So my new S8 is in the shop now due to a fender bender collision with a car. Scooter only have cosmetic damage while my body took most of the impact when i bounced and dented the trunk of the hatchback I ended colliding while avoiding a taxi cutting me off. I am fully recovered now and can't wait until my scoot is all fixed up so i can go riding again. The taxi cab that caused the accident of course decided to take off and left me in pain while the guy of the car I ended up crashing into went chasing after him. 
Besides this ordeal...
I have a question about headlight issue.
When the scooter is idling... the light dims and turns on again and dims again, this continues until i start throttling again which is really weird. I've seen some post on this forum regarding when throttling, the light turns off completely but mine is a different issue. I wonder if its a bad battery and or power regulator issue? This does piss people off on the street especially the guy i am stopped behind at a red light. I asked the dealer and he said this is normal?!?!? I don't see how this is normal because if I am driving and a scooter or a bike is doing that behind me while waiting for the light it does get really irritating and rather find it really annoying especially when it looks like someone is playing with the light... I got the dealer to look into it while my S8 is in the shop for the repair but i want to know if any of you have ran into this issue and can give me some insight so I can get the dealer to fix the problem. I am not sure if the light does that while I am riding but I will test that out and hope i did not get a lemon.
Thanks!

Super 8 150 / Re: New tires with pics
« on: June 11, 2013, 03:04:59 AM »
Hmm... i'll be sure to pass the Michelin tire message to a buddy of mine. He took his super 8 out yesterday in the rain and when he had to break, his scooter took a dive along with him on it. Luckily the damage was not big and he has minor bruising. Those stock tires sure do kill when wet...

« on: June 11, 2013, 02:47:13 AM »Thanks Vivo and MotoR for the response!
Hmm I am not sure. It's still under warranty since it is only a week old. Dealer said they are ordering a part to replace it. I am going to take it to the dealer tomorrow to get a few things checked out and I will ask about it. Keep you guys posted on what the issue is. I suspect loose wire connection and just need to be reconnected or seated properly and boom! prob solved. Hope it is that easy.
On another note. Ran into another issue today. Went to get my skills test done today and thank god I passed it. Scoot stalled half way doing my skills test. Lol... scared the shi*t out of me but good thing it's a scooter so I could easily start it while the S8 was gliding on a u-turn. I think its a low throttle issue and can easily be fixed. But to be on the safe side, I'm going to take it in and have it full checked out so I don't run into any issues in the near future.

Super 8 150 / Super 8 150 clock calendar issue
« on: June 08, 2013, 08:34:42 PM »
Hi guys,
I just got my new super 8 150. Everything is awesome and dandy but the only problem is when I hop over a manhole and or a bump. My clock/calendar digital display flashes resets itself and it resets itself every time I hit any bumpy road or bumps. The dealer says he ordered a new part to replace. My question is what may be causing that? I hope its nothing more than the digi display being swapped out.

My super 8 150 blue and it has a metallic silver cover on the exhaust. I recall seeing the gun metal or black exhaust cover. Problem with these exhaust is you probably want to spray some rust resistance coating on it to keep it looking new. Personally I like the gun metal cover look better but no biggy. I will try to post pictures. I also have a SHAD 29 top box for extra cargo.

Super 8 150 / Re: scratches on paint
« on: June 07, 2013, 07:34:21 PM »
Hi guys, i'm new to this site. 
I recommend purchasing Motul Shine and Go for bikes and scooters. It prevents dirt from sticking to your scoot and prevents scratching too. I washed my old scooter and applied it. It even prevent tree sap from sticking hard on the scooter. First thing I did when I got my new Super 8 last night was wash it and sprayed a layer to prevent any scratching to the foot panel area. The only down side to this spray is it does make your foot panel area a bit slippery since its silicone based spray. I've noticed when riding, bugs just simply bounce off the front instead of splatter and harden on the scoot which makes it easy to wipe off.
Sorry I know this is not a solution to remove scratches and paint but its a solution to prevent.
I hope this info can help some of you that are newbs like me.
