People 250 / Looking for opinions on People 250S VS Grand Vista 250
« on: September 06, 2022, 09:19:20 PM »
Hello Kymco fans!  I'm looking for input from anyone who can compare the quality of a People 250S to that of a Grand Vista. I tore into a GV a couple of years ago that had 34,000 miles on it. I was impressed with the quality of parts.  Both sets of pullies showed very little wear.  Valves were spot on, owner thinking they had never been checked.  I am looking for 200 to 300cc scooter.  There is a 2007 250S w/ 3,200 miles near me.  Can I assume this scooter is the same quality as the Grand Vista?  Any long term owners of a 250S out there that would like to share their thoughts on the scooter?  Thank you in Advance!

People 50 / Help with 2010 2t carburetor Solved
« on: August 03, 2022, 05:18:28 PM »
Good morning Kymco fans!  I'm looking for some help on a 2t carburetor.  See the picture, do all carbs have the o-ring / seat on the air fuel screw? (just to the left of the arrow)   Secondly, the scooter runs great once you get it started  It is a bear to start.  You have to kick start it twenty times to get it to fire up.    I have heavy fuel running out of the intake side of the carb.  I know the petcock is working fine. Fuel line is unhooked from the carb at the moment, and nothing is coming out of it.  I believe the float needle valve is working correctly.  With carb off, I blow air through the fuel intake, and the flow will shut off when the carb is parallel.  All the jets are clean, the carb looks good.  There is no seat or o-ring on the air/fuel screw.   I'm looking for guidance.  Thank you in advance.  Update:  I thought I would pass this along for future readers.  Carb was pissing fuel out of the backside.  Ended up being warped reeds.  Hard to find a Kymco replacement you say.  Get the reeds for a Kawasaki KX60.  I had to oblong the holes a little bit.  $13.00 off Ebay.

Grandvista 250 / Adjustment screws at top of headlight.
« on: March 04, 2020, 10:25:39 PM »
Does anyone know this pair of adjustment screws does?  They are located at the top of the GV250 headlight.  They turn a series of gears behind the headlight housing.  I thought they were the two screws used to remove the front panel.  I hadn't removed the windshield yet, and didn't see the 10mm heads for the actual bolts I needed to remove.  I spen them counter clockwise before I realized the were the wrong screws.  I've tried turning the gears, and looking at the front to see what they go to.  I for the life of me can not tell what the function of this contraption is.   Any ideas Kymco think tank?

People 50 / Calling long time People 50 2t owner's advice on service intervals.
« on: April 15, 2017, 07:31:27 PM »
Good afternoon Kymco enthusiasts.  I'm looking for advice from long term People 2t owners.  Please tell me what you use for service intervals for gear oil, air filter and spark plug.  I have the owner's manual, so no need to quote what is in there.  I'm looking to see what actual high mileage owners have done and been successful with.  Thank you in advance!   A.B.

People s150 / Battery drain on People S 125.
« on: September 30, 2016, 01:39:24 PM »
Hello fellow Kymco riders.   I'm wondering if someone has information on a People S 125 battery drain.  I've seen this mentioned over the years (mainly on Craigslist posts of 125S's for sale).  Stator is doing the job fine of charging the batter, but once the scooter has sat unused for a week or so the battery is completely dead.  I've searched on the forum and google, and I've found nothing.   Can anyone help me out here?  Thank you in advance!

This is a professionally modified Slipstreamer Scoot50 windshield designed to fit Kymco Like.   I had it on my scooter for two months before I sold the Like.  It is in perfect shape, mounts using your original Like mirrors.   All hardware and tools are included.  $75.00 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 USA.   Here is a link for the original windshield:

It now measures 20" across at the widest point.  From top of headlight cut out to top of windshield is 16.5".  Overall height is about 20".  This is a high quality windshield that will fit your like perfectly. 

Please pm me with interest / questions.

HI,  I have a set of 12 gram Dr. Pulley sliders for sale.  I had them in my Like 200 for a couple of hundred miles, but they were too light.  These would be the right size/weight for an Agility 125 or People S125.   $15.00 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 USA.  Please PM me if you are interested.

LIKE 200i / variator comments & question
« on: March 14, 2014, 11:02:50 PM »
I just pulled the variator cover on my 2012 Like.  The scooter has about 1500 miles on it.  The first 1000 were kept to under 40 mph.  The stock rollers had quite a bit of wear.  Every roller has flat spots.  I weighed them on a digital scale.  They came in at 13.8 grams.   The paper variator cover gasket came off in pieces.   With all the air inlets on the cover, I'm not sure why there is a gasket there.  I will probably clean both surfaces and put it back together with no gasket.   I am replacing the stock rollers with Dr. Pulley sliders.   I have a Yamaha C3 with sliders in it.  They have over 12,000 miles on them.  They are showing minor wear, and have not lost a bit of performance.   In my opinion best upgrade you can do.       
Can someone please give me a torque setting for the variator nut?  The free manual I got online tells me 93.1 N-m which is over 68 foot pounds.  This seems excessive by about 20 pounds.   If someone can help me out with a number, I would be grateful.
