I plan to buy brand new Downtown 300, not the 350. they already sell latest downtown 350 as downtown ST here in korea. I decide to skip the newer model because of the riding position are even worse compared to the old downtown, the handle bar are lower compared to the older one. and somehow the acceleration of downtown 350 are the same. I try my coworker 2012 downtown 300, it feels much faster compared to 2014 downtown 300. both of them are stock and downtown 300 from 2012 have double the milleage of 2014. Is it because older version of Downtown have more power compared to the older one? i even try with GPS, that actually older downtown are faster by 1 second from 0-100. Anyone have idea about this? If older downtown are more powerful, i will just go buy a used one.

Hi Guys, Let me introduce my self.
I'm Vincent, Indonesian but live in Seoul, South Korea now.
I just bought 2009 Dink 200i (that's how they call yager here).
This is my 3rd Kymco, always own Kymco scooter before.

The engine runs really smooth, the odometer right now 11.000miles.

But i have several problems with my scooter:

1. It seems i have problem after the Kymco service center changed my spark plug into Denso, i forgot the series. but it seems its non resistor type. i remember after i changed my spark plug, the engine light come up several times. or is it normal to have engine light come up several times after i ask them to check with kymco diagnostic tool? And it runs rough after i change my spark plug. if i accelerate hard, it will cough, bogged down and it seems it will stall. sometimes the engine light come up too.

I changed new air filter, i cleaned up the throttle body. actually if i normally pull the throttle, everything works fine. I already order NGK iridium DPR7EIX-9 for this scooter and i will change it by myself after i get my plug wrench. i don't have the plug wrench 18mm for this scooter.

Is it caused by spark plug? this is my first injection scooter. I no longer ride my scooter right now because of this problem.

2. When i start the engine, it starts but after engine turn on it makes weird sound "kerrrrrrrrrrr" for 2 seconds. I think this is my starter clutch is it?

3. when i removed my speedometer to cleaned up the speedometer plastic cover, it seems it also reset my ECU. after i plugged it back, the CELP light plugged in several times. is it correct? i thought only removing batteries reset the ECU.

I changed my front pulley, belt, new tire front and rear with Pirelli Diablo Scooter. So far this is a really good scooter, i can goes up to 75mph.
We can't go to highway here, so its pretty decent scooter for medium distance touring.
I plan to ride from Seoul to Jeju which basically i ride all the way from the north to the south of the country. That's why i prepared everything.
