haha dealer said it was most likely an oil pump and time to get a new scooter!!!!

It was the oil meter, just reset it and all good!

Thank you!

Hi guys I have a 2012 Yeager 200i with 2500 miles while riding today the light went off so naturally I drove to my destination turned off the bike and checked the oil. The oil level seemed full (from checking it on the center stand and NOT SCREWING  in the dip stick) soooo...not sure what's next?

...could it be an oil sensor, an oil pump, don't know please help! Either way not a lot of miles to start having problems!

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

Getting ready to do my 1st oil change on my Yager 200i and I was hoping you could tell me if I can use Mobil #1 10-40 4T sport bike oil (well if it is good oil for the motor).  I have a few quarts left over from servicing my other bikes. The manual suggests 10w-30 kymco oil...not sure where you'd buy that?

Anyways here's what I have:

My scoot has 2000 miles on it...it takes 800 ml, right?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys I just hit 2K and 2 years old so I wanted to perform a coolant change.

SINCE I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS I am guessing at these steps so please HELP!...vids are great too! =)

Steps:
1. Drain coolant by unbolting the waterpump and take off radiator cap to help drain
2. Pull bleeder hose off
3. Bolt pump back on
4. Fill radiator up slowly (shake scooter & add), then put the cap back on (scoot is NOT RUNNING)
5. Fill up reservoir
6. start motor
7. wait until bleeder hose stops bubbling and gives a consistent flow and reconnect hose
8. Keep adding coolant to reservoir
9. Run to temp, shut down and recheck

If you have done this before please let me know I have never seen this performed with a "bleeder hose" (this is a guess) and not a screw in type
Also, if you know what needs to be disassembled and how to do that please mention it.


Thanks in advance!
 

Both exhaust & compression stroke have movement in the rocker arms...I must have open them too much the first time around when i got those crazy gap #'s.

Not sure what else I can do, tighten them up to .003 instead of .004?...SO FRUSTRATED!!! 

I have opened her up twice and checked it 10-12x's the first time and 4x's the second. I did EXACTLY what all the posts showed, and it sounds like that.  The valves did not move from the first time and they are set exactly at .1/.004.  Any ideas, any one live in the Chicago area? PLEASE HELP!!!

...maybe that's why the valves were originally set up so tight from Kymco?   

Ok just finished took 50 mins. exactly from start to finish, the valves had minimal movement each rotation; I turned it 4 full rotations and checked each time (the clearance never changed, .004/.1mm every time)...there was minimal movement each time in the nut to the adjustment post (is that correct, very slight movement, but movement?...and it was never locked up out of the 4 revolutions).  Thinking and hoping its good!:)

Ok I just called the owner...great guy by the way, and he said he never touched the valves, just oil and trans oil.  So with that being said I agree with you Stig I doubt they would of sent it out NEW like this, but then again the plug was WAYYY off too. 

So here is my fear (even though the test ride went well): 

#1.  I may of not been at TDC since I did not pull on the rocker arms checking for movement (however I did pull the plug and put my socket extension down there to see if the piston was near the top, which it was). 

#2.  I did not use the torque specs provided for the valve adjuster.  Since it is so difficult to get it to spec
(trying to hold the adjuster with a needle nose) I got it close and snugged the adjuster nut. Then I would use the (next size up gap .005) gauge to see if it still fit, if it did I then used just the wrench and tightened 1/32ish of a turn to the right (since the nut carries the adjuster rod with it...thus making a smaller gap).  I when the .005 no loner fit in knew I was close and adjusted very carefully until the .004 could fit and the .005 could not.

I'm just having a hard time believing this scoot was this far out of spec and I am always fearful the motor will blow. Please let me know your thoughts of the above.  If I have to take it apart again I will, to check TDC...getting the proper torque spec seems impossible, but I don't have any other tricks unless they make a tool for the adjuster rod (to hold it).

...and again THANK YOU for your help!!!
