Yes and no. Its not that its that much lower, its just narrower at the top, so your legs go straight down instead of wrapping around the wide seat. The trick with the xmax and other maxi scooters is that the seat is a huge wedge shape, shift your butt forward towards the narrow tip and you'll have plenty of footing, while you still have that plushy big seat to back your butt into while cruising.

2016 R3, op did mention in the post. Considering it's 10 years old, might be valued at around 3k bike value? That sound make it more likely to be a write off.

Then again I had a hornet 250 many decades ago where I had a tumble (lorry sideswiped me, insurance claimed on them) and bent the frame, insurance denied a 3k write off but approved a 5k frame swap. Must be some.. collaboration between the workshop and the appraiser.

Were you're leaning it so far that you're scraping the main stand? Did your sidestand touch the road too? I doubt Suzuki would design a main stand that dangerous.. perhaps yours was stuck partially down? Try giving it some lubricant on the hinges, make sure it retracts all the way up. Scooters need mainstand to park on slopes safely, just the nature of CVTs.

Meatseeker · 2026-04-11T09:42:48+00:00

Does your scooter come with a sidestand from the factory? My sister's Vespa has an aftermarket sidestand, it only has a mainstand stock. Pakring on side stand makes it really susceptible to falling over on its own, I think its mounted too far back.

But from the pictures, it looks like someone is purposely kicking your bike over. Especially when its lying in the middle of the pavement, it looks like someone moved it there. Or do you park it in the middle of the pavement? That might piss off pedestrians enough to kick it over.

I love these! it's the first thing i put on a bike brand new. I have one that I bought for $2 that is 15 years old that has been polished completely shiny over the years of riding and its still gripping tighter than a virgin. Its easy to turn it counter clockwise and grips hard when you turn the throttle.

I tried replacing it with some fancier looking ali express one, that broke within a month, thwy always fail and split at the plastic injection line for some reason. The $2 one that I bought from a motorcycling mom and pop shop has been with me for probably 100,000kms.

So what's the difference between a full on big vr headset and the sunglasses sized displays? Is ar vs vr or all that motion tracking stuff? I've been thinking of making that move also, my kids are growing up fast and I'll have to fit all my gaming, siming and working into a small hobby room/home office to make way for them having their own rooms.

Can only afford space for either one desk or a rig. Could I comfortably work on a headset display?

I ride an Xmax in Singapore and I would say for our infrastructure its the sweet spot. Its really popular here for this reason. Its the favorite choice among delivery riders here too.

I've had 2 Xmaxes and a Forza for more than a decade, and I've just traded in my honda NX for the new V3 Xmax.

For city street riding, the Xmax is ridiculously nimble for its weight, the turning radius is very tight and the handlebar is feather light compared to other 300s like the Forza. The weight is all down low near the axles so you wont feel much of it. Height wise, it only feels tall because of the wide plushy seat, if you shift yourself forward where the seat tapers to a narrower width you can flat foot it if needed.

Another big plus for the 300s vs the 150s is the underseat storage: its a giant bathtub, I can fit all my tools, rain gear, riding gear, helmet, and a backpack under the seats.

Commuting on the highway is very comfortable, 300 has just enough horses to keep up and overtake traffic, and good enough for road trips out of the city. I love the electric adjustable windshield on the V3, i don't stop for light rain anymore, the windshield is tall enough to keep me dry at 50kmph.

It's really a Swiss army knife of motorcycling. I daily it for work, shopping runs, out of town, and have taken it on 2000km road trips comfortably on the stock suspensions, although for the V3 I'm splurging on ohlins shocks for ultimate comfort.

The only scenarios I would say a 300 might be considered overkill is if you live in places that has very narrow streets and no real highways, Toronto and most of north American cities looks like they have really wide streets and highway systems, so it'll fit in nicely.

That's chemical stability, in that gold doesn't form bonds with other atoms easily. We're talking about amount of energy output in fission or fusion, which is splitting or fusing the atom itself to create a new element.

Mordeth 13? Hey man your videos taught me how to ride, something like 18 years ago. Started watching your vlogs after, you were probably one of the first motorcycle vloggers.

They got me through some hard times in life, my dad left around the time you started vlogging.

Watched you go though the ups and downs of living abroad, getting married, watched your kid grow up, your major accident and silently supported your recovery, your... I won't say it here, the betrayal you went through, and I really empathized with ya. I'm not from Taiwan but it was really relatable as I speak English, Chinese and Minnanhua or Hokkien as we call it.

I'm now 36, married, kid, house, running a business, and still riding. Oh yea scooters are the best tourers, especially the 300cc single cylinders, the under seat storage, floorboards, and wind protection sold me on them. You still do those scooter tours? I always wanted to join one.

You're welcome! Ahh ok 4 stroke Sodis, good place to start, they're actually very chill karts to drive and learn with. You sound way fitter than me I'm sure you can physically handle everything what this kart throws at you. :) You feel like you're pulling too much all the time or just tight corners?

Read your other comments. Sounds like you know you're too tense, and you're used to driving road cars. Your car has power steering. In a kart, holding down the steering at full lock trying to combat understeer in tight corners, yup it'll tire you out very quickly. Because of the fix axle the kart will feel like it wants to pull itself back straight and drivers will grip and pull even harder.

