Common for some folks - rare for me!I think the Like is a vast improvement over the Vespa!
Early this morning, an elderly lady of means, apparently, slid out of her Escalade and walked past.
Looking at my LIKE parked by the curb, she asked, "Is that yours?"
"Yes ma'am."
"It looks like fun!"
"It is!"
Later a mail man rode up on his scooter. He pops into Tom's most mornings on his way to the post Office, just down the street.
We chatted about his scooter. It's a 50 and he lives in the village - so perfectly good for intown use.
Later a passerby asked, looking it over, "Is that a Vespa?"
"Oh goodness....no! that kinda stuff can get a fellow beat up! It's Chinese!"
He was puzzled at my remark. He doesn't know Vespa owners.
Low bright sun in my face on much of my ride home...so stopped and put the painter's tape on. Works a treat - much better than my drop-down sun glass thing. That darkens everything. Including shadows. In and out of tree shadows all the way home - any one of which can be hiding a deer standing in the road. Ask me how I know!
It ain't elegant. But look at the rider!

Solved my problem with sudden death and slowly dying scooter engines. Modern setups have a vacuum operated vent valve that sticks shut.Remove these two screws and have a good grip on this cover and the two catches because they are spring loaded!
Recently there were some software updates to M3 tool. I upgraded my M3 tool from v1.47 to V24.03.05 and on my 2011 Kymco Downtown 300i: 1. I can't no longer communicate with ABS 8M module - communication error. 2. TPS Reset function is gone - it wasn't working in my case anyway. Good thing that I can downgrade back to 1.47.The ham radio guys are real big on "upgrades" for the firmware on these modern software defined rigs. They come away, bunches of them, after turning their once working radios into "bricks!" Fortunately, many are able to do what you did and return to the previous version (that worked!).
