ADV350 - Ask me any questions

Serv
@ ADV


At what speedo increments does the service due message appear on the dashboard on the ADV350 ?


When it clocked 1000km I got the message and the shop reset it, I thought it would appear again at 6000km but not as yet, I am now over 7000km and still no message.
Service interval, dash display lights at 12,000km. Oil change lights at 6,000km.

I have just got my ADV350 and I was looking at getting a rack, similar looking to yours, I was looking at the H2C version or Moto Wolf, but they look pretty pretty much identical to the one you have fitted into your Bike. I was thinking of using and similar bag to what you have and just attaching it to the rack, instead of using a box what would your thoughts be on this? Any other recommendations?

Thanks Ian
The photo you attached does look like basically the same rack.

I have also considered just using my Loboo soft roll top bag (instead of the box), from time to time. I'm interested in streamlining the centre of gravity.

I'd try placing the bag along the length of the rack and seat. I think placing it sideways the soft bag structure would drape too much over the sides of the rack.

This might cause chaffing and premature wear of the pvc material against the metal rack at the drape points.

I haven't tried soft bag only, yet. I'll do it when I return to Maesai, perhaps by the end of this week.

I think I recall seeing a nice rack made by Loboo, on Lazada.

A point I will consider is how the bag strap anchor points work out if the bag is positioned length ways rather than sideways.

In fact, even sideways on the rack the top box mounting plate doesn't have slots wide enough for the bag straps to pass through.

My oil change light never came on at 6000km......................I did change oil/filter though


But the light just came on at 7100km ?.........................I presume it has done 6000km since the 1000km service

I really like the Zontes ADV version...very tempting...but for me it's not quite the time for Zontes due to dealer network and parts availability.

I'd love for this situation to change more quickly.

When I replaced my flood damaged ADV350 I also went to the Zontes dealer in Chiang Rai.

At that time only the Zontes road version was available. Its an impressive bike at a great price. If the Zontes ADV version had been available at that time I think I might well have purchased it (having already owned the ADV350), as a comparison.

However, the more I ride the ADV350 and do rountine maintenance because of the kilometres I am covering, the more the doubt about Zontes parts support and downtime due to parts availability grows.

This is an unfortunate doubt.

@Ughetto

Routine parts for maintenance...

- Oil and air filters
- Brake pads
- Brake pins and clips that hold the brake pads and the rubber bellows the brake pins pass through.
- sparkplug
- variator set (including oil seals)
- clutch set (including oil seals and o rings)
- drive belt
- front fork spring and oil
- rear shox

There's not much else I can think of. Surely Zontes can get that parts supply together across Thailand?

I think Zontes focus is to perhaps develop the Euro market, which would make sense.

I don't see too many Zontes parts suppliers on Lazada. I buy 99% of my rountine Honda OEM parts on Lazada and they arrive within 72hours.

I have nothing against Zontes, I havent even ridden one, but I have had a good look over the Zontes 350E and 368 and they look impressive, with alot of accesories that come standard, big TFT colour screen/crash bars/TPMS and some models have built in front/rear cameras.

My concern is parts and service, my ADV350 or Xmax I can go 5km to my local dealer and get a service or repair...................................and resale would be poor in comparison to Honda/Yamaha IMO
