There is a "terminal" block under the handlebar cowl. I'd bet there was a loose connection there. Most probably a ground wire. John in Seattle '86 CH250 ...
Last night after I left work at 10:45 in my wife's car and was following a truck in the left lane of a 4 lane road and decided to go around him. When I was...
I think a good solution to better rear visibility from the rear is an add-on array of 3 LED light clusters consisting of a center unit with 30 LED's units and...
Bob said "Use ONLY the left lane for passing!!" That is very funny you should say that, Over the last 5 years it seems that the left lane turned into the lane...
Doug, A good solution is good riding gear and extra lights. Both of my riding jackets have reflective strips on them. A reflective vest (the kind the road...
I just returned from a high speed scoot and I noticed that my exhaust was smoking. I felt my tire and it was really hot, so was my rim and the brake drum. Is...
All the heat generated is concentrated in a small area and YES, things get hot. If the brakes are not dragging, and the carburetor is tuned...
The rear tire air pressure was low (22lbs) I filled it to 35. I also backed off a couple of turns on the rear brake cable but evertything still seems to be...
Normal tire temps 140-180 degrees F. Normal Brake hub temps up to 400 degrees F. The rim temp would be a blend of the two. Yes, it's hot ...
Hi Randy, Still have not gotten around to fixing the air cut off valve. Was hoping someone for this forum would send me one to try. ...

There is a heat shield screwed on to the muffler pipe right up where it attaches to the cylinder head near the tire. Maybe yours is missing? ... the ... temps...
There have been a few in the group that have used malossi drive train parts intended for the CN250 on their CH250's and it has worked. This included both drive...
I'm seeing a lot more newbies, period. More and more Chinese scoots, as well as shiny, new $6000 Vespas from the shop at the beach, with people zipping along...
Hi I Agree about the security issues! Here in the EU it is illigal to ride without a helmet and good covering clothes. On the Chinese scoot front I have fond...
Thanks for that reply it gives me that little extra confidence to order online ;-) Shall keep you posted, but first I need to sort out a couple of little...
Exhaust gas temperature is about 1310 degrees. The pavement where I live easily hits 160 degrees. Brakes on race cars routinely glow red so there is a lot of...
I don't see any reason why a larger bore would suddenly make your "Elite 300" illegal for road use. Might cause some other problems (cooling, etc), but should...
