... is, or did you have to re-engineer it? I'm semi-handy but not a talented fabricator!!!! Thanks for your help. I mounted the S-06 using the stock mounting...
I just purchased an '08 and the odometer has just clicked over 130 miles. I plan on making my first oil change soon because I have heard that most of the crap...
Engine oil is often a hotly debated topic. There's certainly nothing wrong with using a motorcycle/scooter specific oil. But I've seen no evidence to...
Hi! I have always used Exxon petroleum based 5w30 every 2000 miles up to 13777 when I switched to Castrol Syntec 5w30. I have about 100 miles with synthetic. I...
Thanks for the info everybody. It sounds like 10w30 is the standard oil except for the hottest times of the year, in which i should move up to 10w40. I live...
Hi all, any feedback on rotating the back tire to the front and approximately when this should happen? I have about 1500 miles on mine and the rear tire is...
The tires on the Vino are specific - front with a center groove and rear with no groove. I don't believe rotating will be an easy task since the switch will...
I agree changing the oil early is a good idea. I have read a lot of opinions regarding oil. I use oil that is diesel rated. Automotive oils have had the...
Hi! I don't remember if the tires are the same, but they should be in order to make rotation feasible. My rear wore out at 12,000 and I never considered...
My tires have different tread patterns front and rear. I suspect I will replace a front tire with every other rear. Perhaps some of our members with high...

I posted my scoot for sale some time back and really haven't tried to sell it too hard.No local ads. No calls from the group. It still has been very useful...
I've been using diesel rated Shell Rotella T synthetic for several years in my Triumph motorcycle and both my Vinos. At a little over $4 per quart at Walmart...
... use. ... I wouldn't do that. A 1966 Beetle, unless you've recently rebuilt the engine, was never made to accomodate syntehtic oil, which has smaller ...
Brian, I already use synthetic oil in my 1966 Beetle - the engine was rebuilt before I acquired it. And yes, after 40K miles on the rebuild it does ooze a...

Larry, The replacement effort for a tire on the Vino is high enough that I don't consider rotation a good option. The front tire will go a LONG way - I still...
I'm running synthetic in my 71 Fiat Cinquecento (actually a 650 engine), and haven't had any problems. For what that's worth. And BTW talk about loving it...
Hi Scott, When I needed a tire it was an emergency (fabric showing) and only the Honda dealer had a tire that fit that had some grippy tread. It was an IRC...

Larry, You raise a good point but your scenario is fairly unlikely. My Triumph engine is "tight" and generates very little blow by into the crankcase. Think...

This I heard from a Yamaha salesperson at a Yamaha dealer; a Vino 250 might be in the pipeline coming to the U.S. . Or this is just another Yamaha 250 scooter...
