Gilera Fuoco 500 - 2009 /2010

[Guest chaochao]

Fri nite was first time bringing my Fuoco up 2nd Link. Would say performance is enjoyable. Full throttle hit 160KPH (on meter) @ 8,000rpm.

Also bumped into BigCow with his "studded" SWing!

 

I've went off-road last weekend. It was fun and would try it again.

Performance - I'd say gravel ground is ok, whereas softer ground proved a big challenge.

 

Its not posing - we are actually stuck in soft ground.

What I'll frown at is the cleaning part!!

Wow... where did you go off road?

[williamleesg]

send my fuoco for servicing today, according to the mechanic, they told me the rpm drop is bcoz dirt form up at the fuel injector, so need to wash.. same theory like carb bikes, need to service.. lucky today's servicing is FREE!

Try changing to a "colder" plug. It does help in mine.

[williamleesg]

I have watched the clips where a company asked some scooter enthusiasts to test-ride the prototype, but the review were not so favorable. Four-wheeled motorbike is harder to steer. Already - our 2+1 wheeled Fuoco takes more strength to bank than a 2-wheeler.

 

But I'd go for the yet-to-announced 4-wheeler coz it is more stylo... Can't remember the model but starts with "T".
