Nearly dumped it !!
« on: April 03, 2017, 06:41:27 PM »
I was reminded again this morning that my LIKE200i does not like to sit still when engine is running and side stand is down on even a tiny gradient !

Rolled the scooter out for a pre-sunrise ride this morning; engine running to warm it up, put down the side stand on my nearly flat driveway - turned around to roll down the garage door and caught my scooter rolling forward off of the stand!

I think it was the vibrations of the engine running that helped set the scoot in motion down the pavement.
Learned my lesson, center stand only when engine is running ! Probably why some scoots have the side-stand lock-out.
(manual says engine will not start or run if side-stand is down....printing error)
Took a couple snaps.....

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I broke a leaver and scratched side panel. Couple of months later it was totaled in an accident. Which got me a twin. Side stand in the like cant be trusted, i never used it since and passed that to my brother who owns it now!
