And how do they fair in the rain ? (given we are only 4 to 5 months away from them). Don't wanna dump close to 1k in it and regret later.

Thanx

Dont forget to get quality clips and a minimum of 2.5mm thick wires, else they'll short out with time.

1. They're water resistant.

2. In your scootie they're placed inside the front shell, so it'll be real hard for water to enter.

Guys,

I went to one of the popular scooter garages in my city, and got a little confused.

We are talking about Roots Windtone, but which model should I get fitted ? The scooter guy had Roots Windtone 75 and Windtone Super both available for Rs. 560 each. He had Bosch relay for Rs. 90 and another "chalu local" relay for Rs. 50. Is Bosch relay good ?

Also, I went to a car garage/shop, and he had Roots Windtone 90 for Rs. 550, but when I told him whether he'll install it in my Activa and whether he had a relay, he denied that and told me to take my Activa to a "scooter shop".

So, what do you guys suggest ? Windtone 75, Super, or 90 ? and how is Bosch Relay for Rs. 90 ? or should I insist on Roots relay ?

Get this one:

& a branded relay from BOSCH or ROOTS.

Nothing to worry.

ravihpa · 02-07-2012, 09:44 PM

Well, I'll check it out and the thing that worries me is that the "scooter shop" didn't have the Windtone 90, and he questioned as to whether the 90 one will even fit inside the Activa front panel. He said "the 90 one might be bigger than the 75 or the Super".

Am going there this weekend and will tell him to get the 90, and we'll see where this goes

Got the Activa serviced today

, and I was really glad to find Motul 3000 4T Plus oil

It cost me Rs. 225 for 1 L bottle.

I got the back wheel brake pad changed, replaced the speedometer wire and now it's working great, and it overall feels great

Gonna get the Windtones installed tomorrow

Will let you guys know how it goes
