Maybe a bent rim or a bulge in the tire.

Put the scooter on the stand and give it some throttle then go and watch the rear wheel to see if its bent or have someone else do the throttle work while you check the rear wheel.

thats what i was thinking, but if it was that it seems like he would feel it riding.
But he said he only notices it when turning. Still something he should check.

nah.... i know it's not the rear wheel, just happens when i take a turn pretty fast. i'll start to notice the rear suspension acting like it's bottoming out. i just ordered a rear suspension from quik fix and think that should help out.

ho.. bra this is sh*8! lol i mean, man the difference this is like night and day!! the stock shock was too soft... but with this one you can adjust the height by clicking it up i think mine is up by two clicks if i remember, i think later on tonight i'll be lowering it down by a click.. the ride is stable now on turns... oh i figured out why back tire kinda spins on turns i had some oil and gas from my carb... or oil from my trans we just filled it the other night. i give this item a 10! a ****** 10! lol
