yes i have stuff a lot of stuff on the underseat storage. diving fins, AO size drawing (in a roll)

A0 in a roll means about 84 cm long.

 

Anyway, from the pic, it seems the underseat storage can be assessed from both the rear boot and the underseat, am I right? Sorry for asking such basic qns. But would just like to confirm instead of assuming.

Hi Disar,

 

If there is enough ppl coming on Wed, why not?

[roytanlk]

Read somewhere in this forum that the fuel consumption is about 22L/km. This is low compared to X9's 25~28km/L and even some 2A scooters. Any reasons/comments for this?

[andextan]

Thanks for the offer, bro. I'll probably join you guys in one of your local outings instead to exchange some pointers etc. Touring on bike up north is too taxing for my old body.

 

Fyi, I'll be getting a X8 soon as well.

2 more days on Monday! Taking over the scooter around 3 pm. Thinking of going to do a EO servicing, transmission check etc. But not sure which workshop to go to? Although I have my regular workshop (sensitive to reveal) when I rode bikes in the past, it seems they don't really specialise in scooters.

 

Know there are the 4 heavenly kings for scooter servicing. But abit apprehensive about going on my own. If any bro going down on Monday after 4pm, maybe we can meet before that and go down together?

 

My HP 8125 5440. Thanks in advance.
