People s150 / Re: Windsheild
« Last post by imthinking on Today at 03:15:01 AM »
If you ride in cold you don't want to cut that thing down either. It will keep you much warmer.  Also, you can find a reduced height windshield  WRS (from Italy) on ebay listed for the People S 125. Fits perfectly on 150 as long as you have the OEM brackets already. It doesn't come with any.

People s150 / Re: Variator mod
« Last post by imthinking on Today at 03:04:08 AM »
I think they are 13.5 grams from description here https://www.bike-parts-kymco.uk/kymco-motorcycle/150-SCOOTER/PEOPLE/PEOPLE_S_150i_ABS_EURO_4/VARIATOR--CLUTCH/228/6/0/228

I tried 12 and 13's sliders on my 2022 and ended up mixing them for 12.5. I think acceleration is better and smoother than stock, but the gas mileage has gone down a bit and i lost a 1 mph on top end. I am leaning toward putting the original rollers back in next time I go back in there.

General Discussion / I need someone to help find me a front fender. K-pipe 125cc

Hi I'm in real big need of a front fender for the Kymco K-pipe 125cc. cannot find any OEM near me in northern Virginia and all the dealerships don't sell Kymco products anymore. I need something that fits the front so I dont constantly get splashed by bits of water every time I go in the wet roads. 2017 Kymco K-Pipe 125cc

Wow..very cool!

ya, I've always wanted a small TLB, could have used one in my business before retirement, now that I'm on a fixed income, and not chasing money I can finally afford one

That a Mahindra? Right color....

Ought to relieve the UXV snow plow!

Nope, not a Mahindra, it's  TYM,  model 474HC, 48hp, 6000 lbs.   looked at Mahindra's, too much cast and not enuf forged steel imho, TYM has good promotion now, 3.99% is less than inflation, it's like free money, and good discounts from msrp too.

I'm guessing here, but let's start at the top.  A Super 8 150 isn't a new Kymco, it might be 10 or 15 years old. It's likely carbureted, not fuel injected.  If so, it will be struggling to run on ethanol mix, or (worse), OLD ethanol mix.  Carbureted motors were designed for ordinary petrol, no ethanol.  In a pinch they'll run nicely with straight boat gas, tractor gas - or even 100LL avgas.  But no ethanol in the mix. An older Kymco on ethanol is really hard to start, and will stumble and backfire until it gets warm.  There's not a lot that can be done, possibly up-jet the pilot jet.  If it's a Kymco carburetor, there's no jets available except the stock jets, so you have to switch to a Keihin CVK carb (20 or 22mm).   You might be lucky and find a pure petrol supply near home. The good news is that once it's warmed up it will run just fine!

I bought replacement Keihin jets for my scoot..they were identical to the OEM ones (I had a Kymco branded carb..I think)

But I’d first start with a thorough carb cleaning
