When you are riding a piston can expand and cause a ‘soft seize”, Once the piston cools off, it contracts and the bike will start and run again (if you are lucky).

What premix ratio are you running? should be 50:1 or 2.5 ozs of a good 2 stroke oil to 1 gal of gas. Mix it in a container, then pour it in the Ciao.

What plug are you using? Should be a NGK B5HS

Do a plug chop after a 10 minute ride. The plug tip should be a golden toasty tan.

If you are going down hills don’t back off on the throttle, you need that gas/oil mix to lube the engine.
