Buddy Rear Tire Changing Videos

Post by MYSCTR »

We added two new videos to YouTube specifically to remove and then re-install the Buddy rear wheel. Hope they come in handy for anyone that may need to do this on their own or not have a local dealer to go to.

We know the only thing missing is the torque specs on specific bolts yet maybe someone can post them below although honestly we have done this several times and not used a torque wrench on the 12 bolts in the videos.

Thanks!

Nice video Paul. How long have you had that Prima pipe on your 170i? Do you notice performance gains?

Prima Pipe

I installed that pipe on my 2008 International at 10,000 miles, ran it too 19,750, pulled it off ran it on a 2009 interim International for about 4,200 miles and now it is on my 2014 170 with another 4,200 miles on it. So it has about 18,000 miles on it right now. It has been blacked out for about 4,000 miles.

Can't really say - it wasn't like a noticeable jump. As I understand it you need more air intake to improve the performance. We are about 700 feet above sea level if that helps. Might mess with the air intake on this scoot someday.

Those vids are fantastic. You have a knack for explaining things.

I also really like the way you blacked out the prima. That 170i is unique and badass.

Thanks - Hope to make a few more short vidoes as we head into summer! Have a few plans for the scoot too, maybe this upcoming Fall/Winter.
