Technical | How To / valve adjustment due
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:09:43 AM »
ok I am getting ready to do my first 600 mile service. I was looking over my GV250 at the AC generator cover, (chrome, says kymco)
I know when I gauge the valves with a feeler I have to be at top dead center. So I need to remove the AC generator cover so I can turn the flywheel. but it does not come off. It turns smooth with just the 3 bolts removed, It will pull out about a 1/4" then it has some drag to it as you turn it. So I am wondering if it was designed that way.
The manual shows the cover removed and a tool inserted to turn the flywheel. I have a call into Kymco tech support, have to wait till Monday unless someone here knows. I dont want to take the valve cover off untill I know I can turn the flywheel.

Grandvista 250 / Restrictors
« on: July 26, 2009, 02:20:22 AM »
Do any of you Grandvista 250 owners know if there is any restrictors on these bikes. Exhaust or manifold, I removed the restrictor from my Honda Mets manifold and it made a big difference. But it was only a 50cc and I believe they are restricted because a motor cycle endorsment is not needed for scooters that can only go 35mph.

Technical | How To / Grade Oil ????
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:01:57 PM »
Hello All,
Getting ready to do first 600 mile service. I have a Kymco Grandvista 250. The manual says to use 15w40 oil. I have not been able to find it at any local auto stores, so I went to the dealer and they dont even carry it, but said that they use 10w40. Any thoughts.
Thanx,
Bob
