does any1 knows how to set time on the ET8? I tried and error many times but still cannot set. can some1 teach me the correct way to set? one more thing does any1 know where can i get touch up paint?

hmm, if u wanna get the paint to match ur original color, best is to enquire piaggio. They have a external painter whom they have known for many years. He should have the paint that you want.

 

if its jus normal paint, u can try d-i-y shops, like handy fix etc to get a "near matching" paint or stick.

haha i also kena...

 

one trick i found is not to squeeze all the way

 

squeeze half way and slowly pump... then when it reaches the 80% mark the pressure will cut off.. then can slowly squeeze some more...

 

keep the pressure like 60%, doesn't matter cause our fuel tanks so small...

 

hope you understand what i mean

[MooN_StaR]

i usually will monitor the amt of litres i've pumped in.

estimate the volume, then pull out and slowly pump in more, till i see the petrol coming close to the brim.

[Jing]

haha headache lo must really be super careful lehz i always spill out the petrol wor

[prozzie]

haha for the first 3 times... i always spill

now got a bit of skill (i think.. ) spill a few drops...

 

if careless then spill lor... zzz.. haha

[ashenZ]

woooo okie... i was doin wot u u guys suggested.....

 

hahaha but i still spill.....

 

tink i too trigger happy liao.. okieokie... will be more careful n see how!

[foolosophy]

can use the spill to polish the rims.. hahaha..

[ozzarhomb]

a general rule of thumb, that day i went to pump my sister's bike.

 

if the needle is at 1\4 when u refuel, pump in about 3 litres den u slowly press in a bit by bit

 

if the needle is at E, can pump in about 5 litres before u need to slowly pump.

 

1\4 is about 2 litres as per say so u can estimate how much to pump in before the tank's full. :smile:

[NaTsuMi]

remember to clean it off immediately... if not there will be stains left on the paint...

i did clean immediately (almost)... but still, stains were left. Need quite a few days of constant waxing and day after day, it slowly came off...(totally, i hope)

[shaneng7]

natsumi: i broke my rear brake light cover on my old PX150 before. it costed me $15. i don't know, but maybe if u look around for a shop with non-original brake cover, maybe it'll be much cheaper.

 

btw, i don't think this type of part is covered by warranty in the first place coz they're quite fragile. so i think i would give the shop the benefit of doubt.

unless no unforseen circumstances shd be going to the venue directly as nearer to go there from my house. but if my bf unable to join then i meet u guys first.... =)

[un-sith]

okok can. no prob.

 

to wayang,

seat height is 80cm i think. If its still to high, u can always to "cut the seats down" but u gotta rewrap the seat cover, which is around 30 or less i think. Once the seat is cut-ed, u shd hav no probs!

 

Its actually not as bad, even if its 138kg, u need not half clutch to manuvere the scoot, jus twist and go, thus @ low speed in carpark or town, u can zip around quite comfortably.
