The initial break-in oil change is due at 600 miles - but just as a precaution, I changed it at around 260 miles with conventional oil, and will change it again at 600 miles as well.
Oh and another thing. I think engineering wise the Honda Cub (really the '80s passport models, not the new things they're calling Cubs today) I believe those old carbureted cubs are the most beautifully engineered machines in the world. The way they have mechanical brakes to work anywhere and rarely fail. how easily adjustable the rear wheel is the fact that you can take off the rear wheel without removing the chain, it is a marvel of engineering. And it's beauty lies and it's simplicity and practicality.
I disagree with you on a point. I think the helix is the most beautiful looking scooter in the world. Everything else to me looks like a transformer. I did not want my helix but my friend kind of goaded me into buying it. now you will pry it from my cold dead hands before I give it up. As much as I miss all your helix videos, I am very glad you're back on a scooter!
Maybe one day you can buy a cheaper helix. Make a video series on repairing/restoring it and make it exactly how you want it. I loved watching the helix videos when you had it. (After finishing the video I’d see that you are not interested in this lol)
