    What Tools are in your Emergency Kit for your Bikes/Scooter?

    A portable battery boost and cables, Motul tire repair, Torx wrenches (I think T25, that one wrench is able to unfasten most of the body bolts on this scoot, and a T50 to remove the tire bolts)

    2014 Scooter of the Year

    Well deserved win. I really love this bike. It's what I use to go to work and it clearly has advantages riding in Manila traffic. 1. Motorists give you room. You are no ordinary MC on the road on a work week. 2. The traffic cops let you through, stopping other vehicles, admiring the bike as...

    Prepping for a Long Distance Ride

    I would bring the following along: Amazon.com: Antigravity Batteries Micro-Start PPS XP-3 Multi-Function Jump Starter / Personal Power Supply: Automotive This one can start a car. What more a bike? It can also charge cellphones and keep a gps going. You need to install the following...

    I have the BMW top case for my C600. Anyone tried installing a brake light inside the red reflector?

    Tool Kit

    You are right. A T50 not a T55. What was I thinking.

    Tool Kit

    The scoot came with some tools. Really pathetic. Not even a T55 torx to remove the bolts on the rear tire. What do you guys have in your tool kit?

    Front Wheel Removal?

    I installed the R&G sliders up front. To remove the wheel now requires 2 13mm sockets.

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    Absolutely. Always wear one before getting on the bike. Had one spill that shook me up real good. Helmet prevented any serious head injuries. I wear a half face when riding around town in usual heavy traffic. A full face when am hitting the open highway. No drinking and riding. Soda only...

    Highway Riding

    I ride in Manila's traffic going to work on my scoot at least 2-3 times a week now. My travel time is about 1/3 of that in a car or 50% on a really bad traffic jam. We have drivers who drive on imaginary lines. Bus and cab drivers who are probably on "ice" to stay awake. Jeeps that just stop...

    I used the 33kg clutch spring. Kept the default pillow springs that came with the cvt. 28g rollers.

    BEST bang for your BUCK...Dr. Pulley Sliders for your variator

    Here's an update. Brought the scoot back. Had the clutch springs changed. I went for the red springs. No more noise. Fantastic! It's a different bike.

    BEST bang for your BUCK...Dr. Pulley Sliders for your variator

    Thanks Skutor. I read somewhere that you need to run in the bike for 100 kms to break it in. Just worried about the noise.

    BEST bang for your BUCK...Dr. Pulley Sliders for your variator

    I had the Dr Pulley Hit clutch and 28gm rollers installed on my C 600. Used the springs that came with the clutch. I noticed a significant change in throttle responsiveness. It's like it's a different bike altogether. However, when I close the throttle, I hear this sound like my brakes...

    Why did you choose the BMW?

    I started riding rather late in life. Actually, after retiring from work. As a teenager, my parents wouldn't let me ride. Too dangerous. Grandma and uncles won't lend me the money to buy my own bike. They didn't want to be responsible for anything that happened to me while on 2 wheels...
