Got my new people 300 back from the dealer. problem was a defective map senor, replaced now running good.
did the 600 mi. service yesterday. 1.5 qts. of 5-40 shell rotella synthetic, 230 cc 75-90 mobile one and new oil filter (hi-flo 566 ). replaced stock air filter with a k@n # 33-2031-2 from O'reilly auto parts. price of filter was $45.
cut out paper filter and installed k@n in filter housing. length was perfect and width was 2/58in. trim rubber and glue new filter in . initial ride, no difference but you can hear more honking, ie more air getting into engine.
i like oldscoot have a vespa 300 super and i'm liking the people more. handles better, no wobbles from front end, so far i havn't tested take-off between the two. the vespa is no slouch on take-off and gets better gas mileage so far.
i'm sure people will improve with more miles. average mileage vespa - 75 mpg, people - 65 mpg.
i installed a givi windshield, much better on wind protection. see yea,ike
