Problem Yammie
12 July 2010.
My Yamaha QT50 runs strange. It pulls away OK, gets to 25mph and starts to four-stroke. If I ease off the gas a bit, it runs OK again. I’ve stripped and cleaned all the carb jets etc, set needle on all four grooves (finding the top groove the best), fitted inline filter, decoked top end plus exhaust, set the mixture, but it’s still the same.

Hot Runner

I’d like to fit heated grips to my Runner VXR 200 but am wondering if they will be more trouble than they are worth. Will they keep draining the battery? Where is the best place to take the live feed from?

I’m purchasing a new scooter and would like a standard screen fitted. Would this increase wind resistance, or reduce it? Also, would a screen affect the mpg?
