I have a Givi V46 on my '01 reflex with matching top. Looks like made for the Reflex and color matches perfectly. Large enough to hold my Booq BOA CASE L briefcase or 2 helmets. Although pricier than some alternatives it turns heads so was worth the extra investment for me.

I had to use a bit of creativity and shimming (about 6 minutes and one Miller Lite's worth) to secure the mount to the luggage wing (I do not have a Sport Reflex, but, if I recall, there was plenty of hardware in the kit to mount the baseplate to a tubular rail/rack) and I bought a bit of weatherstripping to stop a tiny lid rattle, but it holds my XL helmet and any riding jacket I own, or a load of groceries that you wouuldn't believe. the link

Tim, what happene to your basket? You spent several years knocking others who got GIVI's and all, bragging that your basket carried far more then any top case could do! It's great to see that you have discovered "outside" your box!! Have another great day!!!

2a.: Stalling out.

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem now with my 2003 Reflex stalling out. I have replaced the fuel filter, added sea foam to the gas and cleaned the spark plug. My scooter will not start normally. I have to give it gas to get it started and then keep the throttle going or it stalls out. Even when it is warm I have keep the throttle on. Got the manual out and it tell me I might have to clean the carb. I sure hope not. Also, something about the SE Thermal Valve. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thx bob

Has the seafoam worked its way through yet?

This happen all of a sudden? Did the scooter sit up for a while without
being used?

Because it persists both warm and cold, it is unlikely to be the SE (Starting Enrichment) valve.

It absolutely sound like a fuel system problem.
Unfortunately it sounds like water in the fuel.

I suggest that you try draining the carb into a glass container, allow the contents to stand for a while - if there is water, you will see two layers of fluid through the glass container - the bottom one being water. See the write-up on fuel tank replacement in the FILES section for great photos on where stuff is in the fuel system There is a brass "screw valve" at the bottom of the carb's float bowl - back it out and the contents will run out the adjacent plastic tube (which should be routed into a glass container for observation.

If there is water in the fuel, check the inside of the gas tank carefully for rust (same article in the FILES section). The electric fuel pump will draw almost everything out of the fuel tank - the rest can be removed with a turkey baster and a hose attached to it.

Please post back with your findings so that we all can benefit from your work.

Hope that helps

It first sat for six months during the summer. I took it apart and sprayed the carb through the air intake and got it running good. Then I went home for the holiday's and ran some sea foam through the gas and left it for a month. Just came back and it started but now it stalls out.

Hi Bruce,
You helped me before when I thought I had rust in the tank. I replaced the fuel filter then and drained all the gas out and there was no rust. I added Sea Foam to the gas and the scooter ran great. I then left Flordia and went up north for the holiday's for a month. I came back and the scooter started but I had to give it gas to to so. It ran for about 5 min and then stalled out. It now runs rough and stalls out. Did I do something wrong by giving it gas to start it? I have two of these scooters (one I keep up north a 2004) and I never have to give it gas to start it. I hope I don't have to take the carb apart because I am not qualified to do so. It looks like it might be headed back to the shop. Thanks for your help.

Bob
