Just email them and they will give you the order link. Got mine in 3 days and it works great. You can get the part number from Puig.usa  I ordered 6848W which is 20" tall. Works great as it's pretty cold where I ride in January. It comes assembled but you need to rotate the mounts and use the supplied nuts to reinstall the mirrors. It vibrates a bit at idle but at speed it smoothed out.

Mike-thats a pretty good price! Let us know when it comes in and how easy installation was, and what you think of it after riding.

I noticed on the Puig site that there seem to be 2 different TS 6848W models--if you see there are 2 .pdf files for the instructions. the picture shows 2 distinctly different windshields.

PUIG21413.pdf

and
PUIG18479.pdf

Just installed it in 20 minutes. It is tall as you look thru it. No helmet buffeting. It can be removed in 5 minutes when it warms up, it was 37 degrees today so I'm loving it. Motovation got. It to me in 3 days. It comes assembled but you need to reposition the mounts and remove the spacers to mounts it and use the supplied nuts to mount the mirrors.the PDFs file shows you the mounts need to be 90 degrees from the mirrors stock orientation. The mirrors mount further towards you and are attached to the back holes of the mounting brackets. Highly recommended and most windshield I've installed on bikes cost more and caused a lot of buffeting the 6848w is clear and fits perfectly. This is the one I ordered but motovatiionusa sent me the link after I contacted them about a Puig windshield for the gt300


so which one are we getting from motovation....?

I'm ordering a Puig  6848w from Motovation for $114. It includes the specific windshield hardware for the 300 Gti. Look at the Puig.usa website and the PDF instruction link. It was 36 degrees today and 10 mph wind and I was freezing in 10 minutes without the windshield. Hope it arrives real soon!

I'm a proud new owner of a People 300.  I think the scoot is great. Engine very good for it's size, larger wheels, loud horn, great lights, sooo much fun. The bad, for me, awful seat.  Hard and feels like it pushes me forward.  I've got to think some of you have had the same problem.  How did you resolve it?  I owned an Xciting 500 several years ago and did not have the same problem.
Thank you all, greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Take the seat off and take it to car upholstery shop. They can remove the cover and modify the seat foam.

Anybody buy one new from a dealer? Take it to them and complain, especially if it's still in warranty.

Has anyone used the underseat outlet with a mini charger and cigarette lighter male adapter? The charger is only .5 amps.

Maybe your filter prices are high, but compared to Honda Forza and especially Suzuki Burgman....Kymco prices for other parts are a bargain!
When it comes new belt time....don't be tempted to economize, get the genuine Kymco item!
Keep your Kymco filter....if she blows up with cheap parts, put it back on before towing to dealer. Trump said that....

Great advice! Definitely will get a genuine belt. Did find some reasonable oil filters Hiflofiltro HF566 that are TUV approved and seem to be well made. Went to the filter manufacturers website and the specs and materials look first rate

Sellers always ask more than what they'll take. Check out the bike in person and offer $3100. All he can say is no. If it's perfect I would go $3300. Negotiating in person makes the seller know you are a real buyer and not a looker.

I'm I crazy or is a Kymco genuine oil filter $25 for the people 300. I usually buy genuine oil filters for warranty reasons but my Cbr250r Honda filter was $6 and a Triumph spin on filter is $10. Guess it's Hiflofiltro for me. And the Orin's behind the oil drain plug is $6. Ripp off city.

People GT 300i / Re: What type of safety gear do you wear in winter and summer?
« on: November 18, 2015, 07:26:40 PM »
HI Viz mesh summer jacket with armor and Hi viz all seasons corduroy jacket with armor. Always gloves and most off the time jeans with Kevlar lining. Neither jacket was very expensive. The jeans were $79. The all seasons jacket has venting but the mesh is much cooler in 90 degree weather in town. The jeans are toasty in the summer but great in cool weather. Got it online from competition accessories free shipping over $49

Is there a lemon law or consumer protection agency in your state? I would contact them and have Kymco give you a new scooter.

« on: November 18, 2015, 06:57:14 PM »
Manual says 25 front 29 rear for solo riding. Change rear to 32 for a passenger. Always check it before you ride. Remember tire pressure changes with out side temperature roughly 1 pound per 10 degree change in outdoor temp. It goes up with heat and down in cold weather.
