Hey Chubb,

 

"MS" has similar problem. Read his past post at Page 5

It is claimable.

 

But be sure of the nature of the breakdown - if it is your negligence (such as never flick kill-switch), then it is not claimable.

Hi, juz gt my red fuoco today.. Stil trying to get use to it haa.. Sure its a heavy pig..

And 1 qns.. Doenst they supply e bracket dat mount e baseplate for topbox?

 

Congrats man!

 

Yeah - it does have a heavy weight compared to other street bikes - 250KG (fully

fueled)!!!

 

You'll need after-market BRACKET in order to fix up a base-plate and box.

 

You can go for GIVI (like William's) or Coocase (which is available at Chiap Lee about $300+). There maybe other makes available ...

Mine's OEM 40-litre box which is still on its way somewhere in Indian Ocean!

Congrats, Butataro!!

Yeah - if you have ridden a motorbike for years, it'll take a while to get used to the empty-between-legs feeling of a scooter. But I bet ya like the comfort riding style, eh?!

For me, I've another bike to keep me "sane" or else I'll be a "softie" eventually on a scooter!

 

Hold your horses during run-in period. Of all you know, you've hit the 1000KM mark!

 

On your first oil-change, do go to ADH (agent for Gilera and Piaggio). In fact, it is advisable to do servicing there during warranty period (first 10,000KM); just in case anything happen i.e. Chubb's breakdown - you'll get to enjoy the warranty.

 

When I collected mine, the fairing near the radiator pops out, the handle slightly slanted and seat lock does not function well. These are done FOC at ADH under warranty.

Chubb, Butataro, Gees650,

 

After market box and windshield are common accessories for Fuoco.

I've tried doing 120KPH locally and judging from the wind blast, taking Fuoco on NSH at high speeds would be a challenge. (read Mr. Magoo's post about page 4)

 

Local agent Givi windshield goes for S$200-$300, but have to wait 2 mths. Givi KL has ready stock but still at $250 after currency conversion.

(If you are also getting Givi box and windshield, and fancy a ride - maybe riding up to KL may be more worth it )

 

For myself, I have decided to order after-market windshield from MW. Current brand is "Ermax" which is +20cm taller. Please see previous post for pics.

The piece I'm ordering is called "Bullster" - but MW have to check for price and availability.

 

As it takes 2 months to ship, let me know if you are interested so that I can ask MW to bring in more stock. I believe MW would rather bring in a few than by piece-meal.

Did you get it towed to the agent? Sounds serious. The last time I encounter engine cut off on a scooter was the cover of the air-box became loose. Engine choked before it died. However, the scenario you gave seems different.

It does not seem to be your doing - so agent should not charge. Do remember to ask how to get refund for your tow charges.

 

I hope you did not leave your scooter unattended along CTE - it'll be towed by EMAS and they'll charge you. But if you call them and ask them to tow it out of the E'way, there's no charges. Thereafter, you can call your own tow.

 

(the kill-switch is your red cut-off switch on the right side of your handle. It is just another way to call it.)

[Chubb]

i called bike bulance to get it tow back to paggio center..

bike was left outside cos saturday night..

was so worried it get stolen away..

[Chubb]

juz gt back from paggio center...

mech told me due to weak battery..

Yes - mine's kinda "soft", but manageable. Funny that the rear brake is bites better. My rear wheels screeched a few times.

[Chubb]

Oh.. I tot my brake line gt air pocket inside..

hi bro chubb, the bike will tends to vibrate at around 2500-3000 RPM, according to shop, they claimed it's normal. However, heard if we install a hit clutch, we can reduce that vibration and have better pick up.. one mod to consider for me.. hmm..

[Chubb]

hm ok..

hit clutch?

wats e damage?

 

im loving my fuoco everytime i rides it.. lol..

even more relax den my ST11.

get lots of attention also..
