Hi Richard First thing is that, use your scoot just like a motorcycle while stopping. There is an exception though, I'd list later. ... There are two modes of...
Akhilesh, Sorry, but I must take exception to one of your comments. It's also a good idea to go through 1st gear while downshifting to a stop. While proper...
Don't bother trying. There is a half-moon recess cut into the steering column that the head set bolt passes through. It's an important safety feature. If the...

Jim, I have locked up my tire on numerous occasions. Some on purpose, some not :) I find that with me (300ish pounds and 6'4") rolling on Sava MC 18s I tend to...
Hi, Jake here. Yesterday the right rear lens cover came off from the turn signal cover assembly on my 02' Chetak, just the yellow lens is missing, nothing...
I think the chosen angles for the gear-shift indexes also play a part. Perhaps there is a built-in difficulty in reaching first. One needs wrist contortion to...
Me too, the rear tries to pass-up the front and on the right side. The right side might be because the engine mass is biased to the right and per my thoughts...

I'll try to describe how I do this, others may do it differently, but it works for me. Decelerating from 1st gear to stop: close throttle, apply light front...
