    OK so you're talking a fairly large amount of time at 100KPH+ but what about 15 mins at a time? Would I be expecting to be causing damage due to heat? Also what RPM are they actually doing at 100KPH?
    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    I believe Yamaha engines are damn reliable (according to some Yamaha riders).

    So.....

    Get a Scorpio


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    When you brought your Yamaha Scorpio, did it come with a toolkit?

    I just brought one and we couldn't find the toolkit under the seat....Maybe it was mistakingly taken out. Just want to know whether they are suppose to come with one.,

    Karen
    Mine came with a tool kit and I bought mine a few months ago. I would contact your dealer if I were you.

    Only had mine for a few days, still learning but a good bike for lady's.
    If I can just stop stalling it, I might get enough nerve to go for a decent ride. LOL

    Ah yeah, my first day I tried to ride it out on the road and stalled just after pulling out of the drive... then I spent a few hours in a carpark just stopping and starting until I had that pretty much down, and after that I've only really stalled doing things like hill starts, or forgetting to clutch when I stop lol...

    I honestly lost count of the times I stalled mine...pretty sure it was way over the 50 mark haha slow learner I guess, an it look me a few days 2 even get out of da driveway! but just get out there as much as possible an as often as possible, If I can get it, pretty sure any1 can!!

    um I'm no expert yet lol but I'd say take it slow and if its nice an quiet try slowin down quite early b4 the intersections and changin down as you go so by the time you get there your in about second ....
    an also if your've stopped and not sure wot ur in just keep goin down til it won't go further, I also find if ya not sure if ur in first or second it helps to let da clutch out half way then pull it back in an try goin down again, and that definately wil get u into first.
    oo an if I'm really not sure lol...i flick it up half way an see if the neutral light goes on and then u no exactly where u are

    hope this doesn't confuse u more!!
