Hi Fuoco riders,

 

I'm interested in getting this unique and cool bike. Seen it the S'pore bike show at Changi Expo the very first time it came to our shores and loved it ever since. I've been kinda following a little with this thread(last few and start, too many pages to read....) and am interested to meet up with follow riders.

 

Been looking around shops and all...latest update..ASP $15300 otr excld ins.(No more free top-box given).

 

A question: Does anyone know the rider or the ride that is white, with blue and red colour scheme? Think it has a Leo Vince 4road exhaust and Givi wind shield. Care to share about this ride? Sitting at Loois at the moment.

Hi Guys,

 

What type of coolent is recommended for this beast? Water or any type of coolent that can be bought off the shelf in any petrol station?

Thanks.

[specialc]

Are there anyone selling their Fuoco? If so, please drop me a PM. Thanks.

[Sharko]

Just a quick response to the main stand scraper... If your tyre is properly inflated, you shouldn't ever scrape unless you're really trying to. If it still scrapes, get it fixed as it can get dangerous.

[Sharko]

BTW, I'm wondering how many other Fuocos here, can we make a list? Then maybe organize a meetup or create some kind of maxi-scooter club (above 400cc)?

I'm the black Fuoco with often 2 dogs riding... Unmodified, Hepco Becker box with lots of stickers...

 

I wanted to join one of the trips organized here, but it seems like people are more inserted in clocking mileage than taking it easy... '9 hours straight to Phuket' etc... Would be cool to organize a cool weekend ride, easy riding, lots of stops, max 150-200km per day. No rules and regulations, seniors juniors and all that BS...

Just did mine at Future Scootering: http://www.futurescootering.com/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=83

 

Front :$132 - Michelin City Grip 2x

Back: $136 - Michelin City Grip

http://www.michelin.co.uk/motorcycles/michelin-city-grip

 

Very grippy tires, builds confidence, superb in wet weather, good mileage!

After installing, Fuoco looks like a mean ATV!

Tried to find better prices but all have prices for sets of 2, why no sets of 3 , more tires, i buy, more discounts mah, *&%%^# must buy all single tire prices =[

Hi guys, anyone can Reccomend a good servicing shop. Would I would like to respay as well..

[comanche81]

Follow what the car-drivers do - SWAP!

 

Seriously, that's a good question - two-wheelers usually 2 front tire change for 1 rear. Seems like in Fuoco's case, its gonna be 2 rear for 2 front

 

OK - basic principle, SAFETY first!

 

I have just changed all my tires. Michelin City Grip. Only upon changing i realise my front 2 tires were in the wrong direction. The previous owner must have followed similar ideas like the one given above to swap tires like cars. But for cars all four tires same size and they only switch front with rear tires to allow equal wear and tear. Not swap left with right. So for our Fuoco, infact for all bikes there is no way to swap tires. The previous owner of my Fuoco is a mechanic, so he does his own servicing, thats why i suspect he swapped it on his own. I don't believe bike shop will make such a mistake. Anyway, please don't swap left with right. It don't work that way, the tires are designed to roll only in one direction. I nearly crashed in wet weather when going over a puddle as the front tires can't displace the water properly as they are not rolling in the correct direction. Such suggestions or mistakes will cost lives.
