Hi All,
Better write some rubbish here before I "feel the wrath". My name is Dave and I'm an alc... Oops wrong forum. :lol: My name is still Dave, and while being new to scoots I'm no stranger to 'bikes. Have been on two wheels (and off!) for many a year.
I bought a J300 just before Xmas to keep my 16 year old company since he was new to two wheels, and a licence. Any ways... having kept him company the once; 3hrs at less than 30, I've decided to use the scoot more often for myself but needed something more pokey than the J. I'm collecting my X10 500 after the half term hols... and can't wait. :P

Hi Dave and welcome. First thing you need to do is check that the battery holder has been modded to make it waterproof as it is exposed to rear wheel spray. You will find that clutch is harsh to say the least, changing the sliders/rollers will improve it. If you want to improve the looks you need to add a top box as they look front end heavy. If you want to complete the look I have a black Ermax sports screen going cheap :D :D :D
P>S They are stunning looking scoot that would be greatly improved if it had the Burgman engine and drivetrain!
