People GT 300i / 45k
« on: December 19, 2015, 02:08:18 AM »
Been away for a while as scoot went down in February and I didn't get her back on the road until October.(1999 Mazda Miata in the driveway may have influenced that ). Hit 45,000 miles yesterday. Just another typical day fighting for turf in a merge area and a Silverado changing lanes on top of me literally pushed to inside shoulder. Scoot is still very solid at this stage which is a testament to the build quality. My former BV250 was leaking in the forks and had a new head gasket by 32k due to exhaust stud failing among other ills. Hoping to hit 50 by June next year. Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks, Yellow Jacket and Dee dee, Tried kill switch several times but had not thought about kick stand switch. Thinking it is electrical,ignition related and will everyone know once solved. It will be paid off in April

People GT 300i / Down and Out
« on: March 03, 2015, 12:22:52 AM »
Couple weeks back scoot died in a heart beat while running at 60mph. I haven't been motivated to open her up with the fine weather of late. The nearly mile push took a few days to recover from alone . I looked up underneath her briefly today hoping to see the plug boot off or broken but not my luck. Nothing is leaking and fluid levels are ok. Starter cranks but no fire. Hoping for some thoughts from Zombie. Going to check for spark and fuel first. Stator? Broken timing chain. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Odo is between 44-45k.

Haven't ridden for several weeks but took the scoot out yesterday to run an appointment. Stopped at the station in town which still has "free air"(Breathe deep the gathering gloom). Pressures were down at 10&11psi.About like the footballs! Point is check um when you start pulling them out. Amazing how quick the scoot feels when you haven't ridden for a while.

I am a big fan of Michelin City Grips. Usually run 13-15k miles out of a set. They are very good in the wet. Motorcycle Superstore usually has reasonable pricing.

This year only on pace to hit about 15k miles on my 300gti but working through gear box issues hurt. But father forgive me for I have sinned. I bought a 99 Mazda Miata to use as a back up to scoot but must confess it may be more fun to drive through the twisties than riding the scoot is.

Thanks Yellow Jacket! I haven't ridden for a few weeks now as a bearing in the gear box has failed but I will definitely look at caliper when putting everything back together.

People GT 300i / Re: What do y'all think of my air filter
« on: August 22, 2014, 12:43:52 AM »
Brake cleaner. Maybe not text book but I don't have the money for the filter. Still using the original at 41k miles. If you are having a slight stumble around 40 mph it's not the air filter. Changing to lighter sliders helped the stumble.

People GT 300i / 40 the new 30?
« on: August 05, 2014, 11:28:28 AM »
Crossed over 40k yesterday. Scoot to this point has been great. Newest minor detail is the locked cubby which hasn't been used for a long time the other day I went to unlock it and locking barrel fell through door with the slightest touch of the key. Now held shut with duct tape. Gold Member needs a new belt, new rear rotor and the finned portion of the variator pulley all on order. Slight oil leak at top end and something going on in gears but confident it will get to 50. Still a joy to ride everyday. Stay safe out there
