People 50 / Tube inside air box
« on: March 31, 2015, 04:28:57 PM »
Hi!  :)

Many times I've been wondering what's the purpose of this tube inside air box. I thought that it prevents water and dirt from entering the air box, but if that's the main reason then it is doing its job quite poor - after rain when I open the air box there is always some water and dirt inside. Then I thought that maybe this tube is some kind of restriction? Like it prevents more air from entering the air box, reducing power and so on. It's made from rubber and getting rid of it should be quite simple. Any ideas is it worth doing so?

People 50 / Looking for handguards
« on: January 18, 2015, 05:41:46 PM »
Hi,

I was wondering if any of you guys use the handguards? I would like to buy a pair but I'm not sure which ones will fit my scooter as there isn't any easily accessible space on the handlebar itself. My guess is that they should be mounted to the ends of the handlebar, somehow like below but preferably sturdier. What do you think? Do you have any good ideas?

People 50 / New speedometer cable not working, why?
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:31:38 PM »
Hi!

I've got an issue with the speedometer and was wondering if some of you fellow Kymco users would know the answer.

So, the cable broke near the wheel in the summer, it took me some time before I figured that and ordered a replacement and removed the old cable together with the plastic coating/tube. Recently I installed new cable and coating/tube which I bought from Kymco dealer, it's the same as the old one. But even though I changed it, the speedometer showed only like half of the real speed and the red pointer was shaking and jumping. Later the speedometer constantly showed only 10-15 kmh when I was riding at around 60-70 kmh. Now after 500 km which I have traveled during few last days, the pointer on speedometer doesn't move at all. When I turn the scooter's ignition on, the red pointer goes all the way to the max speed and back to the 0, so it's fine I guess? Do you think it might be something wrong with the thing (don't know how to call it) at the front wheel, where you insert the speedo cable, or maybe you have some other wise remarks for a total newbie like me?

People 50 / In order to start remove the spark plug?!
« on: September 16, 2014, 06:09:28 PM »
Hi!
This is my first post here. But it's not the first time I'm visiting this forum - thanks to all of you, I've read and learned a lot here!

I'm a happy owner of Kymco People S 50 2T from 2008. I mostly ride it in the mountains and small villages, usually travelling distances around 40 miles. Sometimes I want to start my scoot and it doesn't start up - sounds like a common issue - but it's not that simple. The only thing which makes starting up my scoot possible again, is to remove the spark plug and then kick the start pedal a few times. Then I insert the spark plug back and my Kymco starts up with the first touch of electric starter like brand new.

The spark plug looks good, it isn't flooded with gasoline and has brown color. One time when this issue with starting up happened again I tried inserting a brand new spark plug. It didn't help. I keep the air filter clean too. What's interesting is that I discovered the only thing that fixes this issue is as I said before - removing the spark plug and kicking the start pedal a few times. It's a bit annoying as it takes some time to do that. What do you think may be the reason for this issue happening? Could something be not right with the engine itself?

I'm awaiting your insights on this case guys :)
