It was fabulous, a heavy beast, but once on the move most of the weight seemed to disappear, very comfy too, but too heavy a bike for a old man like me. Lol

Yeh new intake rubbers were one of the 1st things I bought for the Tiger, the original ones were badly cracked and had gone very hard. My problems stemmed from the bike being stood for years, the middle carb was corroded very badly (but Bruce gave me a spare set) so the middle carb was replaced. I may have got it running sooner and better if I had a ultrasonic cleaner, carb cleaner and toothbrush were not the best for cleaning out the internal passage ways. Even with the Carbtune Pro that Bruce gave me, balancing the carbs was a fiddle, it took me more than several attempts to get it right.

Yeh after gawd know how many time I had to take them of and and re install them back on I am quite proficient with them. I still have the carb balancer that Bruce gave me with the Tiger, they sure got some use. I would post them to anybody who would use them, but the cost for P&P may be high.

Yes a automatic never sounds as good manual, they just droan.........my German pal sold his old manual scoot for the same reason, the poor bugger now has to manage with his GTS and 2023 T Max 560.

12.5g...13.5g....13.8g.......i think..........you could go lighter, it would be like riding a 2 stroke though.

That would make his eyes water

Some scooter afficionados use a mixture of weights, 3 standard weights, and 3 lighter weights, results? Some say it works, I have never tried it because I am too tight to buy 2 sets of rollers .

Yeh...lighter weight, improved acceleration, slight loss of top speed, and a reduction in kpl (mpg) I sent a bit of a PM to you

Whoops! I looked again.....33.5g

According to Kymco the standard rollers weigh 30.5g.....for all round riding just stick with standard weight rollers

Would it have been better photo with a cat?

The fit & finish on my CFMoto 650Tr (2014 model) was very good, nothing corroded, rusted or fell off! After 5 years of ownership it stood as good as the day I bought it. But it was let down by the shitty Ducati Veglia electrics. It only lived on for 6 months (dodged that bullet ) after the new owner acquired it from me, I think it has gone to the scrappers now, no sign of it on the DVLA website. But buying another CFMoto would not worry me (not like I can afford one ) in the slightest.

Look on YouTube, there is a video on there, it is easy enough to remove the tub to gain access. https://youtu.be/ApwFuz4H0rw?si=AxsmWDVlRalAaSKY

Maybe just my scoot.......I just remove 4 nuts and the tub pulls out and all the engine is easily accessed..... best of luck.

Spark plug replacement is fiddly, but doable......on my scoot I remove the under seat tub to get to the spark plug, don't know if you can do it on yours, which make it a doddle to do. https://youtu.be/uyKZ0jsiRvk?si=6_TshItbNecWLXB_

Photo, or it never happened Got scoot out of the shed, let it warm up for a minute, then put it back in the shed, wish I could rustle up some enthusiasm.

And it's 10c here.

I don't work on my car any longer, no tools or facilities, i can't even do a oil & filter change Snow!....you are use to it, and most welcome to it A white Christmas?....i am a old twat, but I cannot remember when we last had one, we are more likely to have a white Easter than a white Christmas.

It looks fabulous!....have fun.

That's my excuse, and I am sticking to it...

Seems so!
