I have just noticed that the plastic lenses covering the front indicator bulbs are cracked around the screw holes, clearly they have been over tightened but where the factory? or at the shop. I will rattle the cage on tuesday as the shop is not open mondays. Bloody annoying Evil or Very Mad

The dealership was very understanding and ordered new lenses right away without even inspecting the bike! I suspect others will be having this problem as Super Mario at the factory has the torque on his power screwdriver set too high Laughing

. I was out in high winds driving rain and dark country roads last night, the lights are very good as standard and much superior to my last bike. The handling in severe cross winds was also good for such a light machine Wink

Nice to hear they are fixing it without fuss... thats how it should be! Very Happy

Lights can be improved if needed with a better quality bulb or HID conversion.. depends how much night time riding you do... and yes the bikes are decent in cross winds despite the small size and weight...

Well my new space ship 300 arrived last night (gone for white) and can`t wait to give it a ride.

This is a bloke who has ridden a TS1 for the past 10 years and had geared scooters for 28!

I have never ridden a non geared scoot but have been sold on the style and looks of the GTS range. Report to follow (onece it stops p..ssing down!) Very Happy

Cheers Jim....i switched my PX 200 (which i`ve now sold) cover over to the 300 with my existing insurer Footman James as i`ve still got the lammy covered on it too. Took a while for them to come back to me but just paid £15 to cover the admin switch.

Got mine from MSC and the 300 is flying out their shop as soon as they come in. After their next batch of 4 or 6 that`s it until the New Year i think!

Had my first spin ever on the GTS 300 today! Quick off the mark, very smooth ride and struggled to hear the engine on tickover. Absolute brill machine though and can see why the GTS range is in such high demand. Laughing

Went on a rideout today with Exit 17 SC, there were 2 GT200s and at least 3 GTS 250s plus an LX, these autos sure are catching on Very Happy

... mind you I did take my PX today.

Had my 1000km 1st service today for £40 which I though was OK.

Up to 2000 klics now, all going well an astoundingly capable machine! I do have a handling quirk that at low or crawling speeds if I take my hands off the bars they start to shake like a mini tank slapper, has anyone else experienced this ? its not dangerous or worrying but maybe an indication of tyre pressure incorect?
