For Sale / 2009 Kymco S 250 in NC
« on: December 08, 2010, 08:47:18 PM »
I bought this bike last summer and I am using it as my daily commuter. The bike has 2600 miles on is in great shape. I did have an aftermarket  drive belt let loose on me but after replacing it with a stock drivebelt I have had no other issues. Comes with the Shad 40 topcase. The bike is located in Sanford NC about an hour south of Raleigh. I know it is a less than ideal time to sell a bike so I am listing this scooter for 2000.00 which is what KBB lists as trade in value. Best way to reach me is by email creekfreek@gmail.com or by cell 919-935-9655.

Thanks
Jim

People 250 / 09 People 250s just died

New member on the forum and I have an issue. I was riding to work today doing 70mph on the freeway when I went to pass another car I noticed that the bike did not have any acceleration. Almost immediately after that the scooter died. I was able to get the bike off the hiway and onto the shoulder of the road. I tried to restart the bike and the scooter makes a horrible grinding noise and won't start. The scooter has about 2200 miles on the odometer and has run great in the last month or so that I have owned the bike. I did change the oil last week but can't recall anything out of the ordinary. I put 1.1 liters of oil into the bike after drainig the oil first. My wife did ride the scooter about 15 miles or so since I changed the oil. I checked the dipstick and the oil is at the right level.

I got the bike home in the back of a truck and will tear into it this evening. Anybody have any ideas on where to start. My initial idea is I screwed up the oil change but the bike is full of oil so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be the battery? Could it be the belt (unlikely with only 2200 miles)?
