BG if you been feeding the scoot gashol then you cannot leave it standing for long periods of time.
If you do intend to do so again in the future.
Suggest you run it till empty, then refill with regular gas. Run for another 5 to 10 minutes to get the reg fuel into the injection system.
Park it up.
Go for a smoke.
Come back in a coupla months, she start fine.

^ got the same prob woth the nouvo + gasohol. Starts and runs like crap until ridding 5 km at least.

I got that too if i dont use it for say 4-5 days. Then I got to focus on starting it, get only one shot, or gotta use the kick start.

Never put gasahol in it, and I know better than to leave it with fuel in the carb, but I can't find a shut off cock on the prick,
Up at the cabin in end of sept. I would get the sleds out and start em up, be full of gas all summer with an additive stabilizer in the fuel, all I have to do is take out the plugs and spin it over a few times to blow the oil out and then a new set of plugs and they would fire right up., then after about a foot of snow I would stabilize the gas in the ATV and Big Red and run em 10 minutes and then choke em to death with a shot of storage oil in the intake til it quit.
Then start a reverse process in april and reverse it.
But I also had a Cushman Trackster and I ran that bastard in dry, mud or 25 feet of snow. but it was a rough slow ride when I had a competition Ski Doo that would hit 100 easy enough.

Trackster hold 5 people and tow the cargo sled behind, but it was also a 2 stroke hydrostatic drive but short tracks and rough over the snow when it was getting lumpy and hard packed on the 10 miles from the cabin to the end of pavement where we parked our 4X4's

125 kms per tank, is that good or bad?

My blade is thirsty.
Keeps the family from using it.
17000 click half of it off road. No probs.
The Yamaha looks gay.

The Nouvo I rented did about the same mileage or maybe slightly better but that would be with the engine well run in.

Got about 140km, full speed, on the highway. I dont know how much inside the city.

Our airblade has done over 20 thousands ks with hardly a service and not a problem.
Good underseat storage but no where on the front to store a water bottle.
Wife wants a new click for her birthday so the blade will be all mine.

Are you confused, or is it just me?

This thread is old. Who brought it back?
