Can't  quite  make out what you're saying. .....otherwise pretty good  picture.
What tires are you on?
Early on I was advised to replace the nylon Kendas with better tires since I would be riding in all weather using my LIKE200i as my work commuter. Michelin City Grips have worked well in all conditions.

Taken from the other videos, it looks like he is on the oem factory mounted Kenda 433/434 tires.

Yes, the tires are stock Kenda, that came with the bike. I have been on gravel, wet muddy gravel, wet leaves on hills in the forest  (film coming) and they seem to be pretty good, although I don't have any experience to compare to other tires.
I guess the test would be stopping fast or swerving around an obstacle on wet pavement, etc. which I haven't had to do.
Stig, thanks for comment, but not sure if you mean the audio wasn't loud enough for you or I'm just not making sense :)

Glad you were prepared BLUE, I always have my rain gear on the scoot now
'cause you never know. Did you enjoy the rain ride as much as I did? Adds a certain excitement don't you think.
