Sorry you're having problems, Mass. Hope they can get it fixed without too much expense and hassle. I just hope my seat release never goes south with no direct key release. I have a PCH 150, so you know what I'm talking about.GLV55: I'm bringing her in tomorrow morning to my Kymco dealer. Fingers crossed that it won't cost me a lung for the repair/replacement. The PCH125 is a great scooter for the money! I paid $1800.00 for her OTD (not including taxes) I bought it for my wife to keep @ my parents home in Florida. We only go down about 4 times a year. I use the SYM HD200 down there.
Just returned home with my GT300i. I really love this scoot! It's paid for & I won't sell her for a long time to come. Bought it new in 2012 & I have 4500+ miles on her. Never had an issue. Bummer that Kymco doesn't offer the GT300i is Silver anymore. The Burnt Orange is a hideous color IMHO & Black is decent, but not my color.
Quick question to all of you GT300i owners. Do you use a new oil filter every time you change your oil? I put on around 1500 miles a year & I do change it out every time. The HiFlo #566 cost around $3.00 per filter.
New England is warming-up!
Hi, MassScoot,
I also have a 2012 300GTi, black, 5600 miles on the odometer. Bought it new in April of '14. They don't sell too fast out here in New Mexico!
Out here in the world of constant sunshine, I don't put mine up for the winter...but I do replace the oil filter each time I change the oil. I think it's a little cost to benefit ratio! And, I change the oil every 3.000 miles.
Have a nice summer of riding up there.

Karl: Must be so nice to cruise your GT300i all-year. My thoughts exactly. For the cost of $3.00 for the oil filter, it's worth changing it out @ the end of our season (October)You know , there MASS, it is about time for another boat/scooter/Atlantic photo session.
My wife & I own a 24' boat & on the weekends (we live on the MA. seacoast) that's what we do (short 6 month season) It's why I don't put many miles on my GT300i. Still.....I love what I have & there's no reason for an upgrade IMHO. I love the Piaggio BV350 (blows away the looks of the GT300i) but the nearest dealer is 40+ miles away. My Kymco dealer is 10 miles from my home. I'm happy overall in the end.

Somethin' !
Remember, some of us are in the middle of this wonderful country with naught but cows and corn to look at.
You got ocean. Boat. Scooter. New England.
Pick one - take pictures and post!
Make us crazy - mix 2 or 3 together in the same photo! :)
Thanking you in advance, the Stig
Stig: Will do! My wife & I live in such a great seacoast village (population around 1500) More in the summer months.Thanks MASS - looking forward to those pix.
Here's a couple of links of our little village:

Right you are !- IMHO

I change my oil and filter every 1000 miles. That will probably equate to about once a year. I bought a case of filters and use full synthetic oil in the engine and rear end. Quick and cheap insurance for my investment IMHO.
