Well, another day above 45F, so I took the scooter out for a run. Starting was difficult as expected. The engine would start, but immediately die within less than 1 second. I guess it did this about 8-10 times before it finally caught at which point it stumbled for a few seconds and then came to life. From that point on it was pretty much OK.

If you do start up your scooter, make sure to take it out for a ride of at least 5-10 miles to make sure everything comes up to full operating temperature. If you just start it and run it for a few minutes, you may not get everything hot and that may result in water being formed and condensing in the engine or exhaust, which can lead to corrosion.

I though this was pretty entertaining, and it shows what you can do with a scooter or small motorcycle. I don’t think their helmets were DOT approved though!
