People 50 / Re: Upgrade Options for 2011 People 50 4T

This is a bit late answer, but all GY6 parts are ok.  It will get more horsepower from a bigger cylinder and cylinder head.  Everything must be from the same system. Original cylinder head cannot be used(69mm valves). A better camshaft can be added.  Good thing in Kymco People is these big wheels, they handle much better than 12 or 13 inch wheels.

I took the telescopic foot away and tried to use this trick:

Unfortunately my workbench does not have revolving holder. Honda Innova has the same plug system and with proper tools the plug can be taken away. My method is easier and a lot faster. Simply turn the fork upside down and pour the oil in through the bottom bolt opening.
I have seen worse systems.  Orion chinese 50cc moped has a upsidedown fork with riveted bottom plug. I was so curious that i opened the fork outer tube with anglegrinder. I had to buy a complete front fork from a Derbi moped, where the fork is serviceable.

Yesterday I added the 20cc oil, so there is 100cc in total. Now it works well with enough damping power.  If somebody wants to do the same job, i found out that the easiest way is to add the oil from the bottom. The upper plug was so stuck, that i could not remove it. 
Now my People is almost ready. Next week the Metzeler front tire will be installed and new brakepads. The original speedometer had got water in it because of the missing computer rubberknob.  I installed a new mechanical counter from a Baotian scooter.
The reason why the the motor had seized was the oilpump sprocket, that had lost 12 teeth.  Connecting rod and piston were broken.
Now it has has 47mm piston and cylinder and all other moving parts and camchain etc.  Maybe it has been ridden 15000 km on it, because there was original 2006 year tire in front. Now this People S 50 will start its new life in Vaasa, Finland.

Thanks for the answers.  I read the Agility 16" and Super 8 shopmanuals.  The oil capacity is 97ml there.  Because the 16" Agility must have almost the same front fork, i will try adding 20ml  10W forkoil today.  Once i had a Baotian 12" scooter and i put 110ml oil and the fork did not work at all.
A little bit too soft front end is better than too stiff.

Hello, I have been checking this forum and found interesting information about front fork oilseal change and oil change There was some Downtown 300i owner, who said that 185cc is ok.  But then the People S 150 owner said that it is too much.  Then Kymco dealer suggested that 61cc is the right amount of oil.  The original Kymco People S50/S200 shop manual does not say anything about front fork oil change.
I tried 80cc, but the fork feels like too soft.  It is a terrible invention this  fork endplug without any place for a tool, just some snapring.
Does anybody know the real amount of oil and viscosity?  It would be nice to get this scooter on the road after having put all new parts in the engine. My People scooter is actually 3hp 45 km/t finnish EU-model, but the frame and suspension is the same as in 150 and 200 models.
