Looks like they ignored the handle with care label.

any damage?

TForce Freight formerly known as UPS Freight sucks. Not only was the crate smashed on the way from LA to Bend Or but it took 3 weeks to get here and they had to hand it off to another company to deliver. They told me that in addition to the three weeks transit it would be another 2 weeks until they could schedule delivery to my house. Their web page says 3 days transit time

There are a few paint scratches where the metal crate frame was rubbing and a slightly bent center stand. I'm not a perfectionist so it's OK.

Dealer should give you some sort of discount for the damage.

Smart Deals Now (seller) did offer to replace scratched parts but I declined. They also offered to send a free helmet, goggles, gloves but I declined because I already have those things. Good seller, bad shipping company.

Yesterday I thought I'd pull the belt cover to get the numbers off the belt so I could order a spare but the passenger foot pegs are in the way. I tried disconnecting the shock and dropping the engine down to clear but it wasn't enough. Looks like the engine pivot bolts will have to be removed to get the cover off, a big job. Thinking of cutting off the left hand foot peg so it will clear as I don't plan to ever ride with a passenger.

Also I tested cold weather starting at 19°F and it fired right up. EFI is great but I still prefer a carb for off road remote riding since I can always fix a carb.

No way I was thinking of doing the same. The peg itself doesn’t come off ? Shit I need to take a look. That’s BS

Mudflap · 05-02-2022, 10:44 PM

The peg comes off but the support is in the way. It occurs to me that maybe detaching the shock and lifting the rear wheel will rock the engine far enough back to clear.

Took the scooter up to 55 mph indicated today which it does without effort. Cruising at 55 for a long distance would be no problem. Will give it a few more miles before checking the top speed. It feels very light and nimble but the handlebars hit my knees in slow sharp turns (34" inseam + boots.). The CVT is going to take some getting used to but at least I haven't grabbed a handful of clutch and left a skid mark on the pavement. The mirrors are barely wide enough to see the cop car behind me. Front suspension is pretty good but the rear of course has a lot of unsprung weight.

I can see me doing that.

That would be a hard habit to break until i fly over the handle bars, Then I might remember.

i go from my scooters to my Ural just every day and I don't have any problem with the left rear brake or clutch lever.
Seller on Amazon sold out of the scooter which is good for me as I don't need another scooter

Got the plates this morning and took a short ride to check the accuracy of the speedometer. It's 5 mph optimistic at 45. Found an all aluminum phone mount on Amazon that attaches to the mirror base and clamps the phone tightly. Had to thread the mirror stem up another inch and add a couple nuts so the phone mount doesn't hit the plastic. Also the recommend tire pressure of 29/33 is too high IMO. I lowered it to 23/28 and it rode much better.

I used to have a Norton that had the rear brake on the left and shifter on the right. Crazy British :-)

BTW these are back in stock on Amazon.

I got tired of calculating actual speed on the inaccurate speedometer so I ordered a GPS speedometer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/22516427098...mis&media=COPY

Using my phone as a speedo works fine but it's a hassle taking it off everytime I leave the scoot.
