Should regularly derusting/cleaning the muffler be a standard part of maintenance for every scooter?  I've never heard that talked about before.  The muffler on my 2008 Piaggio does look a little rusty...

Don't feel bad mate, this deal came at a really bad time for me because I had just bought my first scooter two months previously, and I still love that one, and don't have any desire to keep two.  So, now I've gotta store the old one in my garage for 5 months till spring comes and people are buying again, it's a pain.  In a recession, cash is king because you find insane deals like this.  That dealer wasn't the only small business I've heard of around here going under...

nice bike man :)
that case is humongous!  2 helmets?? jeez.  I was actually tempted to splurge on this cool case they had at the dealership, I don't remember the brand but it wasn't Givi.  The cool part about it was that it had a remote unlocker that you beeped like a car alarm or something, it was rad.  I ended up going for cheap and simple though, especially since I didn't want to pay for installation or worry about it having problems.

Agility 50 / Re: Breaking In A New Scooter and Maintenance???
« on: February 03, 2010, 02:24:35 AM »
Don't drive it too fast--keep it under 75% of it's max speed.  Don't use WOT (wide open throttle), and don't keep a constant speed for long stretches of road.  Remember that it has special break-in oils in it, which should be changed after a couple hundred miles.  The maintenance schedule should be in your manual.  If you want to do everything perfect and don't know too much, have the dealer do all maintenance.

Hey all,
I just purchased my first Kymco, a People S 250.  I'm trading up from a Piaggio Fly 150 because i wanted something that could go highway speeds, and there happened to be a dealer liquidation sale of Kymcos nearby.  You'll be amazed at the price I got: for a new People S 250, with a Givi topcase, from an established dealer, $2,720 including taxes, no joke.

A question: the dealer recommended I prepare it for storage by idling it in the driveway till it ran out of gas.  In all the research I did about winterizing, that's the only time I've heard that recommended.  Is it a good idea, or better to fill it up with gas and put stabil in?  thanks!
