Ohh what is that smell? Don't ignore it.

Yikes, may scooter has been smelling like it was burning its clutch for several days. I couldn't pin it down but decided to take the rear Tupperware off to check. Didn't take too long to find the problem.

The connector was burnt to a crisp, just crunchy. I tinned the leads, and crimped them together. Problem solved, but it could have been ugly.

The scooter has made it past 23,000 happy miles thus far.

*eep!* How did your scoot NOT catch fire!?

...and, what scoot do you drive past 23,000 miles?

I have a JCL MP-250A. It has been a great scooter.

I can only say the good Lord was watching over me. I think the plastic fused so hard that the opposing wires didn't short out. It smelt like a clutch pad slipping (which I have smelt before) but turned out to be quality Chinese plastic.

Hey, i got a scoot too and i have the same smell (rubber burning near the cvt clutch area) ... did the wire cause anything NOT to work ?
