LIKE 200i / KymcoUsa parts site
« on: October 23, 2019, 03:47:33 PM »
Has there been a change in the Kymco parts page, selected from their (kymcousa) website. When I now "click" on Parts it asks for a PIN & PW...which I thought I had (a log in name) but when I use it it says incorrect...with no way to correct it, change it  or ask questions. ??? Frustrating!

LIKE 200i / Customizing Like 200i
« on: September 27, 2019, 10:50:13 PM »
One of the joys of getting a new "toy" is making small changes that improve the looks and/or operation ...at least to the eye of the owner. here's a photo of my new 2018 Like 200i with some added pin striping. Around the leg shiels in 1/4" wide silver metallic pin stripe tape, while the red stripe is also 1/4" wide. Livens the scoot up a bit, tho I've not completely sold myself on the red stripe on the front fender. Waiting for those chrome front and rear bumpers and windshield.

LIKE 200i / New 2018 Like 200i...new owner
« on: September 25, 2019, 05:27:51 PM »
Just bought a new 2018 Kymco Like 200i in matte black. Traded in a 2014 Honda Forza 300 for it.   The Forza was a great scooter (I put 20,000+ miles om it), but my old age and health condition brought out the short comings of it's weight (150 pounds heavier then the Like 200i), making it a chore to push in & out of garage and up & off the center stand. Compared to the Forza, the Like is a joy to push around and get on & off the centerstand.  I've now got about 125 miles on it and am getting use to how easy it is the steer and ride. A couple questions have arisen:

1: Oil change...The owners manual puts a lot of emphasis on the 600 mile service and oil change, but I note there is also and oil change recommended at 200 miles. How many do that oil change?  With only one quart needed, the cost is minimal.

2: Oil used...Honda sells a HP4M oil that has "Moly" in it...the Moly is a friction reducer. Seems like it should be a good choice for the Kymco. Anyone using it?

3: Ride...the ride seems unduly hard, as did the Forza and a Honda Refex 250 before.  Anyone found a way to soften things up? Some of the problem is probably me...my current riding weight with gear is less then 120 pounds.

4: Parking brake and side stand safety switch:  or lack there of! I had thought those came under some Federal requirements. Apparently not!?

Hope to enjoy this scoot for a long time. Really like the style and am planning to ad the fron & rear chrome bumpers and a windshield. Attached are a couple photos...one, simulated xray, the result of a photo app on an iPad.
