Ok, I've had my VX bout a month ,& I love it even more as each day goes by! There is absolutly NOTHING that I can say bad about it! It looks and rides like its brand new (26500 miles on it). Now if I can only keep it that way. My problem is that I know very little about engines,plus I really don't have the time to work on it even if I did. What I need to know is when to tune it, when to change the oil ( should I use synthetic oil?) what types of filters to use etc. I know that most of you must agree upon the same things. So if I can get a little input as on what I can do to maintain it , or even improve it ,I would be extreemly greatful. & does anyone know of a good mechanic or dealership in the NYC,Long Island area where I can take it for these types of service's.....Thanks , Bruce,,,,,,PS.. the one thing that I can do to the VX is wash & wax it! I can do that w/the best of em!
