« on: February 12, 2017, 06:31:52 PM »
Hi Everyone

Just over 2 weeks ago and just over 4k since my last belt broke, my 2012 Dowtown 300i belt broke again.  I don't know why this happening any suggestions.  Beside get a new scooter.  This time, I was using Dr. Pulley's sliders.

General Discussion / Houston Livestock Show
« on: March 18, 2016, 04:00:04 AM »
Hi Guys,

I just got back from the Houston Livestock Show.  The Sheriff deputies were riding scooters all over the grounds.  The sad thing was that they were not Kymcos.  They were Honda's Metropolitans.  Maybe next year, the Kymco dealers in the Houston area will get involved with the Livestock Show.

General Discussion / Bet and Win 250 Radiator issue
« on: November 20, 2015, 09:33:40 PM »
Helping out at Moxie's.  They have a Bet and Win 250, the radiator is spewing cold water into the overflow tank.  The temperature gauge is reading normal.  We replaced the hoses, water pump and the thermostat. Radiator has been flushed.  We are trying to figure out where the blockage is.  Any recommendations to resolve this issue is appreciated.

Thank you

Downtown 300 / Lost Compression
« on: October 23, 2015, 06:28:46 PM »
10/19/15 at 37,672 miles, my 300 broke down  The worst of part of this happening is that it happened on my wife's birthday.  I was going around 70 MPH on  Highway 114  in Grapevine.  The next thing, I knew I was losing power and the engine stop running.  No engine light turned on. When I stopped, I tried to start it but no avail.  She did not want to start,  It was 3 hours before the tow company showed up.  Local Kymco dealer (Moxie Scooters) is closed on Monday, so I had her taken to  my house.  I emailed and left a voice message asking Moxie to pick up my scooter.

Moxie Scooters picked up my 300 on Wednesday.  They thought the shut down was due to the battery charge being low.  But upon further review, they determined that the engine has lost compression.  To find out what caused the compression lost is the $64,000 question.  Could be a bad or blocked valve or an exhaust system issue? Who knows.

I will let everyone know later what caused the compression loss.

General Discussion / Wheelie
« on: August 10, 2014, 04:16:46 AM »
This morning, my wife and I were a cage going south on Texas Highway 121 in Euless, TX.   All of a sudden, a motorcycle comes zooming by.  He was doing 70 plus mph and riding a wheelie.  I don't think he had marbles.

General Discussion / Riding in the rain and using Raincoat
« on: August 04, 2013, 03:52:21 AM »
Hi Everyone,

I found a product that acts like Rain X that you can use on your visor or on your windshield if you ride in the rain.  It is called Raincoat and it is made by Moto-Solutions. The water beads up and disperses like Rain X

 I have been using Raincoat since June.  FYI: I ride everyday including rainy days.  My Downtown is my primary mode of transportation.  My meaningful work requires me to travel throughout the Fort Worth- Dallas TX area.

A couple of weeks ago when it was raining, I forgot to use Raincoat on Monday.  The rain was streaking down my helmet.  On Tuesday before I left for Wylie TX (42 miles away), I used Raincoat.  It started to rain when I was on Hwy121 Tollway (Lewisville,TX).  I could not tell if the rain was hitting my visor but I could feel it on my hands and arms and saw the rain hitting my windshield. 

So give it a try and see what happens.

Have fun riding

Ruben
