Go to ASPhoon (Changi) if you wanna get a used Fuoco with nice number

ASPhoon does not have ERP (Early Repayment Penalty) - and they are easier to liaise with regards to loan and etc.

 

I have used mine the same way as you do - long distance commuting and it is very comfortable and enough power to overtake quickly. Stability - better!

 

Like what Chubb said - each make has its own problems.

sry bro, if taking need to get from shop coz of early settlement fee.

but can share the reason of selling?

anyway riding fuoco can pass thru middle of cars easily? and situations like left turn at zebra crossing or waiting to turn right, how you guys stop? as in, without the tilt-lock still require to put legs down like normal bike?

fuoco width is not as big as it looks.. about e same as other maxi scoot.. no prob lane splitting.. except for really tight squeeze, mirror sometimes may hit other car mirror..

many have e mindset dat fuoco or mp3's dun really need to put their legs on e floor when come to a stop.

yes, u really can dun put yr leg down, unless u really master e timing of engaging it cos its has about 1 sec delay for e time u press to e time it really locks it.

it goes e same when u throttle off.. 1 sec delay b4 it dis-engage itself.

actually there r some factor u need to observe using it when riding, like is e floor really even when u engage, r u stopping abit slanted, confidence level to not put yr leg down.

when juz b4 tilt-lock engage, suddenly yr left or right wheel dips into a small pot hole which u didnt notice, yr whole bike will slant to either side. if u lucky bike stays, if not u make a joke of yrself.

tilt lock is a aid for easier parking w/o side or mainstand.

 

i personally always put both my legs down when comes to a stop.

dun forget, tilt-lock is controlled electronically, and when it comes to electric stuff, it may fail u..

I may juz keep e bike a lil longer.. Stil enjoys it..

Might hav a lil prob if yr foot barely on e floor wif s4.. Cos e height is not very hight but e width is big.. So yr leg will open bigger, hence a lil hard to rest both feet.. I ard 1.74 also tip toe a lil..

[nux_newbie]

Is the Piaggio "Yourban" available in Singapore?

[fam]

bro no offense but that's other ppl's riding style.. haha..

:cheeky:

 

Haha, no worries... i know him for many yrs already... teasing him cos i manage to spot the 0.1% chance when he din put down his legs to hao lian to me...

 

he is sure.

 

hahaha... he isnt...

 

 

Haa.. 99.9% of stops i make, both leg will down.. lol

 

And u hv to show me the 0.1%??? hahahahah

Hi Everyone,

Read from the forum that Fuoco has tendency to stall? It that a technical issue? Have Piaggio solve this problem with the new batch? Looking at this fantastic look bike but I have my reservations....

hmm, FI bike dat change exhaust and filter will hav e tendency stall be it how many cc.

cos yr fuel and air ratio changed.. juz do some tuning and it be good as usual..

wats e worry? lol..

like i said earlier post.. every bike have its own problem, be it 1 day old or 10 years old.. ducati or yamaha..

not saying fuoco is a very great bike.. but it really depends on how u see it.

[Chubb]

at least i enjoy everytime i sat on it.. never gave me any problem at all..

Hi guys ....

 

I got the Fuoco 500 ( 2nd hand) last sat & it stalled on me 3 times already ...... hahaha - got it tow back to shop jus now at 1.30pm bec got stuck on the PIE...... It is a DEC 2009 model - got any more warranty with the agent ornot ? I suspect itis the bike not charging bec the battery always goes flat.... I am not familiar with the bike bec it sieze on me after 29km only ........

 

Hope to learn from you guys ...........

[Chubb]

well i gt stranded alone CTE on e 1st day of bike collection wif 15km on odo..

agent says battery not charged.

 

check for battery voltage.. if not check whether retifier fuse broken anot..

retifier fuse is also called a hidden fuse as it sits under yr seat storage.

open up yr seat > open e single screw cover > u will see a relay on right side.. its a 30amp(green) fuse.

 

if dat fuse is snapped yr bike wont charge
