First of all, I love my scooter and when it (rarely) works, I'm in heaven. I just love the freedom of the ride. PROBLEM: My scooter will not stay on. I will go half a block and it will turn off -- how frustrating. From day one, I've only had problems with the bike but when it works I just love to ride. Can anyone help me? I'm a girl so I don't have any idea what to do to correct the problem. I spent $3,500 in 2005 on the bike and I haven't nearly gotten my monies worth out of it. Someone please help/advise. Thanks much.

I'm not sure which thread to use. I'm new to all this stuff and just want to get my scooter running. Which thread do you recommend I use?

the veronia has a number of issues known to us TNG dealers.
the biggest issue is the cooling system and lubrication system
exchanging fluids , which is bad news.
has it boiled over or does the red cooling light come on?
can you see the cooling fluid level?
is it between the marks?
can you hear the fan turning on and off?

Yes to everything you listed, Harry. The bike is a pleasure to ride but an ongoing disappointment to me. I dread spring because I know the bike is going to upset. What can I do?

you said yes on this;
has it boiled over or does the red cooling light come on?

the green cooling light should be on all the time the scooter is running .
boiling over is bad and you will need to add some 50/50 premixed anti freeze (peak brand).
you will have to get any air trapped in the cooling system out or the scooter will
over heat and the anti freeze will come out again.

that motor will dissolve from the inside if you use regular anti freeze and you should
flush the coolant system the same as you would your car's radiator.
