I haven't been on a forum before so this should be interesting. I have been wanting to get back on 2 wheels for years , but the 60% half put the big veto on that until now. She is so fed up with gas prices that she decided to get a scooter!!!! never been on 2 wheels in her life. We checked the net found and bought a Viva 150 she loves it and it seems to be a serious machine, not a toy. Now I am expecting to take delivery of a Viva 250 on Mon. (so we can ride together) again!!!!we spent just over $2600.00 shipping included for both scoots so this is a low risk adventure we can both enjoy. I have about a thousand questions and no idea where to start, I've owned many bikes over the years but scooters are all new to me CVT transmission? etc.. I guess my first question would be does anyone have any advice about the Viva machines what to expect during the break in period , what faults to look for and like that that . we live at about 5500ft. an play in the Mts. around Wolf creek and Red Mt. passes at 8000 to 10000 Ft. what can I expect? any ideas would be more than I have now Thanks.This looks to be some fun as I am a chronic tinkerer new toy oh boy.

Hey bear, Welcome to the pound. Suddenly I am seeing a lot about new Viva's on the boards. Congrats. I am not a mechnaical expert but if you use the search function you will find lots of info and opinion on break in methods, and about the Viva itself. Try it out and see what the Dawgs have to say. Enjoy and ride safe, Tom
