General Discussion / Re: Pet carrier for a Yorkie

I agree, it's his choice.But, having a dog or any animal,just sitting without any restraints or any type of carrier, is very dangerous and irresponsible. I have a little yorkie/bishion,who is a very important part of our family, and I would never consider doing anything like that.

Bad boy, I bought my first Chinese scooter about 4 years ago. Znen Venice 150. I have ordered parts from partsforchinesescooters and a couple of others, there are many. I knew nothing about scooters. Now I am a Chinese scooter technician. If you have any mechanical ability, it is fairly easy. Just make sure that you order the right parts for the right model..

Hey Ivor, I happen to be in London, as I type this. Just got back from Paris, last night.
I've never seen so many scooters and small cc bikes. This is awesome. I'm still trying to find a dealer, so I can take a look around. So many more choices,than in the states.I'll be here for 3 more days, I will keep looking.
Cheers,

Rich

Yea, Stig. Be careful. I don't know how bad you want to sell the burgman, but I would try to sell it locally. I would not ship it,until you know you have every penny in your possession. It's a shame,but you really can't trust anyone these days.

I had to change 1 once, on my 150cc Lance Venice scooter. It was pretty easy. Getting access, to the correct wire (cable) would be the toughest part. Not sure how much body plastics,you would have to remove.

de dee, sorry to hear, that it's getting hard for you, to do some of the maintenance on the scooter. If I lived closer to you, I would be glad to help. I bet that I would learn a lot. It's awesome,that you still ride and do all your maintenance. You have helped me out,on a few occasions too. Thanks I appreciate your posts.

Downtown 300 / Re: Cheapest Kymco Parts
« on: June 26, 2017, 07:30:00 AM »
Honestly, owning a scooter or motorcycle, you will soon find out, nothing is cheap. Even parts for my 150cc Chinese scooter,are quite pricey.
There are several company's, and price wise , they are all about the same.
For my Kymco DT300, I have used kymco parts monster, in the past,without a problem. You can even call them, and actually speak to someone.

No, that is the nut for one of the pulleys. The cover almost gets welded on, from the heat. Carefully try to pry it off,without ruining the gasket. Mine does not have that filter, but it looks like it should be cleaned. Maybe try to give the cover a few gentle taps, with a rubber mallet and try to wiggle it free. I'm sure you get some more suggestions.

You definitely have to remove the seat and tub, to access the battery. I hooked up a battery tender and have the plug end near the left rear shock ( not so close so it gets pinched ) . Mostly used in the cold months, when rides are few and far between
