Downtown 300 / Speedometer stopped working

« on: March 21, 2018, 08:57:19 AM »

Hey all, so the other day I noticed that my speedometer stopped working. Normally when you turn the key before you start the bike, the speedometer and tachometer will do a sweep. The speedo doesn't do the sweep anymore but the tach still operates like normal. Both displays illuminate... the speedo just doesn't move, even when riding. I thought maybe the ECU had a glitch from the rain we've been having recently so I disconnected the battery for 24 hours and reconnected it...made no difference. Not sure what else to do, is it possible that the gear that operates the speedometer needle took a dump? The scoot is a 2012 with 5,000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem?

Downtown 300 / High beam modification - low beam to stay on when sw to high beam

« on: February 12, 2017, 02:49:16 AM »

Has anyone modified their headlight switch or harness so that when you switch to high beams, your low beams do not shut off while your high beams are on? Essentially what I want is for all the lights to be on for really dark areas when you need maximum visibility. I can do this by holding the flash to pass switch, but I'd rather have the feature work when switching to high beams.

Downtown 300 / How to: Install K&N Air Filter for DT300I

« on: October 15, 2016, 02:58:25 AM »

Hello Fellow DT300i owners, I thought I'd share with you today my newly acquired K&N replacement air filter for the DT300i. I bought this directly from K&N's official website. Part number is KY-2911. It says it fits the 2015 model, but it will also fit older model years like my 2012. Anyways, onto the quick and simple install!

Part number for the air filter!

Tools you will need: Phillips head screw driver (yes that's all you will need!)

Step 1: Place the scooter up on the center stand
Step 2: Remove the 8 black phillips head screws from the air box cover. (They are circled in red below) Then pull the cover off, it should come right off.

Step 3: Remove the 7 brass screws holding the air filter in place. Then pull the air filter out.

Step 4: Place the new K&N air filter where the old filter came out. It can only go in one way! Then secure the air filter down with the 7 brass screws. Tip: Don't tighten the screws in all the way until you have all 7 screws in!

Step 5: Secure the air box cover with the 8 black phillips head screws. Again, don't tighten them down all the way until you get all the screws in! Optional: Attach K&N stickers onto the air box, and you're done! Pat yourself on the back and have a cold one!
