Charging/Starting problem resolved

[knorrtech]

Hi all just wanted to let you all know that I finally can ride and start the bike up when I park and start it again and the I can also start it in the morning.

Background - I had the post on chinese bike cronicles, there was so many things that we had to do including put an manual gas valve etc.

As mentioned in the post, I was getting ac volts about 12.6-12.9 Found that that just wasn't enough for this bike to start, I had changed the battery, checked wiring, checked for short, checked alternator - rectifier/regulator all was good.

Now I purchased a 12v 10 amp hour (I had a 12 - 7 amp hour)
Now I have about 13.1-13.3 and it starts it up. There is so much that starts when I press the starter, front lights, back light, brake light starter, that it just needed the extra with this heavy battery - (8 pounds)

Bought a 12v 10 am yuassa? for 63.00
1 x YTZ14S BikeBatts AGM Sealed Activated, Maintenance Free battery (YTZ14S BikeBatts AGM Battery) = $54.00 + shipping
from bikebatts.com delivered in 2 days too.

I am sooooo happy about it.

PS - One more thing - I definitly have a sqeek in the front and it is the brake - it happens very very rarely when I go slow and also can replicate while up on the stand and manually turn the wheel slowly. Happens just after I give a quick squeeze on the brake a bit and let go, not while hold a squeeze on the brake though I don't think it is dangerous, but would like to know if anyone know what I should do? or if it is dangerous. Thanks -

Is this a new scoot? How many miles on it?

[knorrtech]

Johtam - Yup, Just got it April 2, it has 220 miles now - I have had many many issues with this and have not been able to do more than test ride. See Chinese scooter cronicles on the 250 forum. I had about 12 or so issues to resolve one by one with the help of this forum, was able to get the bike to the point it is now, pleanty of learning on the way. The dealer - OGM or OG investments on ebay moto_ something and neonbikes never answered calls or supplied parts just promissed. So I learned a lot more than the bike stuff as well.
I have some riding to make up on now !

Disk brakes will squeel. They do on cars, and will on bikes. You can get some anti squeel stuff from the auto shop, but it only lasts for so long. When the time comes to replace the pads, get premium pads and the squeel should disappear.

i had a similiar problem with my 250. all it needed was a new/better battery and it starts every time now. it took me a while to figure out becuse my multi-meter (i just found out) is off.

i also had many problems i chased down 1 by 1, now it's got about 450 chinometers on it and i finally feel safe to reley on the bike. they are awesome toys when they work properly.
