Congrats on the new bike :)  I am a new owner also (People S200) http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=188.0 (http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=188.0)

I would personally suggest taking a riders safety course if you haven't already.  Not only will you save on insurance it may save your life.  I liked getting tips from seasoned riders on what I was doing wrong and learning how to do tricky maneuvers quickly.

Again congrats and ride safe :)

I am already signed up to take the class next month.  I'm not going to ride my bike until then.

I picked up my bike this past weekend. I've taken the rider safety course, when I came home and rode my bike it was amazing. The people who stop at lights in their car asking "what kind of bike  is that"  ( even Harley riders) don't beleive it's a 250. There is a but,
 I'm finding that she will some times shut off in first gear. Is there anything I can do?
thanx in advance

nanamona,
You will get this alot from people!
On your issue:
What year is your bike? Did you purchase new?  Does it die on decelleration?

I like the new pegs where did you get them or were they on the bike when you got it?

The highway pegs were on the bike when I got them.  I have been having alot of fun driving this bike to and from work weekly. I picked up a Joe Rocket jacket and its working out great.

later on.

Nice stock bike. You could check out youtube video's and I can give you many pointers on making it custom. Let out the clutch real slow in first and ease up on throttle at same time and it will not stall, Happy Ridin'. How can I load pictures like yours, my Firefox doesn't have paint option to make smaller?. I want to show off my Custom 2007 Venox somewhere over the rainbow. Thanks...
