This helmet is nice. I saw it in Regina. Wanna get a full face but I think full face very hot and difficult to check blind spot.

Well, bro! This bike is a good choice. The pick up very fast...the brake not very good during dry season.

Will be going down for my 1st k servicing at Tomorrow 830. Hopefully can solve the issue.

 

When is ur appointment?

 

Break wise, so far so good.. Even in wet weather.. Speed at 80+ during rain.

The brake is awesome. Could be due to damaged disc brake or oil residue. Better get it inspected.

[Running_Man]

mine so far avg 28km/l..

 

Wow you sure? Mine highest was only 25km/L. Subsequent is only about 23km/L to 24km/L and I hardly burst my throttle!

[Running_Man]

I've never hit more than 265km before reserve. And that's about 1 bar of petrol left.

[Running_Man]

Check out this guide. Pretty accurate.

Nexus 300 listed as 25km/L average. 28km/L is out of this world man! You got yourself a one of a kind!

Went down to Piaggio today, solved my RPM problem. The problem is due to wrong fixing of IU connection by....

I'm shocked that you guys said that the brakes are alright. I've a new way of braking this powerful bike by tapping left right left right of the brakes then pull both brakes. The braking system must try an error. Now I feel that the brakes are alright. Is the technique I think.

Remember guys, ride safely, our bike no ABS. Especially raining and the ground is wet.

The km/l quite good. Today I started to play corners. Very fun and getting use of my bike. A good sign.

Sad the COE price dropped. Should have bid for it. But I've the pay for the price for getting my bike early.

Hi bro Running Man can check with you had you done your 1000km maintenance already?

I did mine before i reach 1000km but after my bike reach 1000km everytime i start the maintenance icon keep flashing any idea how to re-set it?

I have no idea since I have yet to go for my first servicing.

But a little googling reviewed this.

 

Re-setting service icons.

If one or both of the service icons is flashing follow this procedure:

Press "MODE" and "ODO/SET" buttons at the same time. Keep pressing the buttons and turn on the ignition, after about 3 seconds, the two icons icon will light. Release the buttons.

Press the “MODE” button briefly (for less than 1 second) to select the icons in a sequence. The selected icon must turn on with a solid light.

Press the “MODE” button for more than 3 seconds to reset the selected icon;

Note that the “SERVICE” function also resets the date.

 

Hope that helps.

:sian:cannot see how they service the bike...

The figure comes from an iPhone apps which I use to keep track of my fuel consumption. Also not sure if it's accurate. So far onLy Topup 5 times.

The trip meter is there for a reason. The next time you top up, divide the trip meter with the top up fuel capacity.

 

That should be the most accurate. Congrats if it's still 28km/l.

 

Also don't be like super4hundred blur blur. Use mean calculation. He thought his nexus 300 35km/l. LOL
