Scooterotica

Have you had anyone else ride it to confirm your thoughts?

imo don't sell. Many of us have got pissed of and sold only for someone else to buy and have running perfect. What I do now is put it away cover it up till I stop hating it. This can take a few weeks/months. Then I will go back to it and start again.

Sounds like To ureters Syndrome to me !

When did this turn into a urology forum?

You're taking the p!$$

As said above get someone else to ride it , is the tyre pressure correct? Not all Indian Scoots are shite in fact far from it. A
So try not to buy cheap parts, you'll get what you pay. Let us know how you get on?

If there's something wrong and you can't diagnose it using logic, then just take it to bits and put it back together as well as you can using the best parts you can afford.

ANYTHING can be fixed.

If you just want a good bike, buy a Honda.

I made the mistake on one of me bikes of buying and fitting a fork rebulild kit from ebay cost about 30bob so you can imagine the quality of it , after a couple of hundred miles it was all over the road so i stripped the forks down again and checked the components ..i could compress the springs with me hands the rods were like tinfoil and the bearings were as round as a lemon lol should have checked it thoroughly before i fitted it ...think it may have indirectly lead to me having to replace my mounts aswell ....

Yes, but I'm presuming that was back in the 90's when they were okay. They're now of a waxy compound and really quite nasty. I'm not saying that's your only problem, as said get someone else to ride it and gauge their feelings, but don't discount the tyres altogether.

Loose rear shocker? Tyres inflated correctly?

Yes agree with Juan mate, the new s1 tyres are not good at all, back in the 90's I would be hairing around on them and scraping my selector box.
Now wouldn't fit them to a wheel barrow!!!
Easy things first , get a set of new tyres and try them before you discount them
