Salt and chloride combination out here ( Maine) is eating away peoples brake lines,gas lines,body parts, etc. and car washes are only a minimal help(even with bottom blasting) , so I won't expose my scoot to that ( nor do I trust sand/salt residue on roads) . I am going to replace everything I can get my mechanic to find , underneath my truck , that may be close to needing replacement from this...then FluidFilm it ( my mechanic calls it Gorilla Snot ). Wonder if it can be used on Scoots ?

Thanks to a hit and run 18-wheeler ( I in my truck, thankfully-not a car- or I wouldn't be here ) I had to have surgery on my left thumb and wrist and clutching is WAY TOO hard on it. Plus, I love the extra storage ability and I get a lot of Harley/other cruiser bikes stopping to ask me about my DT300i , then saying that their bike is getting to hard to ride as they age , and they may look into getting one like it ! :-*

People who spout their political opinions , then get upset when someone responds to them with a differing view .  :o

Going to have to drill into panels to access area for highway pegs. My DT 300 is going to have regular (motorcycle) saddlebags attached to pillion grab bars. You can buy bar weights,carbon fiber panels/exhaust covers,diamond plate items on foreign sites ( this is one I found :   kymco.com/gr    ) .Good luck.

My dealer recommends ( and only uses ) K100 treatment. I do understand that our ratings (U.S. ) are different than overseas (at least for octane rating...our regular octane is the same as their high test, as I've read ..true?? ) .

They don't allow  scooter tires to be plugged/patched in Maine.I bought a 4 year warranty on my tires (unlimited # of tires in that 4 years) and have replaced two in last year due to nails,etc.

Downtown 300 / Re: MY ONLY DISLIKE FOR THE DT 300 I
« on: September 22, 2013, 08:14:58 AM »
I like to point my toes out a bit and keep my knees apart so I can hug my tunnel bag  as one would hug a tank on a regular motorcycle. I don,t like the typical knee position that most scooterists use.
