Hi community,
Just mentioned in the previous post, i manage to ride my Vespa GTS300 ie white on the busy Singapore road for the past week. My previous ride was a sports tourer, Yamaha FZ16.. Generally the vespa ride was good however i am facing some questions and help perhaps the community can advice.
1) My pillion complaints that her foot is not long enough for the foot-pegs!
This seems like a common issue as my wife, due to her shorter legs, couldn't reach for the original foot pegs on the GTS therefore her feet is left dangling on the side. Definitely not as comfortable as her previous experience on motorbikes. Understand the SIP is selling the adapter.. However it is really pricey when it is converted into SGD....
2) The vespa seems to be very heated up and the engine was huffing and puffing!
After a ride for 45 mins due to heavy jams in the rush hours, when i reach home, the vespa generally is very hot.. Hot air seems to release from the side and i am wondering if this is normal. Also just before i reach my carpark, the engine suddenly huffing and puffing which i was shocked as it was my first ride.
3) Vibrating handlebar
I personally Vespa vibrates quite badly.. Especially when the vehicle is stationary at the red traffic light. Any help?
4) Running-in
May i know the guide in the FAQ for GTS is in miles or KM?
Hope i can have some experts views to enhance my riding experience..
THanks everyone!
