Well Bike has been down for two weeks. Starter took a kill. I figure it is the celanoid in the starter,cause it whines o.k. but does not turn the bike over. Bought a brand new battery( needed one anyway).I called scooterdepot and ordered a new starter from them on friday 5/2/14 had to keep calling back all last week until I finally got someone to explain why I have yet to be charged on my card and why it hasn't shipped yet. Got a load of comments from him, but he assures me(not very assuring) that when it is ready to ship they will contact me. I told them I need this in a rush, does not seem to matter much. I had to call them as I had nowhere else to go to find this starter.Costing me around $90 shipped so far, not real sure exactly what the final total will be until the contact me telling me it shipped.
As much as I love this bike, some things just cause alot of unnessesary headaches when trying to locate parts for it. Maybe it is just that this is my daily driver, and I need it every day to and from work. Or maybe I am just impatient. Either way it sucks that i cannot ride when the weather has been awesome around here.
Will keep you posted on when the starter gets here.
