Gilera Fuoco 500 - 2009 /2010

[Guest chaochao]

when riding in east msia @ speed of 100-120kph, im getting 26km/l

amaze by it..

 

That's amazing - but I'll fall asleep at that speed... I have a good guess that my poorer F/c at 125KPH is due to the after-market LV exhaust. ECU have not reset to the new pipe. gotta find a way to do it - read that just disconnecting the battery source and reconnecting it 1 min later will reset it.

haa.. imagine riding at dat speed all e way to cameron highland.. lol

but im trying to ride at dis speed cos i know noway fuoco can ride lik true tourer on high speed for long dist..

i feel dat my engine v stressful..

oh.. let me know if it works, i also dunno whether my ECU is reset to the pipe. Did send my bike to Piaggio for servicing after fixing pipe, dunno if they got do any tuning..

Btw can we go for 3k service when my odo reach 3.8k alrdy? Cos i went for a trip and overshot e mileage..

You mean you did not change at 1,000Km? I did realize there is a 3,000Km oil change.

 

I change to full-syn EO at 1,000km mark (after run-in) and the next one would be 5,000KM or (if I prefer) 8,000km. That's what I was told by a mech from the authorized svc centre.

O I C... if you put in fully-syn EO during the 1st change maybe can go until 5,000km then change. What's more, you only do 100-120kph on highways

Back in Singapore finally..

Malaysia indeed only allow foreign vehicles to pump 97 and above..

I managed to try out top speed at a straight down slope at NSH, hit about 170km/h++ on meter. forgot to notice the RPM though..

My petrol consumption is average about 60++(think less than 65) per 1/4 tank. Average speed 140km/h on meter.

WELCOME back!

You broke the top-speed record (meter)!!!

 

Wat's 60++ / quater tank mean?

[williamleesg]

i divide fuoco fuel gauge into 4/4, so i gauge 1/4 tank, i managed to travel about 60++km distance..

Stainless Steel.

The stock mid-pipe is extremely hot after riding is because of the env-friendly converter in the can.

 

Actually the stock pipe is good enough. I changed it to LV mainly to lighten the bike.

Hey YaTan! - congrats!!! please find more info on Fuoco in first 8 pages.. One of the best review is given by Mr Magoo.

 

We have not have a meet-up specifically for Fuoco - but I think we should - at least for once... How about PM me your handphone numbers and I'll organize one? It is quicker and more convenient to go by sms than checking-in this thread. I already have William's number... Chubb, YaTan, butataro, gees??
