Hi - cops are ever patrolling here, but it's about logistics; when the sun shines and hoards of folk spill outside from their high density living, this seems difficult to police. You need to be doing something blatant to attract the attention of boys and girls in blue.
The manual reads a minimum of 95 octane. I am aware that octane levels are generally higher in Europe. Also, service intervals are pushed out to 10K following the inital 1k service. But I note that the belt, rollers and slides are all to be replaced at 10K kilometers. If it keeps the scoot performing as it is currently - then that's ok. I'm so smitten with this scoot I'm likely to respond to most developments, at the moment, with - and that's ok.
I racked up 100ks on the 300 today. Wanting to undertake best break-in riding I went on two unbroken rides, with lots of throttle variation and speed range. 35ks to La Perouse and coastal/beachside mini touring, then after lunch a quick spin down to Crunulla and back. I left all the short haul jobbing work to the Monkey early this morning, before swapping rides.
The 300 continues to impress. It mauled these kilometers capably, and in comfort .....or such that you feel at this age.
But there are a couple of niggles: the ambient temperature gauge is on steroids. You need deduct about 8 degrees. The sensor must be placed too close to a heat source; the fuel gauge is on drugs - possibly too much petrol sniffing. It's wildly unreliable. Yesterday it almost caught me out, with the gauge displaying 1/3 full tank, then the emergeny fuel warning light abruptly flashing the next second. I fuelled within 4ks. But today, whilst out on the first ride, the gauge didn't move from full. This indictation should have also included the balance of use yesterday after fuelling. Hmm. When I stopped for two minutes to clean my glasses the gauge set itself to what I believed was close to an acurate display. But ten minutes later it displayed full again. When I got home I released the fuel cap thinking it might be a vacuum problem in the tank. When I left home for my second ride I believe the gauge was displaying an acurate reading, with me then needing to guesstimate the distance to be covered against remaining fuel. The gauge seems only to set itself when the scoot is re-started ....... and that's ok ...... sort of. Sort of not. I need to take a mileage reading when I fill, now, and plan for about 160 -170ks during break-in and 180-190ks thereafter.
What did you do today?
