Aw crap I was hoping that the front winkers would tolerate just the LED lamps with out having to put a resistor in line.  Oh well I will let you know how it turns out.   Jim.

Hey Kids I was hoping that someone might be able to answer this.

  I am looking for equivalent bulb sizes or numbers for the turn front and rear and the stop turn lamps such as (1157) or whatever.  I have tried several avenues which so far have not panned out.   I am trying to relamp the scooter with led's and I need the standard numbers.    Thanks for your help   Jim.

Hey Pitta you lucky dog ya I would love to have a real People 300 here in America we got stuck with the 300 gt that has no room and no storage to try to ride long distance and the seat sucks too! 

   The stand is supposed to have a rubber insulater to keep it from smacking the bottom of the engine/ transmission case but they often come off I saw where one scooter owner used a piece of rubber and a band clamp.

   I haven't seen a manual for the 300 People but most of the scooter is still the People 250S  they just changed the electrical and engine.   

(http://www.timtaylor.net/Scooter/Manuals.htm)  try here for a People 250s manual and you will probably need t download the .RAR opener as well.     

Good luck and enjoy the riding!.     
   

My own experiance with brake pads for the People 250S and grandvista are to always use only Kymco replacement pads, sure they are softer and wear a little faster but they stop well progressively and do not harm the rotor surface the way more aggressive harder pads will and in my case did.

 I had the shop replace the front pads a couple of years ago and they (upgraded) the pads I noticed right away since it took twice as much force to clamp and then when I rode on cold wet days they took twice the distance to stop again with much more force.  but they wear like iron now it's the rotor that is getting grooved and the slide bolts are not being cleaned and lubed as often as a result.  So the best advice I can give you is to use factory parts and spend a few bucks and minutes every two years.     Jim.

No problem with that anything that prevents oxidation is a good thing, and I like the idea of using blue locktite on the battery bolts.  Keep riding! 

Last May 21st. I work nights at 10 mins till 10 I struck a Raccoon and went down hard  broken collar bone broken scapula 8 broken ribs two which still wont knit and a punctured lung.   I was wearing an armor jacket boots new HJC CL Max 2 helmet and gloves it was a two lane road so after checking on the important things fingers, toes, neck all worked fine and had good feeling I did a quick assessment and decided the middle of a lane was not the best position to be in so tried to get up and that's when I felt the scapula crackling around so crawled off of the pavement and waited for someone to come along.

      Nice lady stopped saw me and asked if she could help yes I replied call 911.   the ambulance ride sucked SOB hit every bump in road.   I didn't realize how bad it was until the ER doc looked over the xrays and asked me if I had a helmet on, since I was the first person living with these injuries.  sobering  On thursday Finally had surgery for collarbone nothing else.  four weeks later went to surgeons for evaluation he saw our jackets and helmets and told me I was healed and get out. 

     So we have been riding since all summer the bike suffered very little damage from the ordeal and have put a little over 5,000 miles on it since then One item I did add was a much brighter headlamp  a 55 watt HID unit from  http://www.ddmtuning.com/Product-Categories/Motorcycle-HID-Kits-Lighting The kits are cheap but the shipping sucks.  I am mostly healed but very leery of little animals darting into the roadway.           

No matter how bad it gets this year it cant beat a couple of years ago.
