Title: I'm BACK! Post by: zoomug on July 05, 2022, 14:47:31 Hi all, long time no post.
Since my last post, I'm now on my 5th scooter. :o I traded in my original 2012 X10 350 for a Kawasaki J 300 (nice bike but too cramped, found it didn't have enough legroom in the end) Traded the J 300 for a Burgman 400 .. great bike Traded the Burgman 400 for a 2017 new style Burgman 400 (again, great bike but missed simple things like no underseat light, so heated grips e.t.c) Traded this in January 2022 for a 2015 Burgman 650 executive. (even found this a little cramped believe it or not, and very heavy. Too heavy especially in town but good on the open road) So, traded this in for a 2013 Piaggio X10 350, had damage to the plastics on one side, indicator smashed but low miles of 3,400 and a full service history. The X10 350 is now all repaired, serviced, mot'ed, in great condition, and back on the road, and I'm using it as a daily commute. I've found that its much smoother that the Burgman, especially the suspension. Lots better on fuel, getting around 75 mpg. When I got the bike, I was always aware of their inherent fault of the open fuse box, so I have designed and made a plastic shielding using my 3d printer, to hopefully keep off the spray from the rear wheel getting into the electrics and if I can figure out how, I will upload a photo of it. That's all for now.. Regards Dave Title: Re: I'm BACK! Post by: Mottza on July 05, 2022, 21:09:28 So you've gone full circle 😁

Title: Re: I'm BACK! Post by: zoomug on July 20, 2022, 14:41:44 Yes, the cable comes out through the slot in the side.
It's not perfect, but much better than stock, hopefully keeping out most of the spray. Title: Re: I'm BACK! Post by: Solo on July 29, 2022, 15:31:57 nice to see you started on the ~X10 went through some bikes and come back to the X10 nice to be on a Piaggio always have the leg room and comfort
