I use Seafoam and run an once per gallen to keep it clean. to start with I would run twice that much and let it sit over night in the carb. You don't need to run it all the time but once in a while is good.

Yes it was I. I would carry a set of tools to change the belt also I have added a 3 jaw puller to my set to get the cords out from under the back pulley. Also in your case AAA. I did use my CAA to get to a safe place to replace the belt. I still think it was a defective belt tho. I carry a spare all the time now.

Primarily till the first oil change. I would ride it like you stole it, just don't run a constant speed for a long time. If you go to easy the brake in will take a long time and the rings may not ever seat properly. On my DT300I I drove the first 100K at about 90KM but varied the throttle. After that I drove it as tho it was a couple of years old. It broke in great and I have had no problems except for a belt which I fine out was just about time to change anyway. 

The muffler is easy to get off and put back on. At the front of the muffler is a clamp with a hex screw in it, loosen it off several turns. Take the heat shield off (4 bolts) unbolt the muffler (3 large bolts). Twist the muffler as you are pulling it back.

I have changed my back tire twice now. I get about 14000KM on the back and twice that on the front. I just turned 29000KM on mine yesterday. I am running Pirelli Diablo tires on it. JUst finished a 7000KM trip before the last tire change. Takes me about a half hour to remove the wheel and about 45 minutes to put it back on with torquing. 

I agree, but they list for about $221.00 now. This price is unreasonable.

It is exactly the same for the DT300. First one lasted 19000km second one only 4000km and rapped up in the pulleys. current one has about 5000km now and looks like new. forth one is under the seat just in case. Second one had to be defective. All were Kymco belts!

I never let my tank run below half! Why run it down if you don't have to. I did carry an extra tank with me on my recent tour as there are some places you may not make it to the next station. The tank is designed specifically for this purpose. They are expensive and the only time I would use it is when I am in areas where fuel is not available.

Got home last Monday, haven't had much time to get on here yet. I am sure the belt that broke was defective. I have about 5000 km on this one with no problems yet. I did come home with out the saddle bags but do not think they had any barring on the problem. All in all the trip was good, 4.5 days out and 3.5 back. It is going to take a while to get the pictures up tho. I have about 100 hours for recording to go through to get anything worth looking at.
I road for an hour then stopped for a break, rode for another hour and got fuel, another hour and a break. Did the whole trip this way. Had a bit of problem with mussels in my neck but that is just from not doing this kind of riding before.
I am sure I will do this trip again but have to pay of the cost of this one first.
Putting on a new back tire tomorrow but this is just from normal ware. I am running Pirelli Diablo tires and love them. handled great on the entire trip.
I will post more when I have time.  

Broke down about 124k from Sault Ste. Marie yesterday. Got caa to take me and the scooter the rest of the way. Got in about midnight. Replaced the belt this morning but needed help getting the peaces out of the back pulley. Back on the road by noon today. That would have put me in Ottawa about midnight so I stopped at North Bay and will go on in to Ottawa tomorrow morning.
