Hit 1000 miles early this morning!
To date: 5 changes of oils, 2 plug changes - back to stock NGK, installed Michelin City Grips( NO rain issues, thanks Vivo~!) , valves adjusted, 2 long-neck Italian-made mirrors installed for perfect viewing (I'm a big guy), LED front running lights installed (better front and side visibility of me to others), Nathan LED safety strobe for rear in the rains, rear shock extenders coming from Australia (to get scooter levelled like a 150lb guy).
Dr Pulley sliders here (18/14/13gr) but undecided about using while under warranty (for 22 more mos~!)
Scooter never seen 40MPH yet.
Using Valvoline for break-in (Amsoil scooter specific synthetic still in the case - soon eh?)
Using a nice Prima cover, good fit.
Security with BULLY alarmed/remote U-Lock; bright yellow GripLock for quick store trips. BULLY locks should have been bright not black!
Riding with yellow Icon gloves, always!
HJC flip-up full face helmet, always.
Bright lime/yellow Hi-Viz Frogg jacket, always.
Bright lime/yellow Hi-Viz armored mesh jacket coming.
BP 93 octane, always. @85MPG.
Using no oil, checked before every ride.
Signed up for 2 day safety riding class next month.
COMMENTS :
1) Absolutely NO issues for these 1000 miles. (still carrying 20 lbs of tools and spare parts under the seat - will take them out soon. NEVER carried anything with my Hondas, except Moon Pies. It looks like those reviews about KYMCO quality were true.)
2) Correct air pressure in tires makes a big difference in ride quality (25 front, 30 rear for me)
3) Absolutely convinced the Hi-Viz jacket is working! Wear Hi-Viz stuff folks! Hi-Viz works! (forget about your vanity & fav colors, etc. Use that when you pick your scooter color.)
Having a blast, though getting little sleep in the Mid West!
OK, I have not put the Dr Pulley sliders in yet, but last night I did put on the neat decal that came with them - gives the LIKE a whole new look!
(cannot figure out where to store my emergency Moon Pies though....)
