General Discussion / Water pump AK550
« on: March 17, 2024, 11:19:49 PM »
Any of you guys with an AK550 have a water pump issue? I just brought my bike in for yearly maintenance and the mechanic told me that i had a water pump leak. Seems strange for a bike with only 5000 miles after 2 years of riding...also my damn battery started going dead, which had a bad cell. I had it on a battery tender when I wasn't riding the bike. Too much darn tech on these bikes...

General Discussion / Dead Battery
« on: August 11, 2020, 04:16:44 PM »
Just a question(I drive a Kymco Xciting 400i),

I spent 4hrs on Sunday riding my scooter at both highway and slow back road speeds with no problems whatsoever. I park the bike overnight in the garage. Then yesterday about 20 hrs after my ride, I go and start the bike and the battery was completely dead. I checked for lose wires, but nothing. So I went and got another battery and the Bike started up like a champ. Has anyone ever a seen a battery go dead that fast. It struck me odd and I am thinking that I might have a drain somewhere in the electrical system, but then again, it could have been that the chemicals in the battery gave out.... Any Thoughts? The Battery is about 3 years old.

General Discussion / New Models
« on: August 07, 2020, 08:16:16 PM »
Do you guys think there is any way to convince Kymco to offer their other models (European/Asian) here in the US? I would especially like to see the following models here.

People S300
Downtown 350 TCS
AK 550
Xciting S400i
Agility 300
Like S 125
People S 125
Like EV

We really miss out on some great scooters and very competitive in pricing. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck comparatively speaking when you compare these scooters to the other major manufacturers. The Kymco dealer near me ran out if the 50, 150, and 200 Like scooters this year. Many people in my area or RI are getting out more and discovering the joys of scooter riding, especially when we have such beautiful drives along the coastline. A lot of my motorcycle friends cant believe how fast my Kymco Xciting 400i is and how easy it is to ride and maintain. I guess the stigma of riding a 'scooter' vs. a motorcyle is hard to break. Nonetheless, IF any of the KYMCO dealers/representatives read this forum, please consider trying to bring some more of these models over. I would definitely consider trading in my 2018 400i for an AK550...

General Discussion / Honda advance 150
« on: April 03, 2020, 03:40:37 AM »
Stigmeister,

This honda model might tickle your 150 fancy. It was just announced April 1. I am very interested, but I wish they would also bring over the 300 and 750 cc models also. THe price is about $3000 in philipine pesos. Not sure about the price here.

Xciting 500 / 2018 exciting 400 windshield
« on: June 24, 2019, 12:29:36 AM »
I just got a windshield from PUIG for my scooter 2018 xciting(400i). The darn thing does not fit the screws. Did any of you guys have to redrill the holes? Its really weird. The bottom holes fit, but the uppers ones are too far apart and too low...Its kind of pissing me off.

General Discussion / Yamaha SMAX vs. Honda PCX 150
« on: November 13, 2018, 07:33:04 PM »
What do you guys think about these scooters(SMAX vs, PCX)? I might be looking at one for a second scooter along with my 400i. There are no Piaggio dealers in the area, so I can't really look at a 150, which would have been my first choice. Also why the heck is Honda still using drum brakes for the rear on a new scooter...
