Kymco News / New addition to the Kymco family

Hey, y'all.
I was looking at Kymco USA and came across this new scoot:

Not exactly what I'd want, but good to see Kymco is bringing out new stuff.

« on: February 01, 2021, 08:44:13 PM »
Well, while perusing the ads, I came across this:
https://www.chandlerpowersports.com/details/used-2006-kymco-grand-vista-250/72809157
Me like!
But, I need to get to work on my wife's Vitality and my Suzy Bandit before I pick up something else.
If anyone out there snaps it up, please let us know and post pics/review.

Vitality 50 / Will a Kymco 150cc engine fit in a Vitality?
« on: January 28, 2021, 12:48:35 AM »
Hey, y'all.
I'm about to get started working on my wife's 08 Vitailty 2T, in a few days, which has been sitting for about 3+ years.
Last time I rode it, I heard a LOUD pop and it never started again. I toyed with it a bit and just left it in the corner of the garage.
It has a 70 cc BBK and other go-fast goodies and gets up to about 66 mph (not GPS verified). I'm trying to cover all bases, so I was wondering what I would do if the engine is trashed.
Does anyone know if a 150cc Kymco engine would bolt right in? If the 2T is toast, I'd wanna convert to a 4T. My thought process is the Super 8's 50 4T may be the "4 stroke version of the 50 2T"...and since there is a 150 cc Super 8....y'all see where I'm going with this.
Also, how about a GY6? If a GY6 would fit easily, I'd do the 171cc BBK. Of course if the engine is NOT trashed, I'll just keep it in the scoot and ride it till it dies.
In any event, I want to get it up and running ASAP.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Vitality 50 / Structural changes to Vitality 50 2T?
« on: November 13, 2020, 06:29:57 AM »
Hey, y'all.
I'm not exactly new...just returning after a few years or so.
My wife has a modded out Vitality 2-stroker (70 cc BBK, racing CDI, upgraded variator, cvt weights, larger carb, etc...)...tops out at 67 mph with me (5'11" 205 lbs) on it.
It's been sitting for a while and she has no interest in it, so I'm gonna get it cleaned up and running properly. Need to go thru the electrical as last time I rode it (3 years ago..?), it was going along fine, there was a pop and it died. Never got it started again. No problem..I can check everything from A-B and replace what needs to be replaced.
Anyway, I think I'll strip off the bodywork and kind of, sort-of do a "ruckus" job on it.
Has anyone ever stretched-out their Vitality? I want to push the rear tire, engine, etc..out about 4-6 inches. Maybe also add a fatty tire. Is there a kit to do this...or would I be looking at a machine shop to do some frame work?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Technical | How To / Vitality 50 2T turn signal buzzes
« on: March 13, 2012, 02:24:40 AM »
Hey, everyone.
How's it going?
Well, the title says it all. When I put the switch in either left or right, the relay buzzes like crazy and the signals do not work. I bought a new relay and the exact same thing happens.
So, today I put the old relay in and it may buzz a bit, but then the turn signals will come on, they just won't flash. It's hit or miss, sometimes it will just buzz, other times it won't while the non-flashing signals or...happens in both directions.
Anyone ever have this issue before? How did you fix it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

« on: June 19, 2008, 11:08:55 PM »
Anyone out there know how to de-restrict a Kymco Vitality 50 2T (2 stroke)? Please tell me how? Just trying to get more speed and "up-hill-ability" out of it.
Thanks!

General Discussion / Big bore kit for a Vitality?
« on: June 18, 2008, 08:11:00 PM »
Hey, gang. Anyone know where I can get a big bore kit for a Vitality 2 stroke? Has anyone done this and if so, what kind of power are you getting? What's a good performance exhaust for this scoot?
Appreciate any info!
