Anyone know what this noise may be coming from?

Heres a video of me riding and you can hear the whining noise.

General Discussion / People 150 : Whining noise on acceleration/deceleration between 20-40

« on: July 30, 2015, 05:02:30 AM »

Hey everyone,

I've been noticing that my Kymco People 150 is making whining noises when accelerating or decelerating between 20-40 mph. It isn't causing any performance problems but I do want to figure out whats going before anything gets worse.

I've done a recent oil change and transmission fluid change (less than 1k miles). Filled it the correct amount(not to the bolt).

I bought it a while back and I'm sure its due for a belt replacement soon as well, so it may have something to do with that.

Let me know!

General Discussion / Tuning people 150

« on: July 10, 2015, 09:36:04 PM »

Hello Everyone,

My scooter has been running a little funky lately. Seems like it needs to be adjusted for the new environment it is now in. I moved from a dry central California to southern california next to the water, so it's much more humid and wetter air here.

Can someone please link some tuning instructions/tutorials to me. It seems the air/fuel needs to be adjusted because the scooter seems to be running rich based on the slight backfiring happening when i slow down. I've tried adjusting the idle screw, but it can't seem to find the best setting. I either set it too low and after warm up, it dies in idle. or when i set it too high, the scooter moves on it own without any applied idle.

Thanks!

General Discussion / Roller upgrade for People 150,need advice

« on: July 02, 2015, 10:18:07 PM »

So I have a completely stock Kymco People 150 and I'm getting close to the time where I am going to replace my belt and might as well upgrade the rollers.

If I am not mistaken, the people 150 comes stock with 14g rollers. Which ones should I look into upgrade to?

Most roads around me require a top speed of 50-55mph. Currently, the top speed on the scooter is enough, but seems like it works overtime to maintain high speeds.

I would appreciate all input and advice. Also, if you have any suggestions on where to purchase from, please leave a link.

General Discussion / How much insurance needed for my Kymco 150?

« on: April 28, 2015, 08:53:53 PM »

Hello everyone.

I just purchased a used Kymco People 150 and need to buy insurance on it. How much insurance do I really need for this scooter?

Should I be looking at comprehensive coverage? etc...

I purchased it for less than $700.

Also, I am in California so I must have insurance.

Any suggestions and recommendations for insurance companies is much appreciated.

thank you

People 150 / New owner of People 150, need suggestions/hints and tips.

Hello everyone!

I am now a proud owner of a Kymco People 150. I love it! Does exactly what I need it to do, and is perfect for where I live and the distances I commute.

I want to ask you all for any suggestions for a first time moped owner.

The moped has 5k(8000 km) miles on it, so first thing I did was change Motor Oil, transmission oil, general cleaning, new fuel line hose(previous one was a little beat up), seafoam(inside the tank).

Anything else I can do to make sure this thing runs 100% ?

Also, any suggestions on improving safety and make sure I am seen on the road? Especially at night time, since the moped is entirely black with some chrome trim.

Thank you!
