Suzuki Address 110 - How to Change the Rear Indicator Bulb
Someone asked how to change the rear indicator on the Suzuki Address 110. We've assumed that means the bulb rather than the entire indicator, and here's the resulting video!

Mech It Better: Euro-Jaunt 2019 (Highlights)

We ventured less north on our first European escapade with our very own motorbikes. A light infiltration of Northern France with a gentle peruse of Belgium's highlights. Our 2 week trip covered over 1500miles and featured a generally casual average mileage to allow for a few pedestrian moments along the way. Not forgetting the British delights either end of the journey to, and from, "Le tunnel"...

Solved!!! I have been suffering with this problem for the last 3 weeks! And after changing egr and many other parts and sensors! Turns out the egr cooler has a flap inside it that breaks of and gets sucked backwards into the turbo and jamming it! I had no error codes for turbo and all the codes i did have had beed related to egr/dpf! Please check your turbo will freewheel and is not seized first before throwing hundred or even thousands on miss-diagnostic! 👍

We only have the Address 110 in New Zealand, no 125 available, but I have the 110. Great scooter, will sit at 80-90 km/h (50-55 mph) all day.
My Vivaro 2008 190000 miles, has had hardly any problems in the 8 years I've had it. But then again I have fully serviced it every 10k and use a diesel additive every 3k.
I wish Suzuki still made these, they were stupid cheap and economical back then. I'll try to nab one from the used market if I can but they're pretty rare around here in the south of Europe, market mostly dominated by Piaggio. If you still have it love it
Muy bien explicado!!! Mil gracias!!!
Where is the thumbnail bike ?
Thanks for sharing! Have you done a vid to replace the blinker lenses?
I know it was 5 years ago but great video helped me out
Appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment though. We did it specifically because we thought it might be useful to others, seeing as we couldn't really find anything that explained and showed it clearly. Glad it came in handy. Did it go smoothly for you?
Im currently trying to get my break pads in but my piston will not move so i have taken the top headlight section of the bike off but cannot locate the part you spoke of in the video any chance you van help me ?
How much you talking to fill up? And roughly how many miles on a full tank?
How tall are you? Does the bike fit you for your size? I am thinking about buying one of these to start of but the seller was worried about my height and me being to tall. I am 191cm (about 6,2)
Hi, As I'm sure I've made clear, I thoroughly enjoyed owning this bike so you're on the right track. It's an absolute trooper ...if you look after it 😉 I'm about 173cm and felt like it was a good fit for me. This doesn't instantly mean it's going to be a bad choice for you. I would highly recommend getting your butt on which ever bike you intend to buy, or at least the same model, to let your body give you the answer. It's the best/easiest way to be sure and potentially the most accurate (even if you are just sat on it). All the little things like are the foot controls in a comfortable position, how much do you have to bend your knees, does the position of the handlebars force bad posture or put your shoulders in an uncomfortable position? etc All things that you just don't know without physically straddling your weapon of choice. Taller riders tend to go for the cruiser style bikes to get a bit more leg room but if that's not your style, a supermoto might give your legs the breathing room they need but retain the more typical riding position. It might be worth visiting a local motorbike shop to see if you can swing a leg over a few different styles to see what suits you best and then match it to your budget. Does any of that sound like it might be useful?
This was an excellent video. Very good of you to share your expertise and your experience. Big thanks from California to you!!
Jes thats a BIG job to take on just to clean the EGR. Do fluids like Forte Diesel Turbo Cleaner & EGR Valve Treatment not work?
I am from Sri Lanka. I am running a town mate. Now I ont get spark on the ignition ciol. Can you please help me out with the service manual.
I am from Sri Lanka. Using a town mate. Now I don't get the spark on the ignition coil. Can you rectify please.
Fair play to you for getting stuck in iv just bought one of these vans thinking It was the 1.9 engine without knowing it was the 2.0 that needed a starter motor change 😢🤣
Cheers man 👁️😄 happy days
need some new videos! 2024 still here
Do you order a shim kit specific for Kawasaki versys 650. Or do you order the shims individually?? Could you please add the link Thank you
Hi, The outer diameter for the versys shims is 7.48mm. You can buy specific kits for the bike which includes a whole bunch of different thicknesses to cover a wide range of adjustments or you can buy separately. It's obviously a bigger investment to buy a full kit but then you're probably covered for all eventualities before you even strip the bike down to check. At that point you can replace them straight away and reassemble. If you can survive without the bike for a while, do the check and then order the specific ones you need. Just be very sure you're measurements are correct. We we're lucky that the guys at NYAB (where we did the video) already had stock available to use onsite and we didn't have to order any. A company I have previously used for bike parts is Wemoto. They do list shims for the versys. Hope that helps
Really well done lads, my old Punto is waay past needing front struts plus goodness knows what else and i found this video to be brilliant, thank you 😊
Guys a Absolute LIFESAVER ❤ Thank you for taking the time to do this. Tutorial!
Excellent videos lads and great banter ! Confident to do these now thanks to you lads.
Apologies for not responding sooner, especially to such a glowing comment of positivity. Much appreciated. Have you had a bash at the task? If so, how did it go?
Great vid, thanks lads
Great tutorial, why did you replace the EGR valve? What symptoms were you having please
❤
Helpful video.nice one. 😉
Hi there, may i know how tall are you? I am interested in this bike but i am 189 cm tall and afraid my knee may touch front cabin when sitting down on it.
Brilliant. Wonderful. More service videos please!
I have a Yamaha town mate any time I try to accelerate it will off
fun fact the egr valve is implemented into a car to stop the engine from melting
what are shims? and are they the detrimental component in this? do i need to have replacement shims?
Did u find out what the problem was with the juddering no power up incline and dash lights flickering ???
just got my son one of these. 2013. runs well enough for a 125. wont win any races. just 1 thing. anyone have any issues with neutral light not working? did you resolve it. ? cheers
Nice video, right mindset and great music ( not as french youtuber too often ..) Thank you and goes on .!
I got my valves readjusted in my first and last week of prison
Plugs are for fog lights mate
How do you remove the seat?
What is the name of grease used when replacing brake pads
Pourquoi ne pas enlever le radiateur ?
Bonsoir. Merci pour votre question. I chose to leave the radiator attached because I had recently replaced the coolant and bled the system so I didn't want to do it again. Yes, it would be easier if it was removed but we managed anyway.
the main difference 50 cc 3speed 80cc 4speed not very quick for an 80 had 2 from new 83 85 respective 😀👍
i have a 2012 trafic 2.0 dci with injector fault and 3 garages i took her to there code readers cant pin point whats going on .. also dpf needs cleaning out.. had her 5 years she had brand new turbo over 2 years ago love driving her but worried about high repair costs now..
To remove a track rod end either use a ball joint splitter or hit the arm side on to break the taper.
Check the vacuum pump it may need to be replaced
Great video,did you consider blanking/deleting the EGR? I’m having same issues as you and think I’m going to blank it
Great video - amazing the amount of freedom such a small scooter can give you..
so nice! thank u.
I was going to buy a bike like this but changing the spark plugs is a nightmare so not going to buy one now
god i only took air box off and intercooler pipe
