General Discussion / Re: Question about fuel injection scoots
« on: August 01, 2018, 03:14:49 AM »I've come to realize that fuel injection actually offers quite a wealth of information for diagnosis.
Not really that costly to fix either, if you can diagnose and replace the part yourself.
For my van, all I needed was a $10 OBDII bluetooth device and $5 of software. I think I could have gotten nicer software for $30 if I weren't so cheap.
It sounds like motorcycles come up a bit short with regards to this though -- I think the proprietary Kymco tool is some hundreds of dollars for something that probably isn't as good.
Yeah it’s a good thing they made obdII a standard thing for autos otherwise every manufacturer would have its own proprietary thing. If only they’ll make a standard for motorcycle/scoot/ATVS....

General Discussion / Re: Matte finishes....?!
« on: July 31, 2018, 11:06:50 PM »Like your scoot!
Was searching Piaggio USA for bigger pix of your scoot- forgot that we only get the tricycle, the BV350, the Fly, the Liberty and Typhoon here.
The BV is well over twice the price of my Liberty150 - in the Honda Forza range - so out of my league.
With Honda being pretty much out of scooters in the USA - save for the little PCX - I wish Piaggio would have offered the Medley for consideration. The Honda SH150 and the Kymco People One 150 would have been in my radar - but not offered here. With so few scooter sales here - we're lucky we have any to choose from.
Looking for a matching red top case for the Liberty - but not going to pay that Calif. Vespa dealer $420 for one! Crazy.
Ride safe, Stig
Thought I have heard something about a new Forza being out?

Got to take whatever is in the way of the head. Not super familiar with the bet and win, but most scoots usually it’s just that panel in front by where your feet sit and maybe the underseat bucket.

LIKE 200i / Got pics figured out. So here’s the beaut
« on: July 31, 2018, 12:25:09 AM »
Just an illusion. Dimensions are pretty darn close. New one weighs 20 more lbs, 1†longer in length, height and seat height, but is almost 2†narrower and wheel base is pretty much the same. (According to Kymco). Will say it does look bigger in person. Was worried it was gonna be like the 200i, I wanted one a couple years ago but just didn’t fit, but I fit pretty good on the new one,
Contrary to the same motorcycle magazine that voted it scooter of the year (said if your over 5’11†you won’t fit, I am 6’ and find it comfortable)

This is what my adjustment looks like. Still working on images but maybe this link will work. Almost
Looks like I loosen the screw and assume I pull forward to raise and push back to lower then tighten screw. I will find out tonight

« on: July 30, 2018, 09:34:21 PM »Under the headlight cowling should be a screw head - with screw body aligned fore and aft. Since screw is below the light, screwing IN pulls the light beam down. Screwing out raises it. No adjustment for left/right aiming.
Bigger scoots often have a different arrangement.(reaching from under then up into the cowling with a tool)....but all have a way to change the aim of beam I think.

Yeah was wondering if I just needed to aim it. Gonna have to figure that one out. Nothing in the owners manual about how to aim headlight

LIKE 200i / Re: Good oil for a LIKE
« on: July 29, 2018, 09:30:46 PM »Can't find this stuff at my dealer....so I order 4 Qts at a time.
The scoot uses less than a Qt....and no filter to replace, so - for @ $14 I'm good for months of riding*.
Not doing a promo for this oil - but it is hard to find - is scooter specific (for what it's worth) and might even be made in America!

and they send you a nice sticker
*although - as often as I change my LIKE's oil...I could probably use Bob's Bait Tackle and Fish Oil in there.
Oh nice. I use Eni I ride synthetic scooter oil just cause that’s what the dealer carries around me that’s full synthetic and and scooter specific. Think it’s priced around the same. Although depending who’s running the register it seems. Sometimes it’s $14 a quart, sometimes I get it for $10

« on: July 29, 2018, 09:28:26 PM »Headlight is dicey?!!
Figured that LED light would be like a bleedin' train!
Stig
The headlight is a bleeding train with the brights on. With just the regular the beam is concentrated on an area like 50-75 feet ahead, but right in front it’s just kind of not. Nothing crazy bad but almost have to ride with high beams on when it gets dark to see both ahead and right in front.

« on: July 29, 2018, 07:17:20 PM »I tried cheap LEDs a few yrs ago - but they fell apart and started blinking off and on -NOT a good thing for front running lights. People think you're turning!
So, today ordered 3 LEDs > better quality amber front wedge lights for the running lights - and a dual purpose red rear bulb for the brake light.
The LIKE already has a massive tail light ( a + selling point to me) and very good front running lights - but figured it was time to try the improved LEDs.
Will post when I DIY.

Nice! Let me know what you used. Bought an led/euro turn signal kit from Scooterwest for my girlfriends Vespa sprint and its over paid garbage. Her tail light is so dim it’s dangerous. I love my led lights on my Like 150i so bright. Except the headlight is a little dicey at night, I will load up a review of that soon.
