I copied and pasted the text that I put in the discussion forum which was probably too lengthy for that forum. Here it is again.

 
  It looks to me that there has only been a few questions/comments about this bike and probably no one will even see this...but here goes.

It looks to me that there has only been a few questions/comments about this bike and probably no one will even see this...but here goes.

I have read some horror stories, (many items missing or broken, no contact info, damaged scooter, unsafe to ride, etc.) about buying scooters, especially the big ones, on line from a couple of companies that don´t sell what they advertise and my heart bleeds for these people. I did not buy this scooter on-line and lately I have had some regrets about buying anything on-line.

I bought my XY260T-4 last September from a reputable dealer here in town. They sell/service all scooters and I have had nothing but happy and very satisfied dealings with scootersetc.com. I gave this scooter an 8.5 overall. The only problem/annoyance with this bike is a squeak that goes away with a little tightening and lube...for a while. Other then that and adjustments to the choke (had problems starting if it sits for more then 3 or 4 days)the 260 is an excellant bike. Although, I only have 750 miles on it. Hopefully it will continue to operate at exceptional levels.

Question: Now this probably goes in the discussion category...LOL, and I´m really showing my ignorance here...anyway; Why does this scooter have a carburator instead of it having fuel injection¿ This carb reminds me of the carbs in many of my older model cars I have had in the past. Difficulty choking, stalls when cold, doesn´t choke properly until it´s slightly warmed up...maybe fuel injection only works in multi cylinder engines¿¿¿¿ Fuel injection is more expensive, Thinking out loud here, thanks for any imput.
