Title: Bedtime reading?
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on July 16, 2020, 01:56:34 AM
Anyone else read a few pages of their scooter owners manual at bed time , to end your day on a nice scootering note?
My Piaggio manual is over 320 pages long. With lots of charts and pictures. And some of it is in English!

I'm learning Taiwanian creole from my Kymco manual. Who knows, might come in handy someday.

Have you ever seen a Kymco manual that delt with setting the clock? Newer manuals might be better at this. On some of my older machines the closest it got was a arrow pointing to the dash with the word clock.  If it wasn’t for the good people on this forum I would have never know how to change the battery in the clock on my People 150.

In all fairness there understanding of English is a lot better then my understanding of Mandarin.

lately, researching replacement engines for my K-Pipe,  seriously looking at bumping up to 212cc/5spd, I'm told I'll be able to cruise @60 easily rather than struggle to get to 54

Could go with a small turbocharger for a large increase. ;D

or I can ride my V-strom,  at 125cc, the K-Pipe has me rowing the shifter a lot on the hilly terrain, if I go south and east, the terrain becomes flatter, but a lot of these local hills, I can barely keep 2nd gear, I'm not a speed demon, but I like to keep up with traffic, for safety sake

But do you write Mandarin manuals and say they're Mandarin. Good point though.
