Grandvista 250 / Back from storage...ready for the spring/summer/early fall riding!
« on: April 12, 2014, 10:26:43 PM »
I picked up my baby from the local dealership eariler today out of winter storage.  Upgrades:

Passenger back rest, diamond plate rear foot pedals (front ones discontinued), new left mirror, new side grips, fluids, etc..and and a nice bath and detail.....running beautifully.  I had a nice hour ride home and then around the Mall and parks, it's great to be back on two wheels. I will be riding her every chance I get...to work, errands 8)

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable riding season!

Grandvista 250 / Kymco Parts Online - are they for real?
« on: March 17, 2014, 08:48:07 PM »
Has anyone dealt with this vendor before?  I never got around to getting my front panel alumuimum floor boards.  My scooter is in storage at the dealer and they only had the rear in stock.  They informed me that Kymco discontinued the front flloor panels.  After asking around I found this vendor online and they said that they were going to order the parts from Kymco - interestingly, I only get a generic email response.  I do not get an email with a person's specific name, phone number, nothing and of course this raises a red flag for me.

Wanted to see if anyone else heard of them and/or have dealt with them before.  Almost time to bring the scooters out:-)))

Technical | How To / Installing skid plates on a Grand Vista
« on: June 19, 2013, 02:12:11 AM »
Hi - new member to the forum, will be picking up a used 2009 GV this weekend.  I want to order the Diamond plate for the front and back pedal area and just wondering if they're easy to install or will I need to take to a Kymco dealer to have them do it?  Does anyone know and/or have pics of their Kymco where they've installed the plates themselves?

Grandvista 250 / New Member with a New 'used' 2009 GV
« on: June 09, 2013, 12:06:22 AM »
Hello,

I'm new to the Kymco Forums! I'm finding a lot of useful information here.  I made a deposit on 2009 GV today.  I will pick her up in a week.  The first thing I noticed was she in bad need of a bath.  The buyer kept her....yeah, I guess it's a 'her' like me:-) in a storage room of the building that he owns and didn't give her the TLC she needs.  She had been sitting for several months with him starting it up every few weeks.  She has 3596 miles on her.  The head rest was stolen so that will be replaced. 

I also noticed that it has the regular seat which was a little high for me when I sat on it, comfortable but my feet weren't totally flat on the ground.  I'm thinking of replacing the seat also.  I also would add a luggage case, skid plates on the front and rear foot areas.  With it sitting for several months, she also needs a oil change since that wasn't done in a while either.

I am looking forward to getting it so I can take care of it - any suggestions, input, or comments would be appreciated!
