when I bought mine used with only 107 miles on it, was the same way. thinking the dealers forget to install as the battery is probably not shipped in the machine or charged

Dave: When you buy a Piaggio, the retail price might be somewhat close, but it doesn't stop there my friend. 1st...Many Kymco dealers will "wheel & deal" with pricing. Piaggio will not. Also...wait til' you get the BV350 set up, freight & doc fees & try not to fall out of your seat. As many posters have mentioned....Labor rates are $35.00-$40.00 more an hour, parts can be a complete horror story.

Do I like the BV350? You bet. Better looking then my GTi300 by a country mile, but the dealer is 40+ miles away & I laughed @ them when they informed me about their fees. I walked out & scored the GTi300 that day. They called me back the next day & told me they would waive the $220.00 doc fee. I told them...too late, bought a Kymco.

thanks for the info, and basically the same thing I experienced, and they were doing that on the 300i also, dealers around here are nuts, there is a kymco dealer south of here that is better

i haven't upgraded yet

Ok, here is my dilema, I'm either going with a Kymco People GT 300i or a Piaggio BV 350. I'm leaning towards the BV 350. They both will do highway speeds with no problem and then some, both get in the range of 65 mpg, but the Piaggio has a 3.4 gallon fuel tank vs the Kymco's 2.4.

Any thoughts? I like both, they are comparable in price, the Piaggio is a few hundred dollars more, so no big deal there.

My guess is the angle of which you tighten the cables are rubbing against the battery tray area.  When you ride the rubbing on the tray is bumping the cables loose, no matter how tight they are.  Make sure the cables are not rubbing anywhere in the tray area.

i agree....i also added a lock washer to mine, can't remember if I changed to a longer bolt or no

one thing you can do is add a lock washer, it may need a slightly longer bolt if it doesn't reach since you still need a flat washer behind the lock washer

The problem is, listed below the price "plus tax and fees".

What is the out the door price? Dealers give you all kinds of stuff, freight, documentation fees, prep, etc. that they will say they have to get. The only thing that concerns me is the out the door price, that's what really matters. A out the same price at a dealer in Phoenix, but when I called them asked for the out the door price, could buy it cheaper here.

« on: October 30, 2012, 08:56:50 PM »
I had some cheapo wedge bulbs I got off ebay for $1.79/10. (I think they are 194's).

Took the MET-In bulb out and tried one and it works great! I hope if I ever leave the seat open
it won't kill the battery!

got a link?

On the oil light operation, I have a question:

Does it come one every 600 miles, or at the first 600 miles, and then 1200 mile intervals afterwards?

to tell you the truth, not sure, i thought after resetting that the number on the display was zero, so no more intervals, you can probably change it to whatever you want, i would think it acts like a countdown timer, but come to think of it, not sure what my display read when i reset it

sure someone else can chime in and answer your question

Just an update to this for others.

Turn on your key,
Hold down the 'adjust' button
It will switch between 'odometer', 'trip', and what they call the 'oil service meter', so if you are not on odometer or trip, then it is on oil service meter.

Then push and hold both the 'mode' and 'adjust' buttons until the service light goes out and the miles on the display reset.

oops, its my oil light, not check engine light.  My oil is full, I changed it a couple months ago and haven't put on many miles, ran the codes, i'm getting code 4, TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), have no idea why, will search other posts about the oil light if there are any

question, how do you reset codes?

Ok, was just my oil service light, so I reset it, and it also cleared the TPS code 4, interesting.
