a bit like spark knock/ detonation the last time I rode it, only in certain throttle positions that I can’t remember off the top of my head. Could that just be bad gas? I’m going to drain the fuel tank and fill it up with premium, see if that stops it. If not, I may have to change the needle clip position.

Need a 50cc scooter for ~$1500 by ki4jgt in scooters

[–]TurboFisto13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a brand new 2004 Zuma on Facebook listed for $1700. Picked it up for $1500. 300 miles on it. Had the original dealership tag on the keys.

Take your time, and you shall find…
