Hey Y'all. I used this site and all of your posts to help me decide on buying a Kymco Yager Scooter.
I shopped around for a while and then ran across this new 2012. The dealership was "getting out" of the scooter business and gave me a REALLY great deal.
So I hauled it home in a trailer, filled it up with gas and rode around all afternoon.
I had a lot of fun.
Thank y'all
David

He ain't from around here is he! Good luck w/ the new scoot!

@zombie Thanks :-)
As terrific as the dealership was, they must have put about 2 ounces of gas in the tank. It took 2.4 gallons to fill it up. The bike had about 1 mile on the odometer.
So I'm being real carful filling up the tank and I'm noticing this guy in an SUV that is waiting on me to finish. As I finish up and begin to pull away, he gives me a thumbs up. That was cool.
I had to pass one driver on a 45 MPH road. They were poking along at about 42 or something. I wondered as I passed them, how it felt to be passed by a scooter.
Do any of you guys here give the hand out wave to motorcyclists?

South Carolina actually. Born in Michigan but raised here. This state has some "catchin up" to do but there is a tiny little light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it's not a train.
Now I need the best hard case I can find.
Has anyone ever heard of an exhaust mod on a Yager?
Later,
Dave

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have another Yager on board. Is there anything new on it as opposed to my 2010? My only mods are cigarette lighter, to charge battery, etc, and flashing brake lights which I think are great.
I find most wave. Sometimes it's funny to see them change their mind mid-wave. I give a big nod.

Flashing brake lights? Man, I'm going to have to check that out. :-)
The 12V accessory is a great idea too.
Don't know if they made any changes since 2010.
On my first ride, I was so impressed when I was able to stretch my legs out at the upper portion of the floorboard. It's like highway pegs on a cruiser.

Thanks Richard,
BTW, after your post, I went out and looked and the Yager does not have a 12V accessory plug. Of course being an Electrician from birth, I could simply wire one up. But still.... :-)
