Technical | How To / Magnetic drain plug?

« on: September 06, 2012, 01:51:50 PM »

I have a people 150. Before changing the oil this time, I purchased a prima magnetic bolt oil drain kit (part # 1300-1007). In order to install the bottom bolt, I have to eliminate the spring and screen. The magnet won't let the spring seat properly. Is this the correct way???

Technical | How To / measuring variator rollers

« on: July 23, 2012, 11:47:05 AM »

I have a 2010 Kymco people 150. I want a little more performance out of it, so I'm goint to install lighter rollers and a 1000lb clutch spring. I want to take it apart today and see what my stock rollers are. I have a postal scale to weigh them, but I don't know what measurements I need. How do I measure to ensure I order the correct rollers?

People s150 / suggested jet size

« on: July 14, 2012, 02:35:27 PM »

I have a 2010 people 150. I pulled the stock plug at 600 km and it is burning lean. I am going to install a new NHRC alloy exhaust and will re-jet at that time. I need some size suggestions because I don't know what size jet is in it stock, and do not want to pull it apart until I have the replacement jets in hand . I'm just doing the exhaust for looks and sound. I am leaving the air filter and the rest of the scooter alone. It does a verified 60mph and I'm happy with that.

Technical | How To / Running lights

« on: July 01, 2012, 07:33:51 PM »

I recently purchased a new (2010) people 150. I love the scooter so far, but those front turn signal lenses that aren't utilized are a waste. I would like to install bulbs and sockets in them and wire them with the headlamp to be running lights. Are there any potential electrical problems with doing this? I also would like to change the tail/stop bulb and the working turn signal bulbs to LEDS. Where can I find replacement bulbs?

Technical | How To / NHRC exhaust system

« on: June 19, 2012, 12:05:35 PM »

I just saw pictures of a people 150 with the NHRC alloy exhaust system. I really like the looks of it and would like one. The question is whether it will effect the warranty on my brand new (2010) scooter.

Technical | How To / proper oils?

« on: June 17, 2012, 08:22:28 PM »

After looking around, I could not find a 15-40 full synthetic oil. I am going with Mobil 1 10-40 for the motor, and Mobil 1 75-90 for the transmission. Will there be any problems mechanically or with the warranty with these choices?

People 150 / Difference between years

« on: June 14, 2012, 09:56:21 AM »

I just bought my "new" people 150 with only 5 miles on it. The registration says it is a 2010 year model. I've seen 2011 & 2012 models advertised on line and they all look the same.. I'm wondering if the "newer" models have any improvements that I might incorporate on my 2010?

Technical | How To / Synthetic oil or not

« on: June 13, 2012, 08:18:48 PM »

I just bought a new people 150. I run full synthetic oil in everything else I own. The dealer I bought the scooter from does not recommend full synthetic for my scoot. What are your thoughts, and if I change over. How soon?

I'm a 68 year old male whose Harley got too big and heavy for him. I just bought a brand new (2010) people 150. Only rode it on a test run so far, but I think it will be a fun toy. Looking foreward to members expertise in this column.
