Of course the new fluid will get diluted with old to some extent, but it’s about the best you can do. Regular maintenance will help prevent the fluid from ever getting to a terrible state.

    Hey I’m not trying to be a dick but not just some of them aren’t “the prettiest, I wouldn’t say that any of em are“ the prettiest..” I’ve seen some pretty welds an they look nothing like that. I have definitely seen worse too an it really doesn’t matter what they look like, as long as they penetrate both pieces an bond em together. I’m pretty sure that’s its main purpose, not to look pretty. I’ve seen beautiful weld fail and a some of the ugliest shit pass an probably still holdin strong today. Most people probably don’t have enough ambition to even do or try to do something like frame repair. I say good job.

    What about torque settings for all fasteners?

      I didn't provide torque specs for anything. A Honda service manual or Haines manual would be a good reference doe torque specs.

    It is easy to just think of it this way... The belt goes outside of all of the ribbed pullys, and then once you get it there, you have to feed it over the smooth pullys.

    Does the fluid have to be synthetic or as long as it meets GL-5, it is OK?

      As long as it's GL-5 it's ok.

    Hey Bernie, Thanks for the video, very well done I might add, without a lot of camera moving around getting me sick!!! I have a SMax identical to yours, same year same color. I love your new seat, but don't think I will pull the trigger with the cost and since I ride local nor more that 50 miles. I have a question on your back rack, I looked all over the place for a mount that would fit, no luck....I see yours is a Shad....I could have sworn I checked them out and they didn't have one to fit the 2018. Is yours a stock item from Shad or did you have to modify something from them? Thanks, also what is your trunk brand please. Couple of unrelated things if you don't mind me posting them for other people considering this bike or one that is similar. I come from riding motorcycles from years ago and things I found a bit odd riding a scooter, I should say this scooter. I am 5'8" and the leg room for me is just adequate, wishing I could stretch them out a little more sometimes.... you are correct is saying the standard stock seat tilts a little forward and would be annoying on a long trip so I think you made a great choice, that said it is no problem for quick hops around town or a fun ride in the country. Another difference is the travel of the shocks and the size of the wheels/tires....scooters do not have the shock travel compared to that a typical motorcycle, plus the wheel size being a good bit smaller than motorcycles makes for a pretty hard ride, bumpy roads can really slam you and your back. (speaking of which, did the new seat help that problem or hurt it) Pluses of this scooter.....I love the storage under the seat, the windshield flows the wind just above my head perfectly and the leg/feet shield of the scooter is crazy good in cooler weather or a little rain. This thing revs really high and has unbelievable pickup, even at 55 mph for and engine with the cc's less than my lawn mower!! Thanks Bernie for the video.....I don't know how you u tubers find the time to do this stuff, I would go nuts trying to set up different camera angles etc. very helpful to us who don't want to do it though!!!

      Hey Berry, Thanks!! The rack, as you observed is Shad brand. It was on the scooter when I bought it and seems very well made. I believe they list it for some years of S-Max but not others. I'm not sure what, if any, difference there is from year to year. It's possible the one on my scooter is the only one they make, and is listed as fitting other years but not mine. I have a couple different trunks I switch between, both are Givi. I believe they are 47 liters. These scooters are definitely built for smaller people. I am 5'6" and fit good but can tell I'm on the larger side of someone who can comfortably fit. Scooters definitely ride different than motorcycles. I enjoy both and just adjust my riding style as needed. The seat was an awesome upgrade and I'm very happy with it, but if I was just riding around town there is no way I could have justified the cost. The factory seat didn't cause and discomfort, but it was more fatiguing with long rides than the Corbin seat. Thanks for watching!!

      @@bennieaust Bennie, thanks for the info and getting back to me so soon, I will check out Shad again and see if they offer anything. By the way....neither one of us are great on name observation....you spelled my name wrong once, but I was worse by calling you Bernie twice!!! You know a thought on size of these bikes.....they are designed by Asians and heavily marketed and used in Asian countries, why would they design a product that is uncomfortable or too large for their targeted customer.....over here seeing a scooter is a little odd, over there they are everywhere and used a main source of transportation.

      @@barryjeter You're welcome! Maybe we should both just stick to "hay buddy" haha I agree, the Asian market is generally smaller people, but far more scooters. It just might not be worth reworking all the smaller scooters for the much smaller US market. I think scooters are super useful and hugely fun, but I'm in the minority.
