September 6th
Checked coolant for signs of oil. None present.
Checked oil for signs of water. No obvious sign of water. Drained stock oil and replaced with the proper type of synthetic oil. (Per owner's manual.)
Checked the effect of gunning the throttle while the bike was on the center stand again. I did see what appeared to be smoke or vapor coming from the bubbles- only those that came with the surge when the throttle was given a quick snap- but with all the new smells of the bike I could not tell for certain whether or not this vapor was exhaust fumes or not.
A forum member wrote also that he agreed that the problem was very likely the head gasket. He also suggested biting the bullet and taking the scooter to a more local dealer- one whom I had test driven a Pegasus with prior to purchasing mine elsewhere.
Another member posted that he had an identical issue with an E-Jewel 150, but that the dealer gave him the full amount back towards the purchase of a new one. After 10-some months, he wasn't aware that they had yet fixed his original scooter.
A member, who received his scooter from Dealer3 on the day mine was picked up by Dealer 3, posted that he had a different problem with his current Pegasus, and from his description he was getting the same run-around with non-fixes.
