Just bought a Honda ADV160 and have the oil for the first oil change but stuggling to get the right gear oil. I need specifics like recommended brand, how much to put back in the gear case and what weight to use. Thanks, wish the manual was more specific.
Same owner since 2011 they bought it new from dealership. I’ve had cars before but they mainly sit. Figured I’d try this as a daily instead. It came with a helmet and lock for it too. Only ever ridden a minibike a few times as a kid. If you know anything about the make & model I’d be grateful to hear if you’re willing to share. Thanks
I have a 2025 honda pcx160 which is great but I also wanted a project so I picked up a 2008 honda silverwing600. Mildly neglected and did a ton of work. Took it all apart. Did all fluids. Cvt belt and bits. Spliced and repair wires switches exhaust and more. I learned a ton and if anyone has a silverwing and has a question I could probably answer it. Other than putting that out there, ill post a Pic video or two of it. Fun bike but heavy and really is not a scooter imo. Ride safe.
i have been around scooters my whole life but never really bother to get one, i have always been an underbone guy (honda cub and stuffs like that) even tho i own a motorcycle repair shop and got to work on these a lot, my cousin bought his honda dio a couple of days ago and i realize that these are hella fun so i hopped on marketplace and got myself a yamaha jog, not in the best shape but i dont really care, this thing is way more fuel efficient than anything i own and is perfect for short runs to the local part store, the under seat storage is so big lol
Is this a reasonable price for this model Vespa? Was thinking of buying it second hand from Facebook market place
Got it for 1k 👌 I've had and built a few Chinese scooters, but this thing is so much nicer! 4400 miles. I got it from the original owner 😁 does anyone make graphics kits for these like they do dirt bikes? It's too plain black and it doesn't seem like there is much aftermarket support for the 50F
Day 2 was about 220 miles of beautiful riding down US180 into New Mexico. The plan was to go to the Catwalk State Park but high water in a water crossing decided otherwise. A couple of bikes made it across before we could bring everyone to a halt.
We rode back, saw some elk, stopped for an amazing meal in Alpine Arizona then took the scenic route around a few lakes. We had a herd of cows block the road briefly and we all had a blast.
Day 3 there were two rides and I went on the Devil's Triangle ride. 265 miles ranging from over 9000 feet down to about 3000 feet elevation. We rode through forests, plains, desert, scrub and probably other biomes. We also rode right through the middle of one of the largest open pit copper mines in the country.
6 miles from our hotel we got hit by a cold rain. We got a little wet but it didn't dampen our spirits.
Looking to get first scooter. Owner from marketplace says they just got a new battery but the scooter isn't working because it needs a carb clean. I don't know how many miles are on it, but for the price does it matter? From what I've heard buddy's are a good scooter.
Im fine with having to buy a new carb if its totally toast. What you guys think?
Helped my buddy buy this thing a few weeks back and he's loving it so far. He decided to buy the NCY 72cc big bore kit and we installed it a few days ago along with roller weights and clutch springs as recommended by our local scooter shop as well as a new spark plug.
We're in Denver and the shop told us we didn't need to upgrade the main jet because the Roughhouse had a bigger jet than the buddy 50 from the factory. We've now driven it a few times with everything installed with no issues but I just took it out and am pretty sure I experienced a soft seize. Was going about 45 on a flat road and it died and the rear wheel was resistant to roll. I waited about half an hour and got it to start again and limped it back home (although it seemed to drive absolutely fine). Next step is to check to see if there's any damage internally but my question is should we be upgrading the main jet at this point? Everything I've read recommends bigger jet sizes and from what I can find the Roughhouse has an 82 main jet and at elevation we should probably be using something in the range of 85-95 with this setup.
Decided to refresh the looks of my Gilera Runner FX125.
Bought a set of Evo panels and have them an OEM color paint combo.
Up close looks so good.. I got offers on buying it right from the first ride around my house!
Last photo is the before... I looked good but want to preserve the original panel set .. I may fit that to the Runner 180 2t I'm rebuilding.
