The issue: My scooter bogs out and has a horrible flat spot between slghtly open throttle and fully open. Things I've done: I have tried both the original (clean) air filter and an aftermarket cone filter, happens with both. I have recently renewed the exhaust baffle (to get through MOT). Fresh fuel and oil checked. Question: Does anyone have an ideas what could be causing the issue?
Clean the carb thoroughly and rejet it, with the standard airbox fitted. Question: How did you manage to change the exhaust baffle?????
cleaning the carb is a good shout, it could well have some crud in it from the packaging or something like that i suppose. the exhaust baffle was actually pretty simple. three bolts hold the silencer onto the exhaust pipe. once removed you can take the end off and pull the baffle out of the silencer. wrap the new material around the tube and push back into the housing. refit to scooter, job done!
Ah, you have one of those end cans; like the Leo Vince TT's. It's not the baffle you changed, it's the wadding