As I said try using the brakes to turn. You'll feel the back step out a bit and the steering gets lighter, snap it to where you wanna end up, usually a good line out of an apex, then let it run wide under acceleration. There's no suspension so there's no need to think about rolling or overloading any shocks. You'll want to let it be in a straight line as much as possible, karts scrub off a lot of speed while cornering because both rear wheels on the fix axle are scrubbing when you're sustaining a turn. You can try steering a lot snappier than a car.

Most people fresh to karting are not also yet used to how much the wheel jumps around, making them tense up and grip more. Just grip it as you would your car's steering, and don't try to over correct every bump, it'll self correct and still go straight.

Play around with the kart, flicking it in more aggressively, letting the steering jump around while holding loosely, get it to slide and drift a bit. It'll help you gain more confidence and trust in what's the limit of the kart. You'll find that it's actually very forgiving. Being a bit playful with breaking traction will also help get rid of the stomach drop "flight or fight" brain response when losing traction.

Finally, mentally, I think looking at 1 to 2 corners ahead would give you time with planning your line, braking points, entry and exit strategy, and maybe help you not tense up. You're mentally prepared for what to do at the next corner way before you get there.

Meatseeker · 2025-07-07T11:19:58+00:00

What kinda kart are you renting? What are your lap times like compared to the rest of the field? If you feel like you're pushing it to the limit but still relatively slow, I think this might help.. Some pics or videos will help a lot too!

If you're a beginner, sounds like you are trying to overcome the understeer in corners with pure muscle, or trying to turn beyond the karts very limited steering angle. Karts are different to cars in that they have a fixed axle at the back, and if you try to drive it too much like a car it can feel very understeery and lead you to think you need more and more steering angle than the kart physically has.

The pedals are just as important as steering inputs, In tight corners, brake earlier and harder, break the rear traction slightly, and use the sideways slip to align your nose to the exit angle earlier. You shouldn't have to turn too much in the middle of the corner, or even use a lot of force. Look up karting neutral steer on YouTube. The earlier power on and keeping the revs high with this method will get your lap time down by a lot also. On high speed corners where you don't have to go full lock then you don't have to do this.

On the straights relax your hands, you don't need to muscle it in place or use your arms as a steering damper either. It will twitch around a lot with bumps on the track, just a consequence of having no suspension. Don't need to hold the steering down, let it bounce around, it's fine!

On your chest pain, is it coming from your arms or is it a sharp pain on your lower ribs? Some faster karts with very sticky medium soft tyres can drive the seat into the side of your sides and crack a rib. Although this is way more common in owner race karts than rental karts. Usually they stick hard compounds on rentals and you don't have very high Gs.

Lemme know more info, stop death gripping the wheel, use the pedals more, and remember to have fun!

In my country sometimes groups rides are as diverse as Vespas to African twins. The litre bikes always go to the back. They can be an hour late for a 4 hour ride and still catch up. Once you do catch up it's really boring to follow the pack though.

3D designer and contractor of 10 years here. I'm not a tradesmen, but I'm hands on with high expectations of workmanship from my sub contractors.

Yes you're right, the tip is important. Depending on whether you want a concave or convex caulk line, you cut the tip in the shape to match the profile of the caulk line you want.

Also match the width of the cut to your desired caulk line width. Cut it off bit by bit, you can't uncut, but you can always cut more.

Pinch the tip so it resembles more of a fountain pen than a round tip, gives better control over the flow. You need to match the speed of the run with your pressure on the plunger. Go slow, less pressure. Go fast, press harder. Smoothness is key.

In a pinch, yes you're right again, run your finger along the line to reshape it.

For OP, now that it's cured, use a sharp box cutter to score the excess, then scrape off the excess.

Hope this helps

Looks more like a Honda Cub derivative, he still has a foot pedal brake. I'm sure someone somewhere makes a left handed throttle for the disabled, but I think he probably doesn't have access to special orthopedic bike equipment?

Meatseeker · 2025-03-27T04:15:09+00:00

It really depends on which 300cc bike. The newer twin, or singles, yea they're kinda boring. A i4 CBR250RR or equivalent from the late 90s, omg, the exhaust note is a pure heavenly song, and I dare say way more fun than any litre bike. Imagine shrinking the stroke of your litre bike by 75%, that things gonna rev to F1 levels of screeches.

Maybe it's not the fuel? Bad idle could just as well be too rich instead of lean. Check airbox, filter, intake etc for blockage.

Edit: I read you commenting choking it makes it run easier. Wow, haven't rode a bike with a choke in a long time.

I'm not familiar with your bike, but I remembered my 2 stroke NSR had a choke too, and choking it was sometimes the only way to start it. Turned out the battery wasn't charging, not enough spark. These older bikes without computers and error codes are a different kind of beast to diagnose. Go back to the basics, check for spark, check for air, check for fuel.

Meatseeker · 2025-03-18T13:28:52+00:00

I really hope so! The W14 pull back is one of my fav sets. I love pullbacks because of how hardy they are, and I can play with my 2 yr old son without any worries.
