3) If you have, did you remove all of the body panels? This is necessary to gain access to all of the wiring connectors, chassis grounds, etc. Sometimes the connectors are not fully snapped together from the factory. Check battery cable ends for tightness (both ends of ground, and positive cables).
4) Why are you putting performance parts on a new scooter? They are unnecessary.....I just started the 5th season with my Chinese scoot, have had zero breakdowns, now at 9500 miles, still has the factory CDI, coil with plug wire, and spark plug......and is still averaging 87 mpg.

Your scooter is showing the classic symtoms of an improperly prepared one. Without a good PDI.....your problems will be non stop.... one after the other.

And yes, I did an pretty good PDI, and everything look fine before I made any upgrades.
