howdy, i don't know if i can explain in english but the vibration is dampened by the brake rotor and pad being locked on the front wheel. you should be able to notice when the vibration is shaking the mirrors with only the back brake being held, when you add the front brake the vibration will dampen. try that at a stop and see if i am correct. if it doesn't work let me know.

howdy, it seems to me there are definite safety concerns with carrying fuel under the seat if i were to do that, i would want a bottle designed for that. the only place i have considered that was on my trip from bend oregon to burns which is about 130 miles with no fuel. then i would have probably mede sure to carry it away from just over the top of the spark plug and wires which it would be in the underseat storage. stuff happens!

howdy, yup, this sounds like a very frequent happening. i also was down from someone stopping unexpectedly in front of me. i think i probably don't see as well as i used to so didn't see the brake lights come on until too late. i do keep my eyes open under similar situations more than before.
quick trip today up to detroit dam with a friend who rides a vulcan. great trip and perfect weather. stoked. also came home to find my solar system mostly installed. a good day over all

howdy and welcome to the forum. it does help if it is known at least the general location you are and some of your needs and expectations and how much you want to work on a scooter for maintainance and repair or do you have someone to help with that type of stuff. are you in town and want to ride local 35 speed limit roads or in the country on lazical 50 mph roads or screaming down the freeway dodging aligators.

temp guage

howdy, if you ground the wire from the guage, that is , take it off the sensor and go to ground , it should peg the guage. if it does, you may have either a poor connection on the sensor , or a bad sensor.----or an extreme would be there is no water at the level of the sensor, therefore there is no temperature to measure. all this with the key on, or course.

howdy, that was precisely done and correct for most applications EXCEPT some scooters and seating actually leave one under normal riding actually hanging from the bars instead of leaning on them. in that circumstance you might find yourself PULLING back on the right to go left instead of PUSHING forward on the left to go left. i have little flexibility to bend forward so frequently am pulling back on both bar ends at normal riding instead of bending at the waist and leaning on the bars. the principle as explained so patiently above is still correct only the application may change. a rider on a motorcycle with "ape hangers" may find themselves in the same situation.

howdy, and welcome to the forum. i don't recall anyone saying it IS a two stroke , but if it is, you definitely need to be sure there is some two stroke oil in the reservoir.

howdy, thanks for that response alleyoop, i was thinking the same thing. i don't understand why, other than looks, more prople don't do that. it sure cuts a lot of weight, sounds ok.
i would think a little thought put in could make it look good also.

howdy, did it come with the two way tape? where did you get it?. i had the bv500 and traded it for the bv350 and it feels like it is turning quite a bit faster. it is fairly impressive for a 330cc machine though with 33 horses. i just rode it across the desert and it did as well as the 500 would have. i can go nearly  pmh if i want. you can see it in the it is the ride. really section. i just ride the speed limit and never worry about it. since i discovered i can turn my toes outward and get a more "cruiser" position , it has been more comfortable. sorry 'bout the ramblin lotsa miles and smiles to ya ken |
