2011 People 50, need the right tools.
« on: December 09, 2017, 12:42:41 AM »
So, I need a full set of tools to take apart and put togther again this scooter. Anyone recommend a tool set I can get off Amazon or something? I have no tools to begin with, so I'll need close to everything if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Metric set of sockets and COMBINATION wrenches to include 8, 9 10, 12, 13, 14,  17, 19 mm. You will also need a 15/16 inch socket and a handle or  15/16 inch box end for the oil strainer. This covers 99% of the maintenance chores if you include a #2 Phillips screw driver. This will be a START! You will add stuff as you deem neccessary. And, believe me, you will find it neccessary!

During my quest for knowledge about the People 50, I've come to realization. You f*** up your bike, it's a bitch to find parts. I had maybe 2 monitors going, searching for parts and stuff.

Then...

I found this website. Holy Grail of parts. http://www.kymcopartsmonster.com/

Then I needed tools... But not sure which tools, then I stumbled onto the internet manual for the bike. lol http://www.scootermasters.com/manuals/kymco%20People%2050-complete.pdf

All together an hour or 2 spent. Now to find a tool kit, order the parts and hurry and wait. *Sigh*

But I really need help still, any good recommendations. I plan on just messing with the Front Steering, shocks and wheel. As all that was damaged, nothing else. Plastics don't matter right now.

Thanks again.

So, I crashed my bike. Had to replace the front fork. A simple ratchet 40pc and a few screwdrivers later I fixed the issue.

But now it's onto the carb, spark plug and fuel. Not to mention the strator probably needs to be replaced.

An Error Has Occurred!
