Hello Go Fast, I noticed no one had replied, yet...it may be because it can be very difficult to make suggestions when no one knows your specifics...you said a lot of parts have been changed / upgraded..but to what? It's hard to make suggestions without all of the necessary info..until someone else chimes in..enjoy your new scoot!

I've NEVER seen the valve cover gasket go bad on a Kymco in the 6 years I worked at the dealer. You can re-use, just put fresh engine oil on it when re-installing so it won't stick next time you do the valves.

that's the answer I was hoping for! I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Bettin

I can tell you who not to buy from...powersportswarehouse.com  (aka performance powersports in Seneca, SC).

Ordered a bunch of parts online in early Feb...nothing...they don't answer the phone..they don't return calls....left 4 voicemails and haven't received a call back. Pathetic way of doing business. It's almost 2 months since I placed my order and I haven't received it or any notification.....do not order from these guys.

I even left negative feedback on their website detailing my poor experience...think I'd get a call back? Nope..nothing.

I manage a $12M + multi state sales region...if our customers have a problem we bend over backwards to make it right...if they call with a problem we return their call the same day...these guys? What a joke...

good info so far...so it seems like the smaller, lighter weight, smaller wheeled scooters are much more maneuverable at lower speeds but we give up higher speed stability to the heavier, longer wheelbase motorcycles? Is that why it gets a little hairy on a scooter the faster we go? I've told some friends to imagine sitting in an office chair going down the road at 50 mph..that's what the scooter feels like!

I don't have an answer for you...but as a fellow People S200 owner I say welcome to the forum!

still new to this whole scooter thing...and my full face helmet doesn't fit completely under my seat on my People S200....wondering what you guys do with your helmet when you're out running errands, things like that?

I've carried it into a few stores..left it on my scooter a few times...curious what you guys do?

thanks..no dirt riding, here (at least not intentionally)! I was curious why I never seemed to read anything about anyone replacing shocks...must not be too much stress put on them by our scooters.

Stig - you're dead on..checking valve adjustment and new brake fluid is on my list before I start riding again in the Spring!  I'm going to assume neither of those has been done on my scoot.

 Does anybody replace the front brake line as suggested in the maintenance schedule after 4 or 5 years?

the rim tape looks great.. what color is that, white or silver? 

Any problems with the install, or is it as straight forward as it looks?
