Guys...I picked her up @ 9:00AM this morning. Put about 40 miles on her & took her home. 1st thing I did was take off the four bolts holding down the exhaust shield & used some Loctite Hiigh-Temp 266 & reinstalled. Should keep it on there nice & tight. 2nd was installing a Deltran Battery Jr. pigtail. This took me a little longer then I thought as it is so tight in the battery compartment. Had just enough room to push/hide the wires inside the box itself. The pigtail length was perfect! I didn't even need to use a twist-tie to hold it place. Just snaked it back inside.
Some very quick thoughts here:
Positives: The ride is so damn nice & she isn't even close to being broken in! Took her out of the highway for about 6-7 minutes. Got her up to 70 for a short burst. Feels very soild! Suspension feels nice. I may bring her down 1 slot to soften her-up a tad (we'll see on that later) Love the "upright" riding position. I thing she is pretty nimble all-in-all, but I need to give it more time.
Fit & finish is A+ (Kymco Standard) Like the instrument layout. Simple & effective. So quiet vs. my 250cc motorcycle I sold (good thing) The standard storage box provided isn't that bad! I need to grease-up the lock a little more as it's fairly stiff to open up @ this point.
Negatives: Underneath storage is much smaller then I thought it was going to be. I'm 6' 230 lbs. & have a size 12 shoe. I have just enough room for my feet, I would have like maybe 1/2" more in width (no a deal braker) Braking seem a tad "soft" too me, not horrible. Needs a little adjustment maybe. Hard seat! When will Kymco ever make a seat that isn't so stiff! No worries...I have an "Airvent" scooter cushion that I'll be installing in a few minutes.
I like the Silver, Dark Grey, Black look myself. Never been a real big fan of black rims, but they are already growing on me. Ok....enough writing. Need to get on her & loosen her up more! I'll follow-up with some pics soon.
