Grandvista 250 / Re: Great to have a Grand Vista Board

Hokay. Just had the Leo Vince pipe put on. Only had time for one short ride. Difference is not as dramatic as changing tires, BUT: At idle sounds about the same. Off idle and up instead of that scootery reving sound, now it's a deeper 'growly' sound. Pipe must free up torque because scoot pulls strong from just over idle to about 50 (56 indicated). Didn' have time / space to go faster. I rarely need to. Engine seems to hook up earlier, bite stronger and doesn't sound as labored as before. Totally worth the $$$ in my opinion - especially because I thought I was interested in moving to a larger cc scoot. I saved over 5K!. Only downside(s) to GV 250 = seat is still hard (but softer than when new), legroom - I came from a Helix so maybe I'm spoiled. I'll let this board know how it goes...

I've had mine for just over two years. The most amazing change you can make is to replace the awful OEM tires with Maxxis or other high performance tire. You won't believe your riding the same scoot. After two years the seat has started to soften up - or my butt is getting number. A fast easy no-cost mod is to remove the snorkel hose where it goes into the air box. I feel like my pick up is faster and throttle response quicker. I ordered a Leo Vince pipe and it should be here tomorrow. Don't know when I'll get time to put it on. I will report back then. In the meantime - DO IT!
