My Scoot has arrived!

[iBob]

It took a few months, but now she is here!

Got any cleaning tips for the rear end? It looks mighty cramped in there.

Cheers,
Bob

Very nice 😎. I sure hope you thoroughly enjoy it. As for the washing I just lightly jet wash mine as it gets well messy, I have the C600 Sport and put a mudguard on it as it totally needed it.

Hey Bob, Great choice. Only tip I have has nothing to do with cleaning your bike....The bike capabilities may exceed your own. Have a blast. Go far. Go fast. Be safe.

Looks great iBob. Hope it gives you lots of enjoyment.

 

[exavid]

Looking good! Enjoy your fine machine.

Looks great. I clean mine with Plexus cleaner after almost every ride. Just spray it on and wipe it off. Keeps it clean and shinning.

I clean mine by riding it in the rain...

The dealer washes mine when they do a major service whether it needs it or not.

Lemon Pledge. Good for the tupperware and windshield. Smells good too. Inexpensive. I've been using the stuff for nearly thirty years on airplanes, boats and bikes.

 

[iBob]

Thanks for all the great advice!

tupperware? You mean all the vinyl bits?

Anyone know the torque settings for the rear wheel nuts?

Cheers,
Bob

 

[Bornfree]

Congrats! Ride safe! Can't imagine why you'd be pulling off rear wheel nuts on a new bike

Finally picked up my 2017-plated C 650Sport. Highlight package, Anti-Theft Alarm and BM Navi V. Required a Train travel from Melbourne/Vic to Albury/NSW as the best Dealer offer was there. Worth the trip! Enabled me to have a 'spirited' ride home ~ 360 kms about 20kms on dirt - just for the heck of it!
Good break-in ride, bedding-in the brakes and getting myself accustomed to this new ride. Happy happy!

Now, off to attach some more accessories:

Throttle Lock from Tom Dowell (nice piece of engineering!)

louder horn (either Hella or Nautilus Compact)

Shoo-Roos (you guys call'em Deer Whistles)

indicator emblems ex Schroeder

a wind-deflector from MVerholen

and a Givi pack rack.
Shall post picks when all done.

Looks great! Enjoy! And yes, please do post pics of all your mods ... there is a gallery just for that very thing

I gotta tell yah, D'man, that white is singularly spectacular. Great choice!

 

[exavid]

Those "shoo shoos" as you folks call 'em don't work on deer. Hope your critters pay more attention. Make sure you don't put 'em on backwards. That will attract critters.

 

[dukdukman]

eaxvid, good advice

I've got 'Shoo-Roos' (SHOOwing away KangaROOS) on my R1150GS beemer and for 80.000km here in downunder never bumped into one (a Kangaroo that is). I know, not an 'exact' science, but it's all in the (my) head ....

I'm not sure what value the Shoo-Roos offer. I've never had 'em on any of my bikes and have never had a kangaroo incident.

 

[sjambok]

I've had Shoo-Roos on all my bikes for years and it has been money well spent. In over 40 years of riding in Wisconsin and Georgia, I have never hit a Roo.
