| Hello All, Just thought I'd introduce myself. First foray into Scooterdom (if there is such a word). Collected my 2002 model last weekend. Mightily impressed! Little bit different from my Bonneville T100, but I think I'll soon adapt and get used to it . Already done a couple of hundred miles and am already liking the automatic/comfort of the bike. Just serviced it (oil/filter/plugs/air filter) and it sounds like a sewing machine. Has a fair bit of history with it (belt/roller change at 16k miles). Just done 23k now. Best regards Fish |

| Fish,
I have an '02 Swing, too. Runs like a top. I've put a thousand miles on mine so now it has 15,000 miles on it. I gather that if we take care of these, they will last up to 80,000 miles. I hope I have an opportunity to test that claim.
This is a great forum and offers a massive amount of information about your scooter. I'm sure you will find it rewarding in many ways.
Welcome! |
