|
|
As a convert to scooters from big trail bikes, the only thing I find a challenge is the suspension. I often ride with a pillion and a regular route of mine has 21 speed humps.
I have got used to watching out for potholes/manholes and swerving past them, but the shock units do seem very basic, and sometimes you can't always dodge the bumps.
I know Bitubos do replacements but do they make a significant improvement?
Any other ideas?
(Its a 250 GTS )
Thanks |

All that leather and getting catapulted around the country by 100bhp.
Don't think I could handle either anymore! |

no theyre not that good.
mines lasted 2 months and it's pissing oil out.
i'm gonna try and sent it back.
your best off with the standard shocks with speedhumps, the bitubo won't cushion them as much as the standard jobby. _________________ revolution deathsquad! |

Get yours sent back mate, and give them hell if they are awkward.
There is no rush with my standard one Ross. _________________
