People s150 / Re: Variator mod
« Last post by mrmike on Today at 03:24:56 AM »
    Stig

     I learned the hard way on my X-Town 300i. I read somewhere that the stock rollers were 17-171/2g. I bought 16g Dr. Pulley sliders for a little better low end performance. Turns out the stock rollers were 16g. I installed the sliders anyway. I'll just take my new People S 150 variator apart after I get 1000 miles on the scooter. Then I'll probably order 1g lighter sliders for it. It's only about a 1/2 hour job to pull the variator apart. I'll just let the scoot sit for a few days until the new sliders arrive.

General Discussion / First ride of year on my K-Pipe
« Last post by randyo on May 06, 2024, 11:30:17 PM »
been looking forward to riding, been in physical therapy for a couple months with the goal of throwing my leg over my motorcycles without a step up. Successful, the first 4-5 weeks didn't seem like I was really getting anywhere, last 2 sessions, throwing my leg over a huge beach ball atop a 5 gallon pail, was my workout

It worked, I easily get my leg over the K-Pipe's relatively high seat for the size bike it is, I think I can even mount my V-Strom now

the Zongshen 190cc fired right up as if it was already warmed up, and without any choke or throttle, I had forgotten how much quicker it is over the original Kymco 125cc. I rode around town (rural roads) and hour or so, till I was reminded that I want to change the saddle

Agility 125 / Bogs down at about 35 mph
« Last post by CBonafide on May 06, 2024, 08:43:29 PM »
Hello,
Recently my agility 125 dropped out while riding. It starts, idles fine, but when I give it a turn of the throttle it bogs down and chokes. I thought it might be the CDI but I had a new spare and tried it and nothing changed. It runs smooth if I feather it up to 30-35 mph then it bogs down. I cannot detect any type of vacuum leak either. Gas is clean, got a new plug wire, new CDI, anybody got any idea?

Technical | How To / Re: Battery tender connection
« Last post by randyo on May 06, 2024, 06:19:06 AM »
my AK550 that I thought was on a battery tender all winter was on a GFI circuit that popped, battery completely flat, I have another on the shelf, a Yuasa GYZ series, I have a flat SAE pigtail for battery tender access, but I'm gonna add a remote battery jump post kit, BS removing windshield, mount, front panel, probably dead battery in my fob too.

Side By Side / Re: High RPMs low Speed issue
« Last post by randyo on May 06, 2024, 01:24:43 AM »
sounds like an issue, not familiar with the 700, is it just hi/low like the 450i, or a 3 speed?
I get nearly 30mph in low range, and 48 in high and I can do it pulling a 1000lb toe behind backhoe

Hello and welcome to the forum!
I know zip about S/Sides - do these have hi and lo ranges?
You are still under the warranty - dealer a phone call?

@fneijts welcome here!
As Stig suggests pls give details of your scoot.

-are we talking about an in-fueltank pump?
-was the whole pump replaced or the motor only?
-bench testing requires a fully charged battery or workshop tester
-fuses are to be replaced
-cables to and fro pump checked for broken insulation?
