hi all,many thanks to you all for the advice on keeping my lil scoot running. unfortunatly she died on the way to work yesterday(sob).still runs but wont charge.however this gave me the exscuse to blow my wages on another scoot.i am now the PROUD owner of a runner 125 fx.god does she fly.i just wondered if there are any common faults with these?so far i have noticed temp gauge not working.any advice would be good.special thanks to "minorconfusion" cheers, ian p.s anyone want to buy a typhoon that wont charge? lol

runner 125 fx

forgot to add also got a suzuki an125 with transmission maladies.bought it new belt and rollers then somehow brother balls up the fitting! this was bought as a quik fix to get me to previous job.i really hate this scooter.its slow,its heavy,the wheels are to small,if it wouldnt make such a mess i would love to batter the crap out of it with a sledgehammer.the other bike is a 1975! suzuki a100 with blown rotary valve.this i loved but it didnt last long(another e_bay bargain). still i dont care now i have my runner. cheers, ian
