I just saw a You Tube video on a Kaoko throttle stabilizer. Has anyone here tried one, and with what results.

Technical | How To / ABS light
« on: June 16, 2024, 12:47:29 PM »
I have a new ('23) People S 150i ABS. When I start it up all the warning lights go out except the ABS. If I let the scooter idle the ABS light stays on. Once I start to take off then it goes out. Is it normal to stay on when idling during start up?

Technical | How To / Dr Pulley sliders
« on: June 15, 2024, 10:26:36 AM »
Well I finally got everything done on my new People S 150. The last mod will be Dr. Pulley sliders. I'm going to take the scooter apart first to see exactly what weight rollers are in it. Then I'll probably order sliders that are 1 or 1 1/2 oz lighter for better city acceleration. My question is where to buy them to get the fastest shipping time. I'm leaving the scooter apart until the new sliders come. I want the least amount of down time possible. Looking for vendor suggestions.

Technical | How To / S100 Total Cycle Cleaner
« on: June 13, 2024, 09:44:58 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with S100 Total Cycle Cleaner? I've been watching You Tube videos, and there seems to be mixed opinions about it. I would use it mainly to clean the spoked wheels on my People. Is it worth trying?

People s150 / Hand Guards
« on: May 31, 2024, 11:08:08 AM »
I just bought the American version of the '23 People S 150i ABS. I really love the scooter. Watching videos on You Tube I saw that in other countries this model has clear plastic hand guards that help protect against the wind. Do any members on here know how I could purchase a pair of these to install on my scooter?

Technical | How To / variator locking tool
« on: May 22, 2024, 01:12:08 PM »
I'm getting ready to install some lighter Dr. Pulley sliders in my '23 People S 150i ABS scooter. I want to purchase a variator locking tool beforehand. I looked on Amazon, and the selection is endless. Can anyone recommend a tool that will fit to lock my variator?

Technical | How To / Gasoline
« on: May 09, 2024, 09:37:40 PM »
I know that my People S 150 will run just fine on regular 87 octane gas. How about ethanol-free gas?
My local gas station has 90 octane ethanol-free gasoline. It is the same price as their 93-octane gas. They both cost $.81 more per gallon than the 87 octane. My scooter is fuel injected. Is there any advantage to running ethanol-free that would justify that price difference?

Technical | How To / Battery tender connection
« on: May 05, 2024, 03:05:10 PM »
On my new '23 People Sport 150i ABS the front cover has to be removed to access the battery. Rather than doing this every fall, I came up with this solution. I drilled a small hole in the top of the little compartment (glovebox?) on my scooter. I then shortened the Battery Tender connecting wires. I routed the wires through the hole and connected to my battery. Now to charge the battery, I only have to open the door and connect the Battery Tender. The compartment is small but will still hold my cell phone and garage door opener.

People s150 / Variator mod
« on: April 12, 2024, 08:24:23 PM »
With my last 3 scooters I've replaced the stock rollers with Dr.Pulley sliders. I usually go 1 gram lighter and have been happy with the results. I am going to do this on my '23 People S 150i ABS. Does anyone know for sure what weight rollers this scooter comes with from the factory. I can tear it down, weigh the rollers, and order the correct sliders. The problem with that is the several days or weeks of down time waiting for parts. My last scooter (X-Town 300i ABS), I got some bad info and ended up installing sliders that were the same weight (16g) as the stock rollers. If no one knows for sure, I'll tear it down and hope for several rainy days until my new parts come in.

Eye Candy | Videos and Pics / Finally ready to ride
« on: April 07, 2024, 04:16:04 PM »
Here's my '23 People S 150i ABS finally ready to ride. I've got my Moto Discovery GPS mounting bar, and my Shad SH 33 top box installed. I just applied some black reflective graphics for better night time visibility. It also sets my scooter off from a stock one. Eventually I'll change out the variator rollers for lighter Dr. Pulley sliders.

I've been watching several You Tube videos on S100 total cycle cleaner. I'm getting too old to get down to clean my scooter properly. This product may be the answer. It almost seems too good to be true. Have any of the forum members used this product? Does it work as claimed?

Technical | How To / Iridium spark plug
« on: April 04, 2024, 12:19:14 PM »
Are Iridium spark plugs still the best way to go? I've had them in all my other 3 scooters with very good luck. I want to put one in my new People S 150i ABS. Good idea?

For Sale / Shad light kit
« on: March 28, 2024, 09:54:48 PM »
Just installed my new SH AD SH33 top box on my '23 People S 150i ABS scooter. Installation was very easy, but I discovered the Kymco rear carrier extends past the top box, and it is impossible to install the Shad light kit. I got one for sale cheap ( $10 + shipping) if anyone is interested. mrmikesdeuce@aol.com

Technical | How To / Buyers beware (Shad light kit)
« on: March 28, 2024, 03:02:50 PM »
I just bought a '23 Kymco People S 150i ABS scooter. I ordered a Shad SH33 top case, mounting kit, backrest and light kit also. The rear carrier on my scooter has 4 threaded holes that line up perfectly with the Shad mounting plate and the install was a breeze. The problem is with the light kit. On this model scooter the rear carrier extends out past the end of the Shad mount making it impossible to install the light kit. If any of you are considering a Shad top case purchase and want the extra light, make sure you can install it before you buy it.

Technical | How To / GPS or phone mounting bars
« on: March 24, 2024, 09:59:58 PM »
Just a note for any forum members looking to mount a GPS or phone on their scooters. Get a mounting bracket from Moto Discovery. I had one on my X-Town 300i, and I just bought a new one for my People S 150i ABS. They are very well made, fit perfectly, and they have a huge selection for many models. Here's the site if anyone is interested. https://moto-discovery.com/eshop/
