Yes it is. I have 2 BMWs but the old left foot has to do the shifting. I'm going crazy with the Reflex....I keep wanting to shift with one foot and brake with the other!! I've been doing this since I was 14 and I'm closing in on 73 now.....old habits are hard to break I guess.

Anyone had the problem? Thanks. Dennis

Thanks for your reply. The weather has been so miserable and rainy here in Houston that I haven't had the Reflex out of the garage all week. The weekend is supposed to be in the low 60s so I'll do some work on the scooter. The tank was drained of old gas and the float bowl dumped and cleaned before I bought the scooter, but I'll have another look. I also want to check the idle speed as it seems a little low. Dennis

Thanks for your reply Bruce. As mentioned in another reply, I've only had the Reflex for a week and the former owner said he had emptied the tank and put in fresh gas. He also dropped the float bowl and drained it. The weather here in Houston has been miserable all week but the weekend is going to be dry and 60s so I'll do some exploring. Will let everyone know what I find. Thanks. Dennis
