Any Psycho Owners?

I got a limited edition Psycho last year. My 1st scooter. ITS GREAT! There are 174 of us somewhere (presuming there aren't a couple around somewhere still not sold) but I've seen 0 posts re Psycho. It seems to run a little louder and rougher than other scoots. Is that normal for a Buddy or is it specific to a different exhaust on the Psycho?

I love the HD adjustable suspension (I'm big) and the oversize breaks (ditto).

Love to hear about someone else's experience. (I'd post a pic but haven't figured out how to get the file size down to 128x128 pixels).

Stiff ride and loud exhaust=normal. Ride gets worse when you add preload in the rear shock. I have the same setup. You learn to avoid the bad bumps.

Thanks, I've already learned to avoid bumps. What do oyu mean by "preload" the shocks?

There is a nut under the spring of your rear shock. Turning this clockwise tightens the spring and adds preload. It taks a special wrench. This will raise your ride height.

The first rule of owning a Psycho is "You do not talk about Psycho."

(Can't believe I had to say it...)

I have a riding buddy, member of this forum I think but quiet, whose wife
bought him one. He loves it and was the one who encouraged me to buy
my 170i.

I saw it on Monday - it has the low profile seat. I am waiting for word on availabilty on a 170i Pamplona.... hope to join you all soon.

Had a Honda "Chubby" checker Metro which I traded in for my Honda Shadow. Love the Shadow but miss Chubby.

I'm not sure you'd call me psycho...more of a misanthrope. Oh wait...you're talking about the scooter. My bad.

I love mine! You can adjust the rear shock for a plusher ride if you like. Mine is set about half way and I find it absorbs some pretty good sized bumps on the pavement.
