peace
Filling the radiator, starting the scoot and slightly rocking the bike back and forth until the cooling system burped (air bubbles coming up from the radiator opening). After that fill with more coolant and repeat until radiator is full.

Well i figured out the problem, i didnt burp the radiator correctly. I topped off the coolant, rode for 20 minutes to the dealer and it didnt go past the center mark on the temperature gauge. I put it in for the 6k mile service just to get everything checked out.
Thanks for the help..
And BTW is there anywhere we can get aftermarket seats for the P250?
Or new seats?

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2004 Kymco People 250 with 6k miles from a Impound Tow Yard for $700 - clean title. The catch was, when i went to the DMV to pay the registration, it hadnt been paid for 4 years. Another $500 bucks for registration. So the total came out to about $1200, still not a bad deal at all.
I brought the scooter home, needed a new battery, put it in and it ran fine. BUT, after about 10 minutes of riding the temperature gauge gets very close to the HIGH level and sometime goes into the red. I thought to change all the fluids. I changed the engine oil, the gear oil, and added distilled water for the liquid cooling system. I rode it again and it rode for a little longer before again getting very close to the RED temperature.
After that i replaced the coolant, burped it and went to ride again - still the temperature gauge climbs to the red. Someone told me to check the fan.... not sure if that could be the problem, is the fan suppose to go on when the bike is on, or at all times? If the fan is out, it could be the fuse, where is the fuse box??
Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks for the help.
