Yup. the 2 screws near the idling. ** Hmm... was the original setting 1/2 turn out? Not sure.

Any bike shop that service big bikes (multi-cylinders) should/must have this.

 

A note though... there are 2 set of outlets (got rubber tubes connected) that can be used to tune:

 

1. 1 pair near the airbox side, which is the correct one.

2. 1 pair more visible and near the idling screw, is for the auto choke.

 

That's what I was told but some mechanics may differ.

My mech used the airbox side for setting and bike was ultra smooth.

1 time setting should last for 10k at least so no need waste $$ everytime go check. Bike shop got service charge for using the equipment de.

 

so mind sharing the damages?? :D

His chief mech can do basic SWing maintenance. haha, some other skills he used my SW for testing (fork oil changes and Voltage Stabilizer install and grounding). They specialised in big bikes tuning/servicing... wouldn't go wrong with SWing bah.

 

Anyway, another rider de_mod also visit K & T with his SWing and Busa.

[anodise57]

FYI.. .my 1st major servicing.. was done there after i got my swing...

Ah Jin help me did almost everyting.....

INcluding volt meter also..... hahahhaha

 

After that time... I went to try some scoot speciality shop le...

cos the pricing for scoot and normal bike is diff. Pardon me but except for scoot. K &T is THE place to go to no doubt about tat.. .hehehe

u guys should actually try the Piaggio X8 box back rest. its really one of the most comfortable ones. have seen a few silverwing's fix this back rest. but on the GIVI 45 liter box. the original GIVI backrest lose out to the Piaggio one many times. and not forgetting getting a scrap piece then go and wrap, how much would it cost? $30 or $40? not forgetting the hassle. i nearly fixed the Piaggio back rest on my H&B box man!!!
