    Hi, this is probably a very old question and one that i have yet to get my head around!!! I checked my oil today, by resting the dipstick in the hole and taking a reading, it was just about up to the three quarter line, i have had so many mixed responses on how to check the level. This is what an online manual says to do to check my Yamaha Majesty. ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION 1. Stand the scooter on a level surface. Make sure the scooter is upright when inspecting the oil level. 2. Start the engine and let it warm up for a few minutes. 3. Turn off the engine. 4. Inspect:

    Hi, new to forum, and as i have a yamaha i thought i would give it a go. I have owned many bikes in the past, mostly yamaha's, but now me and the missus are starting a family, and i was not allowed to get another big bike but she gave in and let me have a scooter (cheap, less chance of me killing myself, etc etc). I finally found a nice clean tidy example Majesty 250 S reg for £700, goes like stink (not like my R1 used to) and she likes going on the back for a change!! Ok, finally down to my question. I am a bit of a gadget freak and a letter dropped on my door step from the old bill, stating that a lot of scooters below 400cc are high risk items being stolen on our estate, they recommend keeping it in a garage when not using it, (which i do) but fit an alarm!! Well i brought one for £30 off ebay, a Cyclone V2 talking one ( i know sad!!! ) it said on the website to tell them what bike it was so they could send a specific wiring diagram, which i got but was quite frankly, crap!! I need to find all the indicator wires to connect to so the they flash, and also a good mounting point for the alarm, i have looked at the fairing and it looks a scary propostion trying to get it off!!!! Anyone's help appreciated!! Andy
