Therapist Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Seems a bit of a coincidence that you hit a problem just after its been serviced. I'd take it back to the garage that did the service and get them to look at it. I had abreakdown after a service once. Took it back to the garage and they sorted it free of charge. Never told me what was wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Brakes binding on? They'll be damnably hot after going out for a run if this is happening, so don't touch the discs/drums - you should be able to feel radiant heat. Or an incorrect fuel/air mixture. Manky air filter or (eek) punctured carburettor diaphragm or just manky carbs. Or probably any of a zillion other things I can't think of at the moment.

Wouldn't have thought this would be your problem. I would imagine with it being a 125 it will only have 1 spark plug, meaning if the cable wasn't on, the scooter would't even start. I would agree with above that the best bet would be to take it back and let them sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the connection to the spark plug had gone, it wouldn't run at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
