My scooter has lost power when pulling away

My 125cc mojioto seems to be holding back when i take of its also make a grinding sound when im going slowly , I thought it had something to to the the petrol i have only been putting premium unleaded from caltex in ,when i change to bp it seemed to stop for a little and the power of the bike seemed to increase , it is now do the same thing as befor it is only 6 month old ,I was told maybe the carbarator needs to be cleaned ok can any one help me wiht this problem? My 6 month old Mojito 125 seems to have lost it's mojo. After getting a soaking on Tuesday, I noticed a lack of power particularly when pulling away. On my way home last night, the cyclists were getting away from the traffic lights before me and when I had an uphill start the acceleration was terrible. I noticed the engine sounds a little muffled too. No problem at higher speeds though. Any advice would be warmly received.

    assuming this is four stroke, check your oil.

    gas should not make a grinding sound. Can you be more specific as to where the sound is coming from?

    when did the problem start and when did you last ride prior to that time?

SOURCE: seems to be hold back and making slght crunching noise

If you are experiencing grinding noises and a power loss, I would look more to the power train and related components. Transmission, wheel bearing, brakes hanging.

With the engine off, I would push the bike slowly to determine if you are able to detect a grinding noise and if there is any resistence when pushing it.

Is my X8 2006 restricted? And how can I take the restricted off ? It will go to 60mph but wants to go more

Most 125cc scooters are restricted to between 60 and 70 mph often because of certain laws in each country they are sold in. These 'Twist and Go' automatics alway sound like they want to go faster but the transmission needs to rev that high to work properly.
It is possible to de-restrict your scooter but the top speed you would get would not be a lot higher, maybe 10 to 15 mph more.
Scooters also use much smaller wheels compared to a motorbike which makes the scooter less stable at higher speeds. Mine starts to shake and vibrate when it hits it's top speed of 70mph. To get much higher speeds you would need to spend a lot of money changing gearing ratios roller weights or even swapping complete transmissions. One option if you want to keep at the 125cc size is to change to a bike with a manual transmission like the bigger motorbikes. Some of these bikes can get closer to 100mph but most 125cc bikes and scooters all tend to max out at 70mph. At higher speeds the manuals don't sound like they are working as hard as a scooter does.

Hi i have a 125cc scooter and when i am doing a steady 30mph it drops in power as if i have let go of the throttle then it regains power cleaned carb also i am having problems starting it on a morning it...

There maybe an issue with fuel flow/delivery. Check the operation of the fuel tap and connecting hose. Has the fuel filter been serviced/replaced? Carburetor float level may not be set correctly, jets maybe dirty and blocked, these are all simple fixes if you are handy with some tools. Otherwise a relatively cheap fix by a dealer or more knowledge on the year/make/model of your scooter. Cheers.

Mongoose Pro Scooter will not go

you can have the battery tested for its voltage with an voltage meter and see if it is giving enough output for its purpose, but from the sounds of what you are saying it seems the battery isnt holding enough to power the scooter

Problem with running of scooter

Sounds like it is running too lean. Look for an air leak around the carburettor manifold.
