I'm UK-based too Steve and whilst in general I agree it's against the law, Highway Code rule 116 states:

"Hazard warning lights. These may be used when your vehicle is stationary, to warn that it is temporarily obstructing traffic. Never use them as an excuse for dangerous or illegal parking. You MUST NOT use hazard warning lights while driving or being towed unless you are on a motorway or unrestricted dual carriageway and you need to warn drivers behind you of a hazard or obstruction ahead. Only use them for long enough to ensure that your warning has been observed."

One other instance where I routinely use then whilst moving, and which I think only a pedantic cop would book you for, is those frequent occasions where I meet a horse and rider on twisty country lanes.  Once (slowly) past the rider I always give oncoming motorists a quick flash of the hazards to warn them of the impending hazard.

Yeah, I agree on that - we have deer wandering across the roads around here especially early evenings and sometimes ducks crossing by the village pond so I'll do it as well.

Given the handguards not being suitable for handlebar mitts I opted for heated grips.

They're not offered as an official option in the UK (nor the Noodoe dash either - grrr) so I bought some cheap Oxford ones and had the dealer fit them. He didn't grumble and I didn't ask, so I don't know if he had any bother.

Pretty standard fare I guess Steve.  I got a Shad 37L fitted before I collected the bike, mirror extenders after a few months and when it goes in for it's 6 month service they're fitting me heated grips.  Think I'll stick with the standard fly screen as I like the look of it and don't mind the wind blast.

In a bit of a quandary for replacement tyres when the rear wears out as I can't get the OEM CSTs anywhere here.  Have you had to make this decision yet and if so, what did you go with?

Regarding tyres, no not yet. I will before too long though as I was told at the service that they're getting a bit low on tread. Will report back once I've looked into it

I do. Had my orange one for a year and just had the annual service.
What would you like to know?

Thanks, new CR2450 in the fob, works like new, can't believe they go dead that fast, I will have to keep my spare with the battery removed, I might also keep a spare battery in one of the glove boxes

My X360, now 9 months old, has the same set-up - no way to turn the fob off and there is the same glovebox marking.  So thanks all for the advice and hopefully I'll be ready when the current one dies.

Keep in mind, the younger generation, does not know who Monty Python is.

Hi, first post here. 

I have a DT X360 320cc in orange.  It's my second Kymco, the first being a Kawasaki J300 SE 

I'm on 2500miles on mine and loving it.  Powerful, comfortable, good storage.  Downsides for me are that the UK spec lacks Noodoe and so the dashboard, while clear, is really lacking in info and modern tech: shame.  Also, after a 2017 Xmax 300 and then a 2020 Forza 300 I am disappointed with the fuel consumption.  I am only getting around 80mpg whereas the Forza was high-80s and the frankly incredible engine in the Xmax 95mpg+.  On the other hand, the X360 is doing better than the J300 did (76mpg) but then that was nearly 10 years ago. 

Still, overall I rate the X360 better than the Forza as that was dull and lower-powered and the Xmax with very poor rear suspension and dangerous headlights.  I do miss my J300 though as that was both gorgeous IMHO and such a fun machine to ride.
