Just read in the manual to check the oil by NOT threading the dipstick into the engine.  Is this correct?  If so, I have been checking incorrectly ... is this true of all scooters?  I always screw the dip back in. 

Thanks

Yeah first time I checked my new Like 150i’s oil I did the same thing, screwed it in like my last couple scooters did.  Then I read the owners manual And freaked out it was underfilled (turned out not by enough to worry about). I find it odd but whatever I know what to do now

No rules I've seen. In General Discussion, there are numerous topics on politics and voting.
The only restriction I've seen is staying on topic, which I understood that post to be negative as the OP was about condo associations.
But, mods/admins make that call. YMMV

IF you question a post, use the "Report to moderator" link.

I'm interested in @Snoopzilla saga on dealing with this and what (if any) changes result.

. Oh and an update on the association scooter saga.  They’ve approved of our solution to temporarily rent an unused corner of the garage to store a couple scooters in so at least the Gal can park her car back in the spot, as she doesn’t use her car that much.  Still pretty ridiculous, but since we are planning on moving shortly anyways, at least it’s something.

They sell on E-bay and at there own website.

I sent them an email inquiry, will report back what they respond with

Is that what's in the bylaws or is that just the opinion of the person who's jealous of your toys, & efficient use of space?

Pretty much what the one person who’s jealous of our toys says.  Although the bylaws don’t specifically cover this situation (think it basically states the space is to be only used for personal vehicle and not to store personal belongings) although we have offered a few different solutions, we have not heard back because I think no one else really cares about it but that one person.   We just figured a house with a nice garage would be better.  Both of our cars have suffered hit and runs by terrible parallel Parker’s that can’t be respectable and responsible to leave their insurance info.  It’s gotten old.  Excited to have a garage the most.  Hopefully it’s big enough for both our cars and the scoots, if not I would just be happy to have my car in our own driveway.

People also think that Kymco accidentally  inserted a rubber part into the air intake tube, which is retricting the air flow in the tube to the air filter box. 
To get more _______ (your choice, "noise", "power", "speed", "mpg's") just pull out that restricter.
IMHO, lads at Kymco might have put it there to increase the velocity or pressure of the air stream. So I spend my time checking the tire pressures.

Oh ok.  Kind of figured that.  Just really looking for an exhaust that looks better.  Not really interested in a louder exhaust note, or performance increase.  Just was hoping to get one that matched the appearance of the bike better.  But assumed that no specialty company made one specifically for one as not too many
People are trying to hop up the Kymco Like.  Maybe I could find a slip on kind, but don’t want to mess with the tune of the ecu, but maybe an easier better solution would be to powder coat my current exhaust (oh wait maybe ceramic coating since the heat issue, or maybe just good ol vht or bbq paint) a better color as I was planning on doing the cvt cover and a few other bits this winter.

Finished my coffee, got up from my sidewalk table and geared up to ride home on my scooter yesterday morning.
Within 20 feet I thought something was wrong. .....in another 30 feet I figured out what was wrong.
I'm hearing all this racket. .....I forgot to put in my earplugs!
Even my little Piaggio with the new Euro-Quiet standards muffler seems loud if you're used to riding while using hearing protection.
I used earplugs at some part of my work day for decades - so I know that I can hear all that I need to hear while wearing them.

Studies I've read indicate that even full face helmets cause hearing damage when hearing protection is not worn.

On 2 stroke bikes I have been tempted to, but figured I could miss out on other sounds for safety, which maybe, maybe not.  But I have to wear them at work all day and can’t wait to take them out at the end of the day.  So like to not wear them as much as possible, since they are
In my ears 40+ hours a week

NIce old school vespa-ish look

Yes, because I guess the Lambrettas did look sorta like Vespas too. basically an older Lambretta design with a modern twist (also this company is/was being sued by Scomadi, but how a copy company sues another copy company is beyond my pay grade)

Was at the dealer today and they kindly looked up some torque specs and figured I would share.  Unfortunately all I have is a screen shot but better then nothing and hope this will help someone out down the road
