Service Manual
« on: August 06, 2011, 09:48:00 PM »
Does anyone know where I can order an actual hard copy Kymco Service Manual or a CD version?
I have found some on the internet to download but I have a dial-up modem and they all state there
is too much info to download via dial-up!  Does anyone know a website where you can pull up the
parts-catalog and get all the blow-up views of all the assemblies? (Specifically the Downtown 300i)

Thanks for any help!
Thanks,  ED

I had the same trouble. I actually ordered a hard copy, and a CD turned up.
They charged me eight quid then I found out it was available for free - bastards!
Anyway, your best be a might be a trip to your local library with a memory stick in hand, then print it, (which is pretty much what I ended up doing)...

My kid just about destroyed mine when I left it on the coffee table one day.  I would love a copy no matter what the format.  ;D

You could try http://www.kymco.com/download/manual.asp?hdnMotorCapacityID=&PM=1&MotorTypeID=&MotorCapacityID=&Keyword=downtown&goSearch.x=12&goSearch.y=11

This is for the 200, but may be of some use, don't know if the engine's the same....

You've got me wondering whether I have the one that you are both after now.
Unfortunately my laptop was playing silly buggers last night when I went home and I couldn't get the neccesary files open.
I'll try again tonight.

NO, it's defintely the workshop manual that I have at home.
I've just read the onlive file that I quote yesterday and that's the crappy little book that came with the machine.
I'll get back to you...

(ED: The online version that TANWare quotes, is the right one, but non printable and non downloadable.)

Yes, I had gone to www.scribd.com and saw as a visitor you could not copy or download so I signed up for an account and found out I still had the same problem!   I talked to a "Dealer" out West who  advertises handling Service Manuals and I had gotten my People S200 manual from, told me Kymco is getting stingy with the manuals for the later models.
I'll have to keep checking.   Thanks for everyones help....
Thanks,  ED

Even my shop didn't have the manual. They had to call Kymco on the reset service light but I printed the screen shot for them as well. You would think to save money and time Kymco would just scan and place the manuals on line as PDF's...............
