General Discussion / Re: ak550 "clunk"

Brand new AK550 here and no clunk under your described conditions. I do however have a fairly loud knock/clunk every time I hit a manhole or a big crack in the road. Dealer says they don’t detect anything unusual. You’d have to be deaf not to hear it…I apologize for the hijack.

General Discussion / KYMCO AK550 TPMS & RIDE-ON tire sealant.
« on: October 11, 2021, 03:20:21 PM »
Having had good luck with Ride-On sealant in previous motorcycle applications I’m planning on installing it in my new Kymco AK550’s tires. Ride-On is NOT recommended with UNSEALED TPMS systems but to my knowledge all TPMS systems are sealed. But before I procede I’d like to be sure. Does anyone know if the Kymco TPMS is sealed? Thank you for your time and help.

So I bought a AK550 from Fun Bike Center in San Diego. They made the purchase easy. The dealer took good care of me without a ton of B.S. I have owned Mana’s, Vespa, Burgers, Tmax, MP3’s and BMW scooters. I find this AK550 to be as nice or nicer then any of the ones mentioned. The bike has the stiffness of the chassis like the Tmax. It has storage as good as my 650 sport. The motor has more character then any of the other maxi’s I have owned. Acceleration is fantastic for a 550 CVT bike.  The bike is comfortable. The fairing is just right for me. I do not like the giant bulbous fairings on most scooters. I am protected from the cold but get enough wind to not overheat. The heated grips are fantastic. The fit and finish is good. The exhaust sound is nice. It sounds like a proper motorcycle. I think an aftermarket exhaust would probably just enhance the exhaust sound.  The bike handles very good. I own a Street triple, and a Thruxton as well. I could keep up with either bike in the twisties. I have not topped it out but I expect it will go plenty fast.
The brakes are amazing for a scooter. It is a great machine. It also has lots of tech but I need to own it longer before I comment. I have the Space grey color. I had to move the wind screen up one notch to reduce wind noise. It was done with tools and it is easy enough. I am 5’9”. Anyway the AK550 is available and in the USA.

Hey Zeus, FBC just got their first two at the end of August 2021, and I bought one. When did you buy yours? Thanks

Can someone please school me on how to get navigation? I downloaded the app on my iPhone, I paired successfully with the scooter, got all the right screens but when I tap navigation on the app and tap get new route all I see is a white blank screen. I must have missed something. Suggestions? Thank you.
