Just sold my Grand Vista 250, so the used service manual is not needed.
Asking $10 plus the shipping cost. (to be determined when I get your zip code).
Manual is used and has some of our notes in it.

Are you getting a new scoot?

Hi Zombie,
Replaced it with a Burgman 200 yesteday.
They delivered and it was too late to ride it, but I should get some time on it today.
No problems with the Grand Vista, but wanted ABS and fuel injection.
Scoot safely,
-
Congrats! Maybe Skad can re-name or add the addendum "All scooters"...
Let us know how much you love the new bike.

Good introductory ride today. Some initial comparisons:
Brakes are stronger (easier to apply).
Engine is smoother even at idle speed
Suspension is smoother
Center of gravity feels lower (the gas tank and the battery are both below the floorboards.)
Headlights are more intense (both bulbs ON for High beam)
Power is a bit less on take-offs
Windshield is more in the field of vision and not wavy-free
Dashboard meters are good, but I forget to turn off the turn signals, which I never did with the GV.
Once the engine gets about 100 miles on it, I'll ride it a bit harder.
scoot safely,
-
First impressions mean the most IMHO! Before you get "used to" what ever there is.
You can have the screen cut lower at a good bike shop. It's about an hour job, and a good mechanic won't have to dis-mount it. A simple cut, and quick polish of the edge... You will be the only one who knows. (besides us).
bring them coffee, and a cake... You might get it done for free. ;)
Enjoy it, and ride safe!
