People 250 / Re: How do I replace the drive belt on a People S 250?

Maybe these would help?  http://www.wotmeworry.org.uk/manuals/Kymco/Kymco%20P250%20Manual/Service%20Guides/

How many miles does it have when the belt broke?

People 250 / Re: Xenon HID on S 250

I did not need to rectify my power source. People S 250 uses DC for headlights.  In your case, you will need to use diodes or bridge rectifier to turn AC into DC. Since the relay coil does not draw much current, pretty much any rectifiers will do. The HID will use the DC current from the battery so the wire from the relay switch to the battery should not be too thin.

Do you have a multimeter? If you have not used a multimeter before, I suggest you get someone who are familiar with basic electronics to help you. I may be able to draw you a wiring diagram if you want.

You can rectify the AC to your headlight to DC and use it to turn on/off the relay. Connect another wire from the relay to your battery to supply the DC power to the HID.

People 250 / Xenon HID on S 250

Not too impressed with the stock 35W lamps in my People S250, I replaced one of them with a 35W HID dual beam Xenon bulb and it works quite well. The H4 HID bulb matches the original bulb perfectly in terms of the light patterns. I did have to replace the Kymco headlight relays with mechanical ones so they can handle the initial current surge needed by the HID ballast. The whole conversion cost about $40 and is well worth every penny of it.

Here is my solution to the relay problem: use old fashion mechanical relays. I replaced the right side bulb with 35W HID H4 dual beam lamp and it worked fine - for a couple times untill the Kymco solid state relay went out. The sympton is exactly like what is described in the thread: The lights turn itself off after a few seconds. Instead of buying another $40 relay from Kymco and most likely burn it up again, I just put two $5.99 relays together and my problem is solved. The relays I got from AutoZone is rated for 40A so I am quite sure they will pretty much last forever.
