People 50 / Re: Transmission oil level mark or volume.
« on: June 27, 2014, 11:17:21 PM »
On my People 50 2T the excess oil doesn't go in to the airbox, it goes out through a breather hole and stains the rear rim. The air filter on a 2T is on the other hand only a oil soaked spunge so there the oil would not have been any problem.

Perhaps a bit of a long shot but one never know.
Mine did the same thing when it had done about 2000 miles. It was the ht lead that was broken on the inside (fatigue) just where it enters the spark plug cap. I cut the ht lead one inch and threaded the cap back on and it has been working since then and it now has 10000 miles on the clock.

I was a bit of a coward so I thought if 0.28 liters did not kill it 0.12 liter would not either. Do you by the way know if the figures for the 4t S50 version differ from mine. According to a german site they claim one should use 0.18 liter.

Just noticed that zero wrote that he has a 4t S50.

Now I have changed the oil. There were 0.28 liter (9.5 oz) in there. Poured in 0.12 liter (4 oz) new oil so I am really hoping the service manual is right.

The figures in the service manual are 0.12 liter at first fill up and 0.08 at oil change,nothing illogical about that, but if you follow the owners manual it says that you should fill to the bottom of the filler plug. If you want to do that you have pour in about 0.25 liter (twice as much). Quite a big difference to just leave uncorrected for more than ten years.
When I filled to the bottom of the filler plug the oil came out of the breather hole, after a long ride, and ended up ruining I the paint on the rear rim.

Really strange that Kymco never corrected it in over ten years when it's obviously wrong in some way . When I bought mine it was filled up to filler bolt so even their own dealers don't have correct information or perhaps they do?

Nothing written on the transmission casing on mine and it's a 2t 2004 by the way.

How much oil should I use in the final reduction of my Kymco People 50 2t? 0.12 liter as the manual says or fill up to bottom of the filler plug (about 0.25 liter) as the manual also states. I  know this has been discussed before but I don't believe I have seen an answer.

"..it's difficult to avoid runaway cows, much less wild boars, I don't care how slow you're going!!"   

I guess there is some logic in if I had been able to go much faster then the time I'm exposed to wildlife is shorter and atleast the cow would have been to slow to get up on the road in front of me.

You're probably right but most of my travel with the scooter is on a small gravel road (5 miles to work) to and home from work so 30 mph are about as fast as I can go anyway. Last week I hit one bird and a few turns later I touched a cow on the run with my right rear view mirror when riding to work in the morning. If I had been going a couple of mph faster I probably would have ended up in hospital. Perhaps a sign from above that I'm going as fast as I should.
 A couple of years ago I believe I got my first warning when I was just a few feet away from hitting a wild bore?(Pig) on the same road in the morning.

The reason I tried sliders was pure curiosity and that it felt like better solution from a engineering point of view. Rollers are only rolling on one side and sliding on the other.
 The reason that I haven't removed the boss is that you can loose your driver's license in Sweden if you remove it.

Thank you for your offer but I live in Sweden so sending them will be more expensive than the weights them selves. I also might need them in a future project.

I change my original 8.5 gr variator weights today to Dr Pulleys 8.0 gr sliding ones in my Kymco People 50 2t but that was not a good idea because I lost 5km/h top speed and the acceleration did not improve at all. So if anyone are thinking about doing that. - Don't. or atleast use heavyer weights
The variator is also a restricted original one btw.

My Kymco People 50 is impossible to run without the air cleaner fitted. If I so much as touch the throttel the engine stops.
When my speedo stopped working the inner wire in the speedo Cable was broken down by the front wheel hub and the clock runs on a separate clock battery behind the dash that perhaps needs replacing.

It was a LR43 in my People two. Change it to a SR43 as I was not able to find a LR43 battery around here. Hope it's ok. The clock works fine atleast.
