People 250 / Hi, Newby with Brand New People S 250
« on: August 08, 2011, 01:57:48 AM »
Hey,
So i just purchased a Brand New People s 250. Got a fairly good deal on it as it was a 2009 but still in the crate. I test drove their floor model(same model different bike) and a honda 150 and decided on the Kymco because it was bigger and felt alot "safer" going 50mph and also hitting any kind of rough patches in the road. That and im about 375 pounds of man lol. I needed something that could carry my big self to school and back. I have a few questions about it. First, should i worry about bottoming out on speed bumps? Second, Does anyone know the actual carrying capacity of this bike? I have looked and looked and looked and cannot find anything at all. Also, ive read that thier is a way to adjust the spring load? For heavier load. Should i have the dealer do this during my first tune up? I mean when they built the bike they knew who it was for and i would imagine they already did this to begin with, but i would like to be able to check. Im new to the riding scene but it does seem to do alright with bumps/pothole and whatnot, it is a bit jarring but i assume that is the norm. Basically any helpfull comments about this bike would be much appreciated and if you could help me out with these questions i would be ecstatic.
