Just bought a 2005 Eton Beamer Matrix II a week ago and drove it home (20 miles) and it topped out at about 40 mph.
Last night I decided to start it and it was not a good idea for how cold it was in retrospect because the throttle stuck really bad. I decided to wait til noon ish the next day to see how it felt when it was at least 40 degrees out. So... the throttle felt fine. I took it out for a short ride and it didn't make it up to 40 mph. I wonder if I stretched the throttle cable the night before? Or maybe I'm being paranoid and the wind was against me. I'll test it out on another warm day. Any thoughts?

Probably just the wind. Did you try going in opposite directions and seeing if you get the speed back the other way?
Also is this a 2t or 4t bike? If it's a 4t it could definitely be time to adjust the valves and if it's got a few thousand miles on it it might need some transmission maintenance like a new belt and new CVT weights. |

Hi, thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately it snowed quite a bit last night so there won't be any riding for a while. I have to learn before I can do any of that maintenance, I know nothing about mechanics. Never got the 101 on any of it so I gotta do that somehow if I only knew where to go.. ![]()

How often are you suppost to change the weights on these scoots? I have a little under 10k km on mine and have never changed them I just changed my belt but it wasn't even cracked I jus didn't want it to explode like I have seen pictures of.

I don't mind at all Rhompin. I wish I could answer your question. So you have an Eton just like mine with 10k? Nice!

Still getting snow and haven't had a chance to ride it again to see if it will get back up to 40 or not.

The scooter is doing great! Cold weather and scooters just don't mix I guess.
