Thanks for that Susan. Great to hear! The grips take the edge off and make life bearable, but these ‘lite’ versions don’t get super hot. The full power oxford grips I have on my big bike are a lot lot better. Still.. it’s a compromise on the scooter because the battery and charging ability is so small. If I were doing this job again I’d probably just use the supplied connections direct to battery, rather than soldering. It wasn’t worth the hassle really 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for subscribing!

@@MechitBetter asked mechanic to connect ignition as no-one can switch on if parked. Although he recommended honda, then honda people sold me Oxford retro for my honda vision 110 £80. I'm paying to get fitted as well but sure will B worth it. Thanks😊

susan cassells No worries. Sounds like you’ll have toasty warm hands in no time. Enjoy!

Ha, maybe that would be fun. Maybe that would be catastrophic. We’ll think about it 😁

Cheers fella. Thanks for watching!

Cheers Foggy. We all come up with our own solutions. I’m sure yours would have worked just the same. Having tested the grips I think handguards might be a good addition as you say. The grips on their own aren’t fabulous. The other Oxford ones I have on the big bike are super hot. These ‘light’ ones are less so.

Brill, and thanks for subscribing. Hopefully you can get some use out of the videos. How long have you had your 110? Any issues with it?

@@MechitBetter its 3 yrs old , ive had it a year, so its pretty good nick really. I was just about to tackle a service on it when i found your videos , which is great. My main bike is a tdm 900, but ive done more miles on my little scoot knocking about local than on the tdm, its just so easy to hop on and go. Again thanks for the videos as its my first scoot and was a bit dubious bout working on it. The only issue is the front brake caliper, the screw that holds the retaining pin is solid and cant undo it , so its either been over tightened at assembly or theyve put loctite on it.looks like its never been apart. But ill wait till pads are screwed , and just try to keep the caliper clean.

The calliper pin is a known fault. They all stick in. I take mine out regularly and clean/lubricate it. Try everything you can to get it out, otherwise you’ll have to replace the calliper when the pads need changing. I’m the same as you, I do more miles on my scooter than big bike really. It’s easy as you say. Handy for knocking about on and really fuel efficient. It just makes sense. I’d never had a scooter before either so it’s been an interesting learning curve. They’re not so different though really 👍

@@MechitBetter cheers👍

Cheers for that 👍 The diagnostics stuff is under the seat, on top of the petrol tank. You can short the terminals with a bit of wire to read/reset codes. The error codes flash on the dash. I’ve actually not done it myself, but there’s a video on the ‘Suzuki Address 110i Owners Group’ Facebook group that’s more or less followable. Facebook won’t allow me to share it here though. The relevant post is by a fella called Jjong Santos. I’m stuck away from the bike during lockdown, but if I can ever get back to it I’ll try to make a video about it. Good luck!

@@MechitBetter Many thanks, you guys are AWESOME, the best.

Thanks! Good luck with your bike 😁

Cheers Alex. Is this high idle thing happening all the time? I don’t know if the idle is even adjustable at home, what with it being an ECU controlled fuel injection system. The ECU should be controlling the idle which will differ depending on all sorts of factors such as ambient temperature etc. If it’s just noticeably higher than it should be, and consistently so.. my guess would be that there’s a slight air leak. Hard to say without seeing the bike!

@@MechitBetter hey many thanks for the reply. Will have another look for leaks. Think your right about it not being adjustable it was just my mate has a Chinese 125 which is injected and the tick over is a screw, so I thought it would be straight forward. It just happened and feels the idle tick over is just that too high. The bike is fine and the wheel doesn't turn when on the stand it also sometimes goes away and eases off when you at the lights. Anyway will have another look, all the best

It might sound daft but it could just be because it’s hot out. I think the ECU dumps more fuel in to keep the engine cooler. If you’ve been working on the bike just double check the fuel pipe hasn’t been knocked loose. Good luck 👍

I don’t know of any myself, but I’m sure they must exist. The Suzuki Address 110i Facebook group might be your best bet for an answer on that one as a few of the members have modified theirs for extra power/speed 👍

No worries! 😁

Apologies. It didn’t seem to merit a video on its own, but it was easy to do. I just blasted the hell out of the exhaust with a wire wheel on the angle grinder to remove the few bits of rust, and key up the remaining factory paint. Then I just slapped on a thin coat of VHT (very high temperature) woodburner/stove paint. It only needs to be thin. It sticks very well. Then I left it to dry overnight before putting the exhaust back on the bike and going for a ride to cure the paint. Seems to have done the trick for now 👍

Oh, and I just used a 1” paint brush. Nothing fancy. The paint does a good job of levelling itself out flat so long as you don’t put it on too thick.

Thanks man😀 love the vids keep em coming

Thanks, will do!

Glad you’re enjoying it Alan. Adding a windscreen has mixed reviews on the Facebook group. Some people love it, others say it directs all the wind at your face. If you’re taller, you might find it more uncomfortable that going without. As for tyres, why would you want to go fatter? If it’s for aesthetic reasons then it’s your choice, if it’s for any other reason you’d be best sticking with standard profile - Just make sure they’re quality tyres like Michelin Pilots etc.

@@MechitBetter Thanks for the quick reply going to test the windshield and see what it’s like as for the tyres it’s just that they are very skinny was worried about grip but il stick with ur advice I got a2017 black address was also thinking of adding a few decals thanks for the videos hope ur channel really takes off it you definitely deserves it from Ireland 🇮🇪 big thanks

Definitely stick with the standard profile tyres if you’re worried about grip. It’s a common mistake to think wider rubber equates to more grip. On a bike as light as the Address, all you’d be doing is spreading the little weight it has out even further meaning you’re more likely to lose grip or aquaplane. Think about an ice skate on ice. It cuts through the ice and provides traction. If you put your wellies on and try the same thing, you’d be all over the place. I have Pilot Streets on the Address and ride it like I stole it, and I’ve never wanted for grip. Maybe a bit more speed sometimes! Speaking of which, adding more rubber will just slow you down. Think road bike vs mountain bike. Suzuki really know what they’re doing when they design things. Don’t worry about it. Just be the best rider you can be and enjoy 👍

@@MechitBetter thanks again for your knowledge I’m just going to invest in good tyres and I’m looking for the video of ur Ireland trip hope you enjoyed our beautiful little country ur more than welcome anytime and next time I could tag along truly helpful and entertaining videos if you had any suggestions on decals would be much appreciate thanks again

Cheers Alan, much appreciated. The Scotland/Ireland trip is a two parter. The first part is here >> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ2gltuJucCdeGg.html We had a cracking time despite the weather. Ireland is really beautiful. I’m sure we’ll be back some day 😀

Cheers Jim. Thanks for watching. We don’t get much time for making videos these days, but we’ve not ruled it out. I’ve still got the Suzuki Address, so anything’s possible 👍

@@MechitBetter no problem mate, great news that you guys are busy keep it up👍🏼 hope to see more soon

I’m not sure to be honest. I seem to recall that maybe there is. Your best bet might be to ask on the ‘Suzuki Address 110i Owners Group’ on Facebook 👍

Just had a look, and the socket is on top of the petrol tank. You can short two pins with a paper clip etc. And read the error codes from the dashboard. There’s a video on the Facebook group, but it won’t allow me to share it here. Look for a post by a fella called Jjong Santos 👍

Ha. Unfortunately the dog was busy and i didnt have any denture glue left... So file it was.

It would have been simpler if I’d wanted to wire it to the battery like most people will do. Still not that complicated, just fiddly.

Hahaha!!!

Ah well, all the effin’ and jeffin’ happens off camera 🙂
