I believe finally solved this issue. My theory of what was happening is that I replaced the Shock Absorber (BITUBO REAR (PAIR) SHOCK,) Today I found a slight difference between the two spring pre-loads, so when the Scooter came off from the center it might have active a safety feature on the scooter that cut off the engine. This was not happening when I started it from the side stand, since the springs were already loaded. !!!Tonight I am going to Sleep well!
