some parking tips for new fuoco riders.. our bike no need always park mainstand for overnight (dats e good point for 3 wheelers)

if bike need to be parked for some times, put it on main stand, release suspension lock and lock it back to de-pressurize e hydraulic. not good to keep it pressurize for long.. dbl tap to unlock suspension lock if no rider is on e seat.

I suggest you change your belt before the trip just to play safe as your mileage is already 10700km & its full servicing time.

 

hey guys..

anyone here have change the belting already?

when need to change ah? coz mine already 10700km already got the belting sign blinking..

and i got a Malacca trip on sat..

any comments if its ok to go?

coz this is my 1st time riding belting bike so i'm a total noob.. @_@

hmm... but our scoot is not that lower till that part will scoop up the water on the road...

maybe more of the effect of hydroplaning...?

 

can it be too much torque??

gd point there bro, tks

i never thought abt that.. ya its better to release the pressure after putting on main stand... as the scooter might not be at same angle before and after...

out front disc used up v fast.. i suggest do a check every 6-8k.. cos mine and another guy had our pad eaten up at 7.5k..

full service i change E.O, filter, pads, air filter, and all e oils

wonder why the pads wears out so fast? probably due to the weight of this monster?

but i must say the braking power is not bad for stock..

i guess when u have too much torque on the wheel,on a slippery surface:yr wheel will spin out.just like how u do a drift.

Chubb, good advice... Thanks bro. Would never tot of that.

[comanche_81]

I dunno bout other scoot.. But wat i observe is mayb its our lower panel infront of horn dat cause e prob.. Makes it kinda like scooping e water thurs causing e "pull back" effect..

Or mayb its e xtra wheel.. In anyway, ride wif care as now raining season and floods everywhere..

 

Must really be careful, especially going over puddles of water. Must slow down. Luckily 3 wheels, if not certaintly I would have crashed last week. Anyway be it 2 wheels or 3 wheels, all still must ride with caution at all times.

juz DIY my horn, stebel snail, using high tone 1st.

stebel horn can only sound off when engine is running, if engine is not running only stock horn will sound off,

as our stock horn is used for front suspension failure warning.

if not both stebel and stock horn will sound off for warning and it be damn loud and paiseh.. thou i have not encounter warning horn yet..

 

DIY means you installed it yourself?

I must say the horn on fuoco certaintly is not loud enough.

Chubb any advice on where can do?

 

I have encountered the warning horn, due to wear and tear of the sensor. Something like that. Sent to ADH for repairs, $128 after GST...

Damn paisey, cos the stock horn will not stop unless you unlock the hydralics...

[comanche_81]

Eh...

Need advice on tire brand, model, pricing and reliable place to change.

Any recommendations?

Thanks to all...

but i need to do the horn mod... stock is just too soft...

Tks
