I too upgraded to a Maxi, was looking at both the Burgman and Silverwing. Previously owned the Honda reflex, so I went with the Silverwing.
I'm sure either is a good choice, the burgman has several...

I've been itching lately, finally pulled the trigger, traded out the 06 Reflex for a 2012 Silverwing with 6k. It's a little rough and bone stock except for the Shad box mount.
Gave 3k + the Reflex,...

Reflex full of gass wont start

I'm looking at my post nearly one year ago. Reflex runs out of gass early. Now the fuel pump has completely died. I used a ketchup bottle with fuel and it runs fine, disconnect the bottle and it runs...

Silverwing vs Burgman ?

I'm looking to upgrade the old reflex. Just wanted an opinion from a previous owner/rider. I'm sure I'll take a hit on economy, but it's the comfort level I need to get the best of. Pretty sure they...

Thanks again Bandito, the rear tire has served well so far.

Tire wear

Cheapeto, one member on this site turned me on to the Dark Side. In essence, you mount a car type tire on the rear. I've been on the same rear tire for 20k plus miles now. Lots of tread left, you...

2nd times the charm

So, I was needing a new front tire. I stopped in my sons scoot shop "Ruckhouse" in Orlando. I see a new Michelin power sitting off to the side. It's an exact match to the tire needed. It is however...

Ruckus

I've got a son that's deep in the ruckus scene. He runs a shop in Orlando. Those guys rode the crawl, said it was good times. They have gone to events nationwide as well as Hawii.

Bandito,
I went through 3 different belts last time in order to realize the Bando belt sold as the replacement IS NOT the same dimension as the Honda belt made by Bando. I think I tried Gates and...

I'm a believer

It's been almost one year since my last belt breaking/ replacement. I commute on this 2006 Reflex daily, and was told that the belt would last app 10k miles.
Thought that was rubbish. Opened it up...

Yes, I did try the cap. Both times I did remove the cap to physically see the fuel level. The only remedy seemed to be adding fuel. I'm thinking that adding fuel was just a coincidence, cause it was...

Out of gass

I tore that thing down this AM. Shit there is a lot plastic before you can remove the gas tank. The tank was pristine, no debris, no water and no rust. All fuel lines looked good and the filter was...

2006 Honda reflex runs out of gas early

Owned this scoot two years, and burned lots of fuel. Twice now it's run out of gas and the subsequent fill up tells me it's still got over a gallon in the tank, shit I can see fuel in the tank.
It's...

No spark

do you have a side stand on that model? If the switch goes bad it will kill the engine, like it does when you lower it with the engine running. Remove the switch and " open the circuit". If your...

Head replaced

The jetting change was Far too large. Go back to the 108 and try it. If drastic improvement then go up in size. I would imagine a max of 115 but it's really trial and error. Check the plug to achieve...

At least 250cc

I agree 100% that if you are going to hit the highway you'll need to maintain 65-70 mph. I haven't seen a scoot under 250 cc that will do that comfortably.
I too searched for the minimum scoot to...

Looks like an air cooled 4 stroke. Lot of smoke is an indication of oil being burned in the combustion chamber. The # ONE cause I've seen is over filling the crank case with oil.
