A review of the 2018 Suzuki UZ50 Lets 5. In my opinion this is a fantastic scooter to introduce you to the world or riding mopeds and motorbikes because of the smooth torquey 4-stroke powertrain, and the fact that it is nice and easy to ride.

i think it's also helpful to mention for new or prospective drivers: 1. it's twist and go, no gears, no shifting, etc. power output is also strong enough to take you anywhere and keep up with the urban traffic but also weak enough not to startle new drivers. 2. if you've ever driven a bicycle, you can drive this thing. it feels a lot like a powered bicycle, only you're sitting on a chair (and feels far sturdier). 3. engine is time tested and proven technology, parts are relatively cheap, and so servicing is much cheaper compared to a car. 4. rain pants DO fit well under the seat, removing the fear of being wet. these can also double as a windbreak in cold weather.

How easy do you think it would be to repaint one of these to a different colour? Would you have to somehow remove the panels to paint them?
@KiwiCarLife
@KiwiCarLife 4 жыл бұрын
Shouldn't be that hard tbh. The two white front panels are easy to remove (look for the video of me putting LED lights in it to see how to remove them). Mudflap on the front might require removing the wheel. Two rear side panels will probably be tricky to get off I imagine.

That's a bad azz little cycle. I had a 2007 DRZ 400 S and it was a bad bike as well. I knew it was a 4 stroke butt up till then I didn't realize that they 2 strikes were just about a thing of the past. But it was strange going from when I was a kid on those old 2 strokes. The way they would wind up and go off the line.. Was strange the way the 4 stroke kind of even seemed to bog out but I would look behind me and it was tearing things up. Anyway, I'm interested in these little bikes cuz I live in Cali and the weather is nice all the time. So that's 80mpg. That's crazy.

A really stupid question but how the hell do you unlock the under-seat storage? Bought one of these second hand and I can't figure it out? I know you need to use the normal key in the ignition somehow
@KiwiCarLife
@KiwiCarLife 4 жыл бұрын
Yep just put the key in and turn it to the left without pushing it in. Pushing it in with the steering turned to the left and turning the key locks the steering and turning to the right without pushing the key in turns it on. So yeah turn left without pushing key in

Hi there, I wonder if this scooter allows a passenger at the back?
@KiwiCarLife
@KiwiCarLife 6 жыл бұрын
I've had passengers on the back before and it copes just fine, however unlike a lot of scooters, it doesn't have rear foot pegs, or a lot of room, so especially if the person driving it has a bag on, it's not very good for long distance. But it's certainly possible.

Hey mate, you wouldn't happen to know how to replace a piston ring or a valve seal? My UZ has been burning through oil like no tomorrow. So I've done a bit of searching and these two things seem to be the most common problems (Note: no oil is leaking, so I assume it's burning). I'm pretty keen to learn to do it myself, but I don't have an owners manual, so not too sure where to start.

Apparently it is the most fuel efficient/economical scooter on the market with it being 4 stroke and fuel injected. Also very reliable. Catch with them as mentioned is they don't do well with hills due to being 4 stroke. But if hills arn't much of an issue then this would be up around the top of the list of scooters to purchase in NZ for the power range. For a more hill suitable 50cc the Piaggio is meant to be the one to go for.
