All good wiv the SH... Other scoots are faster / sleaker / offer better weather protection etc - but Slim / Big Wheels -Tool for the Job...Pete07bikes wrote:...I'm not sure what the service schedule is on the Mode, suspect it's like the Swing, belt at 15,000 miles and oil change every 2,500 - hopefully Paul with the sh125 & the Xmax 400 will chip in with that for me....
Service for the SH is 5000 oil - but i do every 2500 like the old spec says and advised by the dealer - for just under a litre why wouldnt you... specially for its commuting dutys.
Belt is 15000 - £32 have one for few weeks time..
Air filter is 10k - i clean @ 5 - £13... may cut out the paper pleat and fit some ram air foam to really penny pinch!
Valve clearance check is listed as 600 then 2500 miles - Dealer never did it at 600 - said they never need doing? - I'm now at 14000 and havent checked em - all sounds fine...
See a few modes on my commute - look 3/4 scale but i think are air cooled!?!.
Went SH over the mode as it's a daily work horse 35 miles a day - saying that the Visons i see get a hard life delivering pizzas... dont supose they get the oil changed @ 2500!
Got the knuckle guards - great for £35... keep a lot of wet and wind blast off - real recomendation! - the go Tucano Muffs when it gets cold...
If you get the knuckle guards (which i really recomend!) cut the plastic that makes it a 'round' around the hadle bar - otherwise you cant pull the from cover off clear of the bars with the guards in situ to change the headlight bulb
An open cubby hole for a drink bottle etc would be great on the SH...
Cant remember the differeance in price SH v SH Mode (+ Top Box) as a every day work horse i went SH, and compared the cost over 3 yrs with a train ticket - any more years is a bonus as i look at it...
