Sorry correction - mine does read in KMs.   I was fooled because the speedo in in MPH.  But several GPS checks confirm the odo is in KMs.  Duhhh...sorry for mis-info.

It was 160 miles, not km

People 150 / Re: P150 Favorite Motor Oil

Valvoline synthetic - cheap $6 and available at local auto supply.  Can't tell on my P150, but my Harley with oil sump temp gauge runs about 10degF cooler on synthetic.  So figure lower temp has gotta be good.

Pushing 230# and can do 50mph no prob on straight and level.  Maybe 55 tops.

Probably old news, but the old Kryptonite locks were famous for being able to be opened with a hexagonal plastic bic pen.  Check Youtube for video of same.  I use a combination cable lock.   
Just postin for historical reasons in case someone reads this oldie.

People 150 / Re: Rear Brake Adjustment
« on: March 04, 2012, 01:59:58 PM »
My rear brake does not seem to hardly brake.  I feel a bit of slowdown with rear brake, but not much.  When stopped on hill, it barely keeps me from rolling backwards, for example.  Brake lever travel is OK.   Front disc is great.   

Any ideas on why rear works so poorly, or is it just the way it is?   Thanks

Just finished my first tank on my 09 P150 with 500miles on it - a former Garage Queen.  The gauge dropped like a rock at the 1/4 tank mark.   I filled as high as possible, rocked the scoot on center stand, and it took 1.3 gallons.   Hmmmm that was 160 miles since last fillup;  I doubt I'm getting 130mpg hauling my 230lbs around!

Love the acceleration of this scoot (my other ride is a Harley Heritage so was prepared for some underperformance)  and glad I got the scoot with 16" tires as it's more comfy than my wife's 12"-tire scoot for me.
