Guys and gals, some of you have owned the X8 for quite a while. Any major complains so far? Just curious..... as a few other scooters are using the same engine. Transmission?? Locking mechanism?? Cosmetics??

no major complaints

just that the passenger may not be very comfortable as the seat is shorter compare to x9

the foot placement for the pillion is not very comfortable too....

Perhaps the hassle of tilting the rear top box to reach the rear boot space....

 

helmets with ar vents cannot really fit that perfectly...

 

high seat

 

and i think this only apply to me and my gf, not enough storage

 

heard that some experience clutch slip and funny sound from the engine

Yah . I feel damn "shack" now. This is my last leg for January coz my boss going to leave me in peace till after Chinese New year. After 12 Feb, my whirlwind going to start again for 2 weeks.

 

Saw that you made some mods to your bike. How's the feel? Did you change your clutch and bell yet...? I'm not really looking for performance but I just want to solve my slip problem once and for all.

Yeah juz do up my clutch and clutch bell last evening. So far so good but havnt got the chance to really whack the scoot to its optimum level. The weather doesnt really permits it for now. But the pick up is really responsive now

Not very bad but a bit siao. One of the weekends, entire weekend, never slip at all. don't know what I did right....Then one evening slip again then ok again the next day. So I very confused also . Haven't talk to Yap yet. Think I will hit 3,000 km at the end of this month. Thought of bringing it to Yap to complain again coz this cannot carry on. Its affecting my riding experience with Piaggio bikes.

I think there is a way to solve this. whenever my wife sits on my bike, I always place my feet way in front in the cruising position. That way, she has a lot of room to place her feet in any way. Do try...
