It has 32,227 miles on it as of this morning. Bought it with 30,378. It is a non ABS bike, which from what I've read is a good thing based on it being a Gen 1. It's been a great bike so far! The only issue I've had with it is the heat when riding in 100+ degree weather.
Regarding the pipes, I'm not sure. They sound great so I haven't really tthought much about them. I'll have to look at them as soon as I get home and try to get a brand.
Do you know if the two piece windscreen is stick? I was looking at replacing it but haven't seen anything like it in my searches. It's fogged due to the years and makes seeing through it a challenge when I have it fully raised.
Regarding the ABS vs Non-ABS.
The Gen 1 Non-ABS scooters came from the factory with Blue plugs in the front calipers. The brake lines on the non-ABS scooters run directly from the master cylinder to the brake calipers. The brakes are not linked.
The Gen 1 ABS scooters (2004 - 2005) came with Silver plugs in the front calipers and had a decal on both sides of the front fender saying ABS.
The ABS scooters also had a toothed ABS ring on the left side of the front wheel (and right side of the rear wheel) with a black cover plate / spacer with an ABS pickup sensor. The front ABS plumbing ran from the master cylinder to the ABS pump on the right side of the scooter then ran back to the front calipers. The brakes are not linked.
From the photos it appears that your scooter IS an ABS model.
Considering the age of the scooter and the aforementioned known Gen 1 ABS pump propensity for failure (especially the rear circuit) there is the possibility that the ABS pump may have failed, and the PO may have removed the ABS pump and done some re-plumbing of the brake lines. Or PO may have left the pump in place and removed the ABS decals on the front fender and just told you it was non-ABS. Or some other variation of modifications to conceal the ABS not working. The ABS pump is / was located on the right side of the scooter behind the side cover below the seat.
Something like that would leave the scooter functionally the same as a non-ABS scooter.
In Other News!!
Someone will be along soon to remind you to check the CCT for a paint dot and if none found, to be replacing that immediately. If there is no record of a previous valve clearance check both of those projects are best accomplished at the same time. Thats also a golden opportunity for a spark plug change, cooling system flush / refill and throttle body sync, then slam the hood shut for another 30,000 miles.
Oh yeah, welcome to the neighborhood.
You might place your location and your scooter year and model in your profile. It helps us help you better in the future.
