Perhaps nothing to worry about then?
Seemed like a few on YouTube and the like have experienced problems, but it's always the few that have issues you hear from, rather than the many with no issues to report.

"The button with the motorcycle on it is purely to make the indicators flash so you can find your bike in a park full of scooters.
The other button switches the key itself on and off, to save the battery when you're not using the bike.
A brief press of the button causes the light to show green for on or red for off. (If your're colour blind, as I am, I do find the red is 'brighter'. STUPID choice of colours!)
A long press of that button causes the light to flash e.g. red if the key is off, then turn green for on."
Brilliant - thank you !!

I'm still umming and ahring about what to buy next, and am definitely considering an ADV350. I've been reading reviews and looking at YouTube vids and where opinions seem to differ is the ride quality. I've seen every possible view expressed, from 'terribly harsh' through 'firm but good' up to 'plush'! So given that if I bought one it would spend much of its time pottering round the dodgy quality roads of the Lake District (and wow, I've seen some utter shockers already!), how do ADV350 owners on here rate ride & general suspension quality?

Firm but well set up. Not uncomfortable. Handles excellent

Compared to the Forza 350 - still firm, still a 'small wheel scooter', but definitely better quality suspension and a more controlled ride. Fine steering and handling, excellent grip. Feels like a bigger, more substantial bike than the Forza, although the stats say it isn't...
Would be interesting to try a Forza with the ADV suspension!

What colour did you for? I went for the matt black.
