They are meant to be pretty good though, Shinko are an old South Korean company and a few of their models are old Yokohoma designs (Shinko brought a pile of designs and the molds from Yoko www.shinkotireusa.com/about ) Main factors for me was availablity in small sizing and they are not rock hard "plastic" Chinese tyres I know a lot of guys that run Shinko dual sport/trail tyres on old Honda CTs and Cubs and swear by them.

A kickstand for my vespa. I hate the center stand. Also new grips that are exactly the same as my grips, but not broken. My endcap came of my right side grip.

I bought a new 3/4 helmet, a Cardo Freedom 2+ bike to bike intercom so I can talk to my wife while riding, another battery tender adaptor and dual 5 volt usb that plugs into that adaptor to charge my phone and/or gps. I'm loving the Yamaha Smax

Today I ordered a flyscreen for Violet and today arrived the 2t secondhand carb box and oil pump I ordered for just incase spares as the check valve is letting oil seep through when scooter stood over a week which ain't very often. Then when I checked face book a nice gentleman is sending me a spare check valve assy he has i.e. ball bearing, bush and spring for nothing

You can sometimes repair a check valve by cleaning the seat bushing and then re-seating the ball bearing with a light tap from a piece of wooden dowel and a hammer.

I ended up winning a Scooterworks gift card, and the first thing purchased was a side stand. It's done payed itself off over and over again.

I really Like having both stands on my scoots. I use the center stand at least every time in fuel up.
Notice the great MPGs on th new Smax? I'm pleased.

I didn't order or buy but some kind gentleman I don't even know on the lml UK page on facebook is sending me a check valve,spring and bush for free. I offered him payment or a donation to a charity of his choice and he declined. Nice to see people willing to help others.

I hate kickstands, and need my center stand. I drive to the beach and even with the center stand, risk damaged mirrors and bodywork in soft ground. Lost a brake lever WHILE on the center stand when the bike tipped over in a March blizzard. On level pavement, at home. It sucks to have your new scooter dumped when you weren't even riding it, and were sleeping. Dumped by Mother Nature, not me nor a vandal. YMMV.

I don't use a kickstand or a center stand, I just set the brake on my 3 wheel R-trike. Nature or soft ground don't bother it
