Hi Rufus,

Thanks for your thoughts. I have to admit that I didn’t change the battery after the alternator died and was swapped.

Now that I think of it, the problem occurred after a temperature drop (heading into winter here in the southern hemisphere) which may indicate a dying battery. AGM Battery’s age is unknown as I bought the bike with the current battery installed a year ago.

I’ll try and put a second battery in parallel to see if this fixes the issue. Fortunately my partner has the same scooter so I can pinch its battery for testing 

Certainly if it is possible - and surely it is - it would have instructions in the owner's manual!?
There will be a ramp adjuster or threaded collar on the rear shocks - with a tool in the underseat tool kit?
If it uses a 'mono-shock' . the access will likely be underneath - possibly hidden behind a cover which you can open.

Best bet is the manual - or advice from another owner!
Good luck.

Pretty sure your scoot is EFI, no carb - it uses an electronic fuel management system and the idle is factory set.
Stock idle speed is probably @1800 +/- 100 RPM like my EFI'd LIKE200i.
I'm pretty sure the idle speed is not affected by the roller weights.
Maybe she just needs an Eye-Talian Tune Up!
Ride it a bit more at speed and see what happens!

Great pictures, Tom! Yours must be the very last operational Like in existence!

Thanks Karl!
A couple of tabs have let go in the panel around the handlebars (sub-freezing rides?) - and my repeated scuba riding finally locked up my front brake pistons - other than that is still a solid little scooter!
It has never left me stranded! I've never had to push it home.
I still think the LIKE200i and the Agility, the People and the Xciting 300's are the bullet proof models which push Kymco's reputation for reliability.

Take care Karl, nice to hear from you buddy!

BTW: read today that Major Bruce Crandall passed away a few days ago. In 1965, under the call sign of "Snake", he famously flew his unarmed Huey, repeatedly, into LZ X-ray in the (Battle of) Ia Drang. to resupply, and evacuate wounded. He. and his wing-man, "Too-Tall" Freeman were both awarded the Medal of Honor - decades later! (actions depicted in the film, We Were Soldiers)

Great pictures, Tom! Yours must be the very last operational Like in existence!
