900 miles and i checked the valves just to be sure all ok.

remove engine cover, seat and with a small screwdriver snap off front cover ,just take it easy. now the valve cover is right there. 4 bolts, 1 hose and loosen bolt on side.

find top dead center, remove cover on alt. cover ,use 19mm scoket to turn engine over - clockwise. check valves with .004in or .1mm. mine were all ok except 1 intake valve was tight - 003, corrected to .004in. easy to do.

also checked plug. it was very loose finger tight .color was fine , installed and tightened . all done ,next check at 3000 miles . see yea, ike

here i am on my new people 300. 320 miles , on way home at stop light ,i smell belt burning and scot wants to go. idle is too high and then up pops the dreaded orange engine trouble light. taking scot to dealer on monday (jan 29) for repairs. i have on order givi windshield from givi usa at 1-877-679-4484. price is blade # 443A - $ 105 , mountung kit # A443A - $ 80 . total is $ 185 with free shipping . they are waiting for mounting kit 2 - 3 weeks . i hope dealer has scot fixed by the time windshield arrives, too cold without it.

so far - ha,ha scot is great . ride is better than my vespa gts 300. no break-in mileage in owners manual. i'm keeping speeds between 40-60 until 600 miles. gas mileage 72- 68- 65 on 1st 3 tanks. not to worry it will get better , my vespa gets 75-80 all the time, of course it has 4000 miles.

i started a long blog comparing vespa to people ,but i dont type and somewhere along the line i lost it all,man was i pissed and i couldnt find it .

i'm at a loss why built - turn signals are disabled . they do work on my yeager.kymco usa says it has to do with DOT

i spent 1 hour taking off front plastic . the bulb holders are there, the wiring is there , so i installed the bulbs #7507 ,     but nothing worked. next i have to remove plastic around handlebars to further check the wiring to add-on- turn signals stay tuned my two fingers are tried .

scot is deep blue with 2900 miles. last service at 2000, oil change ,filter change and valve check. tires are good. also included are owners manual, service manual, givi windscreen cut down 3 ins. shad 29 liter top box with quick dismount. . nada lists this bike at 3200 average retail.sorry i dont know how to post pics on ad. i'm located in alamogordo,n.m. i have truck and would help to deliver. if interested call IKE at 575-644-7753. p
.s. also have stock windshield. thanks,ike

oh, well these things happen . bulb was a 60/55 watt made in germany. i guess vibration did the deed. it doesnt seen like the yeager shakes that much. to install - remove windshield , small cover under shield. next remove entire front cover. lots of screws and 2 nuts dont miss 2 screws under front . with cover off disconect 3 wire holders . nice the way cover comes off no little tangs to break off . see yea,ike

ok ,here we go. at first 2 disclaimers, 1 . i live at attutide of 4350 ft ,this will take at least 1 hp away. 2 . im 5'11' and weigh 260 lbs. more hp loss. tues, i did service on bike .600 miles. wed i rode 100 miles up in mountains. thur-today i rode 210 miles. scooter club goes to lunch every thur. its 70 miles to the town they start from. onway over i cruised at 7000 rpm which was between 54-58 mph. on a nice level spot i opened him up. i saw 8000rpm and speed was steady at 65 mph. so for me that is top speed at 700 miles. i didnt try to go over 8000 rpm. anyhow thats my story. love this bike buy for long rides i will take my burgman 400 with a large wind shield , seat back rest and cruises at 75 all day long. so there,im done. hope you enjoy my story,thanks ike. ps mpg so far is between 83-86. really good on highway. see,yea

hi , i just installed a new 29 liter top box by shad. price was $89 i think. mounting plate was bolted to the small rack . bolts included were too short , so a trip to hardware for i inch longer bolts was done. bolts in kit were metric , at store i got 1/4-20 with locking nuts. box does stick out more than i would like buy looks good. also installed a cruise control. the $24 one with thump control. works great. now have 450 miles and will adjust valves at 500 miles . sorry no pics dont now how . will print results of valve adjust soon. also i paid dealer $15 and he downloaded yager sevice manual to my computer . there were 21 chapters and the complete print-out was 3 ins thick .took quite a while for printing and 2 extra black carts. to complete. now i have to hole punch and place in large binder. likeing it more every day. ride safe,ike

hi, i read someone asking about a costa variator. i have a 2006 burgman 400s .bought it with 2000 miles on it.at that time a got a costa to replace jerkey and noisy stock variator . wow what a difference ,very smooth on takeoff no roller noise and a lot faster on takeoff . bike now has 9000miles  with no problems at all. top speed is about the same 95 mph,thats at 4300 alt. and a 250 lb rider. cant remember price around 280, i think. i have a 2010 yeager gt 200i . just got it and think its a great machine. no need for a costa onn this baby. thanks, iker
