Two pros of activa are- The combi brakes comes handy for ladies and the engine is slightly more refined at above 70 kmph.
    And one of my dentist friends has an Activa, who loves my Jupiter more.
    You mean quality of plastics is better in jupiter..??

    An observation- Ride it at around 55-60 kmph, milege is around 50-52.
    Ride it hard at 75-80 kmph for long, milega comes down to around 45 kmpl.
    If you can, then ride at around 45-50 kmph, to get milege of 55kmpl easily. But honestly you cant ride it that slow.
    Max kms done in a day- 300 kms.

    How is your experience with jupiter. It will be very helpful for those who are looking something better than activa in similar price range.

    Got the first service done costed only 275 INR only. The scooter is getting more refined, till now only 602 kms done. The carburetor was changed under warranty as there were stalling problems and the old carb was not able to provide optimum fuel/air ratio. Now there is no stalling problem. There is some kach kach type vibration from front board after speeds of 40 kmph. Asc people could not find what was causing that but is is very negligible. My handle also goes towards right but that will be cured and they said to bring my vehicle after holi holidays. There manager said to me while unloading from truck there could be chances the vehicle would have damaged. He assured me everything is fine now and if i find something i can go to him anytime.

    Hi folks,
    Got the scoot as a daily runabout and to replace my aging vespa. Its been running like a charm since day one. I have done 4000kms on it till date. Mileage i get is about 50-55, and top speed is 90 speedo indicated.
    A rat found its way inside and bit the wire connecting fuel guage. It was replaced for about 250 or 300 bucks.
    No other replacements/claims except this.
    Plus points:
    1.Comfortable for 6' folks. All other scoot's handle fouls with long legs, jupiter's doesnt.
    2.The external tank cap is very convenient.
    3. Seat is big and plush, though a little bigger seat like activa 125 would have been better to carry around pillions who sit sideways.
    4. Fuel efficiency is similar to what was told at showroom, 55 for a autoscoot is very good.
    5. Low fuel indicator is a boon for people like me who always forget to fill up.
    6. Pass light. 'Nuff said.
    7. The A.s.s is too good, all work done is proper and everything you say is taken care of, save for the annoying rattle, source of which they couldn't find.
    7. Last but the most important point, handling. Tvs definitely knows how to make good handling machines. I thoroughly enjoy taking corners on this scoot.Nothing comes close, save for the wego, in this department.

    Cons.
    1. Not a con per se, but a little bigger fuel tank wouldve been better.

    Overall, a lovely ownership experience till now.

    Hi guys this is my first vehicle and i bought copper limited Edition colour on 31 st. Delivery was very smooth as i walked with cash on document and took vehicle with me in 2 hrs..
    Chose this over activa due to weight as i am new to driving..
    Feels very easy and liberating to drive this one.. The colour is head turner and look very good.. Also the peteol tank opening without getting up is convenient..
    So far have done 300 kms..

    More than a month old now. Mileage around 50-52 kmpl. Top speed of >85(Speedo).
    Only problem is, Have to refill Petrol every 180 Kms or so. Why cant scoots have bigger tanks!!! There is hell lot of wasted space under the seat.

    He says, he never rode it above 60-70 kmph in the whole journey. And had not stopped once in the last 150 kms after the last refill.

    woah woah..
    1. these scooters seem to handle non stop rides with ease. I have done around 350-400km in one day a few times and most of the time the first 120km is a non stop ride which i am able to complete in 2hrs 15min two up on my 2007 dio.
    2. you dont have to worry about anything frying or conking out (as long you have the right grade & quantity of engine oil) - and i always keep varying the speed +-10kmph
    3. @ 60kmph the scoots cruise at EASE with no stress felt at the engine. There wasn't even a drop in engine oil level.
    This from my experience on the honda dio.. (i started doing these long runs when the odo was at around 25k km) not once has it given up/over heating/starting trouble/weird noises. If you are game, then it can cruise at 60kmph all day long. My only suggestion would be to use a xxw40 engine oil (10w40 or 20w40) if you are doing long runs. I haven't tried the 10w30's on long rides, but for the first time i have used it on my dio two months ago, and it seems fine for short city runs. My Dio's at 50k km and still purrs like new.. just need new clutch shoes.
    I haven't ridden the tvs scooters much so I cannot say for sure if they can handle such 'long' runs, but i am sure they will.

    Ya, first servicing was done at 700Km ODO. Current Odo is 1380. But I think I will change the engine oil now, to be the safer side, as I feel, the heat generated during the ride would have affected the viscosity of the Oil. It performs very well though, no sign of abnormality.
    But i am scared. really scared. Dont want, the mech saying in the second servicing- You need new Bore/Piston.
    But I am still curious to know, How many Kms has a scoot done in a day without breaking down. Does any body knows, any Activa has ever done Leh??
