Just cause your horm works it dont mean your battery is healthy. Check the battery voltage when you try to start the bike.

Mr. Tibbs hits the nail on the head when it comes to what happens if you help the environment.

sounds like the battery needs charging / replacing
if it's 12 volts, jump it off a car.

Without Visordown we are as shakey as .... as a fiddler ... on the roof!

very much sounds like battery is just dead, try connecting it to another battery/your car (Just make sure it is 12v not 6v) with jump leads?

2 stroke - because one stroke isn't enough and four strokes waste two

V.man it sounds like your power bands aren't aligned properly. Any idea what colour they are?

Depends what colour the power band is, I think the ones with red powerbands don't have them. It might be about to snap, if it does your top end will need all the pistons replaced. Phone your local bike shop & ask how much to check if the powerband is going to snap. It might be worth replacing it with a pink powerband as they are stronger and give better power.

the pnk powerbands also increase this new breed of scooter by 7 - 9 bhp at the wheel effectively producing the power of a 250cc machine instantly and at approx £59 fitted its a worthy investment, albeit the yellow 'anaban' make are prone to slippage.

Everybody knows the yellow ones give more power

Follow that ^ process, then see about getting your powerbands upgraded. Your dealer should be able to help you out
