Re: Scooter in winter
Thank god it is finished over here(the snow and ice)
The Tucano works very well but if i see your photo i get instantaneously the urge to take a hot shower
Btw; driving on ice and snow; last two weeks in the snow i tried to lower tire pressure to get better traction and this worked like a miracle, i got down to 1.1 bar front and 1.3 bar rear , this increased grip drastically and the steering wasn't all that bad even with my son at the rear it drove quite well.
Of coarse high speed is out of the question, i did not go over 70-80 km/h on a dry road.

Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with the package.

Motomufs are Tucano, but foot cover is OJ Atmosphere Metropolitane. Both are very good. Under mufs I have heated grips. It is nice.robber57 wrote:Thank god it is finished over here(the snow and ice)

According to air presure, I didn't try to make it lower. This year it is the first time, that I tried to drive in snow. Morning wather was nice, and when I ended job, there was snow ;(

Re: Scooter in winter
You should try lowering the tire pressure some time when you have snow, the difference is remarkable , with low pressure the bike feels quite safe to drive on snow.
