General Discussion / Re: Kymco Like new keys
« on: July 08, 2016, 02:48:03 PM »
So I have an email out to Scooterwest to see if some of the keys they have there (for relatively cheap) would work. 

Backstory to the key problem:  I found recently that my key has been harder to turn in my ignition.  Upon inspection I found that the key was very warped.  Thinking it was a key problem, I switched to my spare which worked wonderfully...until I opened my underseat storage a few times.  I have found that the tumbler/lock shifts and does not move properly, preventing me from opening the underseat area consistently without putting to much pressure on the key, bending it.  I plan to pull out the seat bucket this weekend to have a look to see if I can easily fix it.  Otherwise I need to be cautious and open that area as little as possible.

Has anyone else had this problem?

My .02: Put on new tires.  I'm not the most experienced guy on the road by a long shot...but the only thing keeping you upright are two small patches of rubber, a few inches square.  I want those few inches to be in good shape.  I feel like motorcycle tires are the last thing to cheap out on.  $100 is not worth your traction/life.

An honest mistake has nothing to do with negligence.  It's how much of an honest mistake and whether or not a reasonable person would make such a mistake in such a situation that matters.  A crappy tie-down that any reasonable person would know has the potential to severely injure or kill someone is likely negligence.

General Discussion / "Tunnel Bag" for Flat Floorboards
« on: July 01, 2016, 05:57:18 PM »
I want to get a relatively narrow bag to place on the floorboard of my Like 200.  All of the bags I can see seem to be designed for the tunnels on maxi-scoots or their smaller brethren (PCX etc).  Anyone know of a good quality bag that I can place semi-permanently on the floor for more at-hand storage?

LIKE 200i / Iridium Spark Plug and...?
« on: June 22, 2016, 05:33:04 PM »
Hey all!  I'm getting ready to do the 300 mile valve check on my practically new Like 200i.  Finally have gotten up my courage and skill level (curves are still dicey on occasion) to take her out for 20-30 mile runs on 35 MPH back roads, so I put the last 90 miles on the odo pretty quickly.  So, I have a pretty good idea how to check the valves.  I'm also going to be changing out the gear oil per the factory recommendation.  I figure that while I'm under there, I might replace the spark plug (if it is worth it).  Thoughts on that?  Should I just ride out the factory plug until replacement time?  If I should replace the plug, what is the appropriate part number?

Also, is there anything else I need to have/do if I'm doing a valve check?  Will I need a new gasket for the cylinder head (I think that's the correct term)?

Hey Pace, I see you have the larger Kymco mirrors.  Do the give a much better view than the OEM round ones?

Well, know the previous owner probably didn't do a thing in terms of maintenance.  He bought it, put 200 miles on it, and stuck it in his garage for two years.  All I have done is change the oil.

Technical | How To / Kymco Like 200i questions
« on: June 07, 2016, 11:51:35 PM »
Well, after puttering around for a whole, finally comfortable taking the Like up to about 30mph.  I have a few questions as to some things I'm experiencing.

First, once I get over about 20 I start hearing a whine/whistling..  It sounds like it might be coming from the transmission area.  Would this be the fan?  Is the whistling normal?

Second, after about twenty minutes of riding the seat starts to grow fairly warm.  Not hot, but it definitely feels like I'm on top of an engine :). Hot hot is normal?  Should I be worried about what I put under the seat to transport?

Thanks!

If you aren't missing anything in that top picture, than I think I'm good to go.  I'm looking at the hole at just about 10 o'clock deeper into the engine than the fan assembly.

Thanks Stig.  Top picture looks just like mine.  The threaded hole at 11 o'clock is what I was referring to.  There isn't a bolt there?

Thanks.  Well, it is harder to figure out than I thought without some reference diagrams.  I'll take a picture when I can.  How do I post a picture on here?

LIKE 200i / Parts Diagram
« on: May 10, 2016, 12:26:01 AM »
Well the previous owner of my Like didn't tighten all the bolts when he got it...so I'm missing one.  Trying to figure out the size.  Anyone have a parts diagram of the right side near what I think is the fan assembly?
