oooo~ Thankz Scootourer... But what is the thing behind the back rest? is like OMG la~ so spoil~

 

its the box base rack la.

[Scootourer]

is there any other choices? haha~ like take it out and make it higher or other brands?

 

you will need to find a place to mod it but no idea where it can be done.

maybe you can try Eugene Saddle.

 

got one other idea is add a box with backrest.

[CCK]

[bigcow]

*no offence har.. haha

 

anyway, i tried a few times already lei..the power cut at 170kph..when i go down slop it wanna go beyond 170kph, the engine will cut off and slow down then below 170kph it will on again..hai ~

if u say he is heavier, a few times on upslope pull, his bike is very fast too. its the trottle control la....

Hi

 

I got my SW at 12.2K. COE at $702.

 

I bought it when I was 26. Insurance for 3rd party fire and thief at $698 (appro) from AIG.

 

So machine price should be around 11K + ba. The quotation will be subjected to new COE price.

[william_liu]

It's something like playing yoyo.... that's my best description....

Are you the one he's talking about?

[william_liu]

No lah, I'm also considered new to riding scooters compared to some of the others.

[bigcow]

dun think i'm able to explain. dunno how to say also. u got to ride for quite sometime to understand. those who have rode a scoot for quite a while will understand wat i'm talking abt.

 

doing a fast pick up, sometimes cannot open too much, sometimes got to close a little if not bike won' trun as fast, top speed will drop & in turn will eat up more petrol.

 

something like this la...

Agree.....

 

I had the same experience and it is like finding the "right" biting point. Once you turn the throttle to the "sweet spot". it will initially pick up gently but subsequently fast and smooth from mid-range onwards.

 

Afterall, scooter are not meant for street racing, just stay cool, relax and enjoy the breeze..........

[patriots]

Hi all

 

I was thinking of adding another addition lettering on top of the "silverwing" wording, which stick at both the rear side of the bike.

 

This word will be" 銀翼" in red. ( Like some ppl like to put "civic R" on their honda)

But I was unsure whether such customized work is available in Sg..

[anodise57]

Swing generally is a low-maint bike. There are shops that are capable of servicing it but can't proclaim them as experts...

 

Refer to this link in the forum http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84026&page=7

 

There are some good scooter shops other than at Kallang area. Run through the posts in the link and u will understand why. Of course, no names mentioned..

[patriots]

Just try out my Euro Swing 400 from 0 to 100 km/h acceleration test..

 

It took 7 Sec..

 

Perhaps others can do better than mine..

[adriel]
