I did cut about 4 0r 5 " off of the Givi. We've been real happy with it and I certainly would recommend one for the Yager.  Couldn't stand it though until I cut it down.

I couldn't agree more with Bill. The Yager is a great scooter for around town, country roads, and the occasional expressway. Really not for interstates. My wife and I have ridden two up for short distances ( 10 miles or so) and this scooter performs remarkably well, although it's not very comfortable two up.
This is my wifes bike and it's been a great one for her to learn how to ride and she just past her MSF course yesterday in the pouring cold rain.  I suspect though that she is going to sell it in the not to distant future and purchase a Downtown 300 which has greater power by far, more comfortable for longer rides. I was stunned when I test rode a Downtown last year, felt more like a 650 then a 300, good passing power in the 35-60 mph range, cruised real nice in the 65-70 mph area and would probably top out in the mid 90's mph. Much more comfortable seat and really the right size for two up too. It also felt that it had a much smoother and stable ride.
I'm not knocking the Yager one bit and if your going to be staying close to home pretty much it could be a good bike for you, but if your thinking trips like a weekend getaway for two I would go with the 300.        

Put a Givi windscreen on my wifes Yeager yesterday and took it out for a ride. With a head wind I too think we lost about 5 MPH or so with a tail wind I could still hit around 70.  It does really seem to effect top end on this scooter. It does however block the wind very well and I think my wife will like it. I was planing on cutting it down but its really not that bad to look through it and I think we'll just leave it as is for the time being.

Just a few comments here. First I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was riding a BMW K1200LT a couple of years ago except I was doing about 55MPH when a cyclist turned right in front of me. Thanks to the BMW anti dive suspension, linked brakes, and ABS I never hit him and I never went down. I simply applied maxim braking. It's one of the reasons once my wife gets a little more experience with her Yeager that we may sell it and move to something that has a more sophisticated suspension and braking system.
Second, I had someone comment to me about why I wear all of my gear when riding her scooter, my reply was when you hit the pavement at whatever MPH your doing it doesn't matter whether I'm on her scooter or my BMW the results are the same.
Third, it sounds to me that the OP used to much rear brake, I suspect that a slight jerk o the handlebars to the left with too much rear brake caused the rider to go down.  With every new to me bike that I first get I ride to a empty parking lot or lonely road and practice threshold braking ( braking  to the point of almost locking up your brakes), I start at about 20 MPH and work up to 60MPH. I'm stunned as to how many riders don't know how fast their bike can stop and how much pressure you can really apply to those brakes.
Last, a poster above mentioned about how he normally takes a turn on the inside and when he didn't he had close call. Really the proper way to take a take a turn ( I call them corners) is to start on the outside and gradually head toward the inside until you hit the apex and just gradually head towards the outside after the apex. Braking is all done before the corner although racers use trail braking right up to the apex.
There are many great books out there like Total Controlrol by Lee Parks. Lee covers many of the things that riders can use to save our necks. I would suggest with the on set of winter for some of you pick up a copy, it would make some good reading over the non riding season and would also make a very good Christmas present.            
  

Today when my wife was out riding her Yager the CELP Light came on from time to time.  I test rode it, under hard acceleration it will come on then go off. It is not being over rev-ed and seems to run just fine, no other issues at all.
I thought I saw a posting somewhere on this forum about someone having a similar issue but I can't find it under search.
Any ideas?   

I can't find this on the Givi website so I would suspect this is one of their universal shields or something this company put together using Givi products. Looks like lot's of brackets hold this one on, sure would be nice to find something simpler.

[quote author=...If you put the cigarette lighter jack below the front of the seat, you'll have heat problems, since the top of the cylinder is right there, and you'll have an extra thing you'll have to disconnect / move out of the way when adjusting the valves or doing any engine work that requires removing that panel under the front of the seat. I can't think of a good alternate location that's protected from the elements, easily accessible, and protected from engine and exhaust heat, though...

 nplenzick, No heat problem?

No heat problems what so ever. That location is pretty far from the head, it's just a few inches below the seat, not in the way one bite of valve adjustment, it simply unplugs from the back if you take the panel off.  I've installed these in far hotter area's on other bikes. The main reason I installed it in that location is for heated gear. Most heated gear needs to be plugged in on your left . I'm not sure how much heated gear this scoot can power but I think it should do at least a pair of gloves.
