Nice, but remember.........Wheelies are against the law.......and you could injure someone..........and it would give motorcyclist a bad name..........and you could get a reckless driving ticket.......and...........and...........and...... ....and...........Oh forget it, go wheelie and have fun........

I'll bet you'll wheelie like it...

Sentinel

ouch.

and....do you cast aspersions on my reputation as a serious, law-abiding, responsible, adult rider who wears hi-viz, atgatt, and stays between the lines?

what is this "wheely" thing you are talking about?

MV Man

That looks like more fun than giving two toys to three kids...

It is an approved method of extending front tire life.

How fast can you go on this scooter?

Sentinel

Dunno.

No speedo.

And every time I open the throttle more than about 1/4 the front wheel tries to go Space-X on me.

I'm guessing maybe 75mph with current gearing.

Changing the countersprocket from 13 to 14 tonight for enhanced mpg/rpm sanity.

so, check this shit out:

i bought this bike from a dude who seemed squared away. bike in superb shape. tesst rode around the block twice. everything seemed SAT.

Thursday I rode 50 miles. My first ride on it. It was great.

Last night I decided to do an oil change.

I pulled the drain plug - AND NOTHING CAME OUT.

WTF?

There was NO OIL in there.

None.

Nada.

I was doing whoolies (closed course).

HORRIFIED!

So I fill it up and start it up.

ANd I can hear, at first, every moving part in the top end. Clackitty clackitty clackitty. I hadn't noticed before because I ride with earplugs.

And after like three seconds, as the oil fills the ports and channels I hear the top end quiet right down, like you put a pillow over it.

NOW it sounds like a Honda engine and not a John Deer.

I changed the other side as well (two oil reservoirs) and that oil looked new.

I think dude did the maintenance, changed the filter and drained both oils, but then forgot to fill the engine side. He only filled the tranny side.

I rode today, and it runs beautifully. What a fun ride.

Oh, BTW: I am totally to blame for the no-oil thing. My responsibility to check-out my ride.

Thanks to Honda.
