Thanks Tony! I would agree with everything you said. I just don't understand why a car would recommend 60,000 miles in a gear box and Yamaha recommends 2,000...
After a lot of searching, I finally found a cheap basket at Canadian Tire (currently $18 end of season sale) in the bicycle section. I got the cargo net for...
part of the difference in the length of time between a car and your scooter is the amount of gear lube each holds. the less there is the quicker it all breaks...
Denise, Now THAT is a good looking basket!!! Not too bulky or overwhelming. I would be able to do my grocery shopping and then plunk my plastic IKEA tote bag...
This discussion is precisely the reason for the favorable use of synthetic oil and gear oil for the Vino 125. I have recently changed oil and now using the...
Anyone ever added a custom seat to your Vino with added height and back support? I am thinking along the the lines of removing the seat and replacing the OEM...
I own a 72 VW air cooled and work for a company that build components for air cooled engines. I do believe that oil is the life blood of any air cooled...
That is cool - I still haven't taken any pics of my basket solution which was an $18 closet organizer about the size of a milk crate I bought at Lowes and...
I do believe that the Engineers at Yamaha know what they are doing when they recommend the oil change intervils on the engine. Like I mentioned below SOS oil...
Thanks! that makes sense. Chris ... From: shannon To: Vino125@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 8:52 AM Subject: [Vino125] Re: Vino 125 Oil...
So far they have had it for 3 weeks, the various gaskets and o-rings took FOREVER to show up, my bike was been up on the lift for 3 days. Hopefully I get it...
Doug, Sorry to hear about your dilemma and the long service delay IMO sure doesn't sound right. In my case with the crank seal leak they use a comparable...
I recently changed my oil from unknown (scooter bought used 3 months ago) to Mobil 1 synthetic 10w30. It was full to nearly top of the window...now it's about...
My wife and I love our Vino so much, we're thinking of getting another scooter. Initially I wanted a matching pair for the cute factor, but we're both eyeing...
I'm sure the engineers accounted for some that may use the rule of thumb for filling up a transmission or a final drive housing/rear end such as in a car,...
You may consider some of the Taiwanese brands, like Kymco (http://www.kymco.com/) or Sym. Don't confuse these with the cheap Chinese scooters. They are solid...
Roy, You're right about the vent tubing on the Vino - I had brain fade and was thinking of another motorcycle I once had in my fleet... The vent tube on the...
dave - I moved up from my Vino125 to a Burgman400, as I live in an area where the only way into and out of the Dungeness Valley is by a major 55 mph 2-lane...
I am looking at the SYM RV 250 made in Taiwan. Cheaper than a Majesty or Burgman and 250cc appears to be the right size for mostly city and a bit of highway...
I've only had my Vino 125 for a couple of months and I'm already looking forward to the day I can move up to something in the 250 to 400 cc range. One guy in...

I have the Vino 125 and I truly love it. It is easy for me to push around and I feel confident riding it. My husband, on the other hand, was not happy with his...
The worst mileage I've gotten has been in the past ten fill-ups is 88.54 mpg. Best so far is 102.09 mpg. I suspect that one key is rider weight. I weigh 147...
Stess, I would recommend changing to synthetic oil on the next oil change when the odometer reaches at least 1600 miles after a good break-in period. I...
I've been looking through past postings, relating to the idea of replacing the shock absorber with a better one. Past discussions appear to end with no one...
It seems like my 06 125 Vino has developed a rattling noise while accelerating. It sounds like it's coming from around the exhaust, but it's hard to pin point...
Thanks! Is this the same bolt I've been reading about? If so, are there any pics showing the location? ... Failure to replace said bolt will result will end up...
