zip r3i hard to start unless on center stand

[tvwbug]

my scoot is hard to start if on the kick stand, but if its on the center stand it will start right up. what would cause this? also i seem to be getting about 40 miles per tank, what would be normal? i only have 325 miles on it so far. also how can i tell if it is restricted?

My Zip was not restricted. what speeds are you hitting?

This may sound silly, but loosen up your back brakes a bit and see if it starts any easier.

hummm 40miles to the tank doesnt sound right maybe if it was modified with all the parts but stock atleast 80mpg would seem closer to what it should be.

There may be a Device on Your Kick-Stand that may be Restricting Starter

Sometimes Scooter Manafactures Don't want YOU to Start Them Onless there on the Stand, Something about It Causing Damage...

no problems with rear brakes, its like if i lean the bike to the right or straight up it starts fine, when its leaning to the left it stalls when cold. 43 mph on a straight, but im curious if its restricted. its using way too much gas though.

i alway put my scooter on the center stand to start it
