Gilera Fuoco 500 - 2009 /2010

[Guest chaochao]

At one of the fuel kiosk, after filling up, I just roll the bike (with tilt-lock on) with one hand... gave it a hard push and let it roll down like NTUC trolley towards my friend who use his leg to stop it like football. Very fun!! Both car owners and other riders around were humoring amongst themselves at the little act.

 

The Fuoco is really a unique and fun bike.

mayb a white will look nice..

seen army green, dull green and yellow..

Nobody have white here? my 1st choice is Red, 2nd is white then black last ley. dunno whether they import white or not.

[williamleesg]

the rear tire will wear off alot faster compared to the front 2 wheels.. i dunno izzit bcoz of the heavy loads i put at the box and i most of the time ride with 2 person.. the shop told me it's normal for a 3 wheeler to change the rear tire before changing the fronts..

it's like 2 x rear tire change = 1 x front 2 tires change..

i tink rear wheel will wear faster also.. cos of e weight of e machine itself.. 244kg + loads + rider + pillion on a small 140 tire only.

Hi all,

 

Saw a nice Fuoco, was wondering which lights are normal beam and which ones are high beam. Seems like they are not automatic, are they ?

 

Thank you for the advice !

[Chubb]

Top 2 r normal, bottom 2 is high..

Not automatic? Wat u mean?

[gees650]

Yes the rider is here but not too active...hahahahaa.You were there too?Didn't see any other Fuoco. Sorry couldn't make the meetup cause of work.

I believe that should be old stock cause when I got mine in Sept,ADH only got red dragon and ASP were offering me Black too.But I chose Red.Check the production date-Sticker in underseat compartment.If you getting this,bargain hard.

Thank you for the quick feedback.

 

My question about 'automatic' : are the normal lights always on when your start the engine/ride ?
