Several questions

[mrmike]

 I bought my GTI300 this week but haven't picked it up yet. I don't have a service manual yet either. I do have several questions regarding my new scoot.

         1. Can the 12 volt accessory plug under the seat be used for my GPS and my battery tender? I put one on my People 150 and was advised to put a fuse in
             the line. Does the GTI300 have this and can you use it as is?
         2. Does the odometer read in mph or kilometers? How accurate is the speedometer?

         3. What is the speed rating of the stock tires?

         4. Are the rollers in the variator the same on all the 2012 models and if they are does anyone know what size and weight they are?

         5. Does anyone know a site where I can download a service manual to a disc or thumbdrive for the GTI300?

         6. Does anyone know the torque specs for the oil filter cover bolts  and the drain bolts for crankcase and transmission?

your GPS should be OK ,. but the battery tender should be hooked directly to the battery with a fuse on the plus ( red wire) side ,. I used # 10 wire on my 300i DT.  or the same size wire as your charger,.then you can use the plug for heated gloves or any thing ,. tire pump, etc.

 on your tires look up the name , size  and look up the tire it will tell you the rating , mine are pirellis good for 116 miles per hour,                                                                   your mph or km. are switchable, as mine are on the downtown,. how tight your nuts are it should be in your manual,. I just tighten mine hand tight, same as car oil drain nut, and get a spare compression washer for oil plug

I just looked up the tire size 110/70  16  speed rating is 118 mph   50 T  and 140/70  16  is 112 mph, 65 s this is for kymco tires at monster scooter supply,.

Here's some torque's from my Yager manual. (I haven't seen a manual for the 300i yet);

My speedo seems to be unusually accurate for a scoot! Within 1 or 2 mph at lower speeds and only 2 or 3 mph off at 60 and above. My Piaggio was 10% off everywhere. I think the rollers if the same as the Downtowns are 20x12 14g. The stock Maxis tires have now crossed over 13K miles and look to be ok for a bit more. Enjoy your new scoot!

For the oil filter cover and crankcase drain bolt torque, I just tighten them , but only "snug". 

The drain "bolt" is really only a plastic cap/plug  and has an o-ring so you don't want to over-tighten it.

Another tip when you drain the oil from the crankcase, just loosen the the plastic plug-don't remove it all the way until it stops draining to avoid a mess.  Once it stops draining, remove the cap, and then slide out the filtering screen/tube and clean that as well.
