    You know it's gonna be real simple!, recheck to make sure all your wiring is connected securely and there all shiny

    A lot of Italian electrics are made by a company called Magneti Marelli and their logo is a double M; most bikers nickname them 'Mickey Mouse' electrics due to their lack of reliability!! :p

    If you want serious jollies, you don't want a scooter. It used to be that the Suzuki RGV125 used to be as much fun as you could have on a 125 without taking your clothes off.

    Go on, lust after this...

    Gordon Bennett, there are some lightweights on here!

    "I can't ride that bike, it makes my hands hurt!"

    Sheesh; it makes you want to weep. Do you people put cushions on your seats to make yourselves comfy and wear hand muffs?

    :p

    Hello dwaine...just had a read of your problem and the most logical thing that jumped out at me was ...foam air filter...rain...I too have an open filter and it runs like a pig in the wet and runs brill in the dry after doing nothing to it apart from running it till the water that's got in the carb has been burnt off with the petrol..won't hurt sticking a yogert pot over the filter or a good water baffle on the rear guard to stop water splashing on the filter and clogging it all up and some getting in upsetting the mixture temperature...tiny bits of water vaporising in the petrol cools down your ignition temperature and thus Muller's your mixture and ignition mix balance..ide give all the electrics a good spray too just to help any water drain aWay before it becomes a proobem...but I think your just sucking in water and not to worry with puling anything apart till you've eliminated it as a possibility...yogert pots are cheap and easy to glue on....
