Downtown 300 / Kymco Downtown 300i 2012 Engine Knocking Noises
« on: February 26, 2026, 11:18:13 PM »
I'm currently quite desperate about the noises coming from my engine.
The scooter came to me from its first owner, a retiree. Unfortunately, it was mostly used for short trips and did not have an oil change for six years, with a total mileage of only about 5,000 km :/
I recently bought it and I'm generally satisfied, but I really don't like these rattling/clacking noises when I accelerate and when I let off the throttle.
