Grandvista 250 / Re: Set up my Grand Vista with touring seat and new tires.
« on: June 26, 2011, 11:20:28 PM »
Like your husband, I also have a BMW motorcycle (K1200LT), but I also have a 2009 GV that is soooo much fun to ride.  I use it commute back and forth to work in Atlanta.  It is quick off the line and will keep up with all traffic except when I'm on the interstate.  I bought the scoot in Alabama and rode it back to Atlanta (about 140 miles).  To be honest, I can't imagine riding 400 miles a day on a 250cc scooter.  I'm not saying it can't be done, but the stock seat and riding position are such that numerous rest stops would be in order.  Plus, I assume you would be at or near full throttle the entire ride to keep up with your husband.  you can expect a range of 120 or so miles between fill ups.  I'd be curious to hear how it goes.

Good luck and congratulations on a great purchase!

General Discussion / Bleeding linked brakes; 2009 GV
« on: June 16, 2011, 12:21:36 AM »
Just performed some routine maintenance (oil, final drive, etc.) and was about to bleed and re-fill the brake system when it hit me that the left brake lever operates both front and rear brakes.  Are there special instructions on how to bleed this linked braking system? 

thanks

was the ram reservoir cover a generic or custom version?  The brake reservoir on the GV looks tiny compared to the clutch/brake reservoir on my BMW K1200LT.  I have the same set up on my motorcycle and I'm guessing the adjustable mounting holes on the cover would work on the smaller GV reservoir.  How does it look?  can you post a pic? 

thanks

Just got a great deal on a 2009 White GV with 697 miles.  Rode it back from Atlanta from Alabama and had a blast!  The scooter came with a color match Givi Top Case and Tall Windshield.  All this for only $1750.00!   This is my second Kymco Scooter and I like the smaller wheels opposed to the larger wheels on my people 250.   I bought it to commute to and from work.  Trying to manuever a 900lb. BMW K1200LT in city traffic is short on the fun scale.

Just one question...Is there any way to remove the plexiglass cover to the instrument cluster?  Mine looks like there is a finger print on the inside of the plexiglass.

thanks
