Title: Is this normal
Post by: mnpugdog on October 16, 2012, 07:47:51 PM

So I have been riding my 300 for about a month now. At lower speeds it hesitates like it's not getting enough gas. This is my first scooter with EFI, It only has 180 miles on it so far. Is this normal for the 300 until it breaks in or should I have a dealer look at it?

Has it always been this way or something new?  In case it's a bad tank of fuel you might want to run this tank low and then refill it with fresh fuel.  If that is not the problem I would have the dealer take a look at it.

If it's up to 20mph and at the clutch engaging revs (below 4000), then it's ok.

I was thinking possibly bad gas from the dealer too.

It happens between about 15-40 mph, after that it might be happening but not sure.

Mine has weird symptoms when the tank gets to about a half gallon from the vapor lock in the fuel tank.  If I take off the gas cap and it sucks in a bunch of air and then put the cap back on, it is fine.  Does not have a problem when full.
