General Discussion / Re: Motorcycle riding gear just doesn't cut it anymore
« on: April 08, 2015, 06:38:08 PM »
Corazzo makes some pretty decent stuff if you've got the dough for it. I bought a Sedici Hi-Viz mesh jacket, and even with the liner removed, I can't stand having the jacket on when it's over 80 degrees outside. 99% of the folks I see riding scooters around here don't wear ANY protective gear, but since I commute everyday, I want some form of protection. I'm going to start looking for a hot weather jacket, or else just risk not wearing one at all. :o

Yup, just had to fill out a form that the dealer sent in to Kymco, think I had to give them a copy of my veteran ID card from the VA and a copy of my DD Form 214, 200 bucks off!

I use 10w-40 Valvoline 4 stroke motorcycle oil, and I use 80w-90 Lucas Gear Oil in the gearbox. Not a big fan of using synthetics on a scoot, just a personal preference though!

Hi Rasta,

I'm just right down the road from you in Austin, TX. There's another Kymco dealer here as well, TJ's cycle sales and service, it's off Hwy 290 in east central Austin, not sure how far that would be for you. I have a Like 200i as well, glad to see another here in the area!

LIKE 200i / Re: New Like 200i owner in So. Calif.
« on: January 28, 2015, 02:10:30 PM »
Welcome to the forum! I as well have a Like 200i. New 2014 model, only 100 miles so far, the ONLY gripe I have so far is the seat, the rides can be a little rough, so the only modification I will make is to replace the seat material with some more comfy stuff for my booty, even on these urban roads here in Austin, TX, potholes are all too common!

Have fun & enjoy!

When I was in the service we used to have the new guys take exhaust samples from trucks in trash bags, have them seal them up with a zip tie, label the trash bag with spray paint, and turn it into the Chief. You should've seen the look on his face when a new private handed him an "exhaust sample"

 :P ::) :P ::) :P

General Discussion / Re: insurance.

Just bought a 12 month policy for my Kymco Like 200i with full coverage & total loss coverage for $254.00 through Progressive. Got all the usual discounts with it (homeowners, msf course, etc). I think it's totally worth it especially with all the idiot drivers on the road. I want to ride with peace of mind knowing that if something happens, i'm covered.

That's just too hardcore for me :) I absolutely loathe the cold weather. That's why I live in Texas! Supposed to be 67 this Saturday in Austin, setting up for my first ride of the year! Very excited.

« on: January 14, 2015, 02:58:13 PM »
I was wondering the same on the valve caps, i'm sure it's different from state to state, but as long as your not using red or blue, I don't think there would be a problem with it. During dusk and dawn when the light is failing is the best time to have these on. Where did you purchase those reflective stripes custom for the wheel size?

Wonder if these would work:

Only 32 degrees here in Austin, TX. Can't wait for it to warm up just a bit so I can enjoy my new Kymco Like 200i! Proud new owner as of yesterday, got a pretty good deal after the armed forces discount they're having right now, $2,099 + TTL out the door! :)  Anyone here around Austin? Great little forum here!
