Have a 2002 Met 2 with 1400 miles on it...
The restrictor plate was removed and i re-jetted with larger jet..
Anyway that was years ago...
Now my current dilemma...
Was stored poorly for over a year. You got it muck gas and all. Didn't even bother trying to start it before removing all the old gas and cleaning the carb.
Put it back together...now it doesn't start unless I spray starting fluid into the intake. Then it runs long enough to burn out the ether and dies. The carb is getting gas...put a new gapped spark plug in...Tore the carb out again and gave it another cleaning...soaked the jets in B12 for a couple of days...the carb is truly clean.
Put back in the scooter and same results...
What am I missing here?

I just bought a 2010 Honda Elite. My GF, who the bike is really for, weighs in at about 100 lbs. She is having great difficulty getting the scoot onto the center stand. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this easier for her? Reduce tension, side stand, etc??

Thanks!

I have a 2006 Met. There is a chaffing/rubbing sound that can be heard at the rear tire and after removing the drive belt cover. I have checked for all possible points of rubbing. Found nothing. The sound is present with or without the tire being mounted. It interferes with the rear tire spinning freely. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the sound?

Started up a local Meetup page, check it out and join up. It's free and a great way to organize ourselves for rides.

Here is a pic showing the before and then the after. I worked on this scoot all winter long, she wanted a color change so I made it so. I did some video's on this also see my YouTube account if interested. Lorddarthvader1701 is my YouTube channel.

Can u use a lawnmower filter as replacement? Configuration different line enters top of filter goes out bottom Honda filter line enters top goes out side if bottom..... Is there another place to purchase fuel filter? Not any where I live

so, i live in VA which does not require me to plate/register/insure my metro. we have it insured for theft purposes. anyways, i was wondering if i rode into West Virginia, could i be ticketed? as far as i know, WV requires plates for mopeds/motorcycle license. where i'm going i will probably never get "caught" cause i'm only in WV for a mile, but i'm still worried about the potential.

i'm just not quite sure what the outcome would be. anyone know from experience? thanks.

Hi Guys,
I have had (3) 02 Met 1's and two of them eventually got harder and harder to start. Once
warmed up they both ran and idled fine. Both bikes never sat for more than a week without
being run. I pulled the carb on one and soaked it and blew it out cleaned the jets, diaphragm looked good
and still came up with the same issue. If you were going to make a checklist of the most likely culprits
in order, what would they be? I have searched the site and have come up with a lot of great info
but I wanted to cut down on my guesswork. My gut tells me it's not trash in the carb since they both
ran well when warmed up. Thanks
