Clive Posted Friday at 09:30 Share Posted Friday at 09:30 Granddaughter rang yesterday "Scoot making a funny noise and won't start!" .....So I nipped over to hers, battery almost totally flat, starter relay just chattering when button is pressed, she also said that when it was running it would only do 25mph!....tried to pull it out of the garage, front brake absolutely seized, charged the battery, stripped the caliper, cleaned and greased it...scoot now starts and does 55mph again, so i thought I would check other things too, oil level fine, air filter clean, tyres!...both down by at least 22psi....... a bucket of wash and wax would be a good thing too..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between you and @Saul you make a good emergency response team Funnily enough I have just come in from checking overs Shadows bike, tyre, pressures, oil, chain all the usual stuff. Then washed and GT85 ed it. Just slipped her a sneaky £10 for fuel as well. So her mother doesn't moan. She is off over St Eval this afternoon to spend the weekend at the boyfriends parents. I am going to lead her over there as she isn't sure exactly how to get there, getting home is easier as she only has to follow the signposts to St Aweful or Bodmin. Found a screw in her back tyre but only about 3 mm into the chunky part of the tyre, lucky catch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I had a similar thing with my boys scoot the other day, I noticed the front brake pads were wafer thin. I ordered new but when they came one of the pad pins seized and stripped, so bought a used caliper and fitted that. Only for the boy to tell me the front brakes had been rubbish for weeks. FFS He was shocked how good they were now they actually work. I sometimes wonder if at 21 he would have the sense to come in out of the rain. I did enjoy playing with the ped though, all relatively simple but therapeutic to do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
