Technical | How To / Seat Locking Issue - doesn't get locked unless I hit it like crazy
« on: February 28, 2016, 07:16:03 AM »
Hi,
I have this problem for quite some time- i have a downtown 300 and the locking mechanism just doesn't work unless I use immense force.
I had the same problem when I had a Grand Dink 250 |(which has only one locking dock) and then I remember I bought a bigger loop that maid it available for the hinge to lock without fighting it.
I discontented the inner seat bulb because sometimes I cant lock it and it drained my battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Downtown 300 / Seat Locking Issue - doesn't get locked unless I hit it like crazy
« on: February 28, 2016, 07:06:30 AM »
Hi,
Wondered if anyone else encountered this issue - most of the times I have a really hard time getting the seat to lock - i only have one helmet but it seems the mechanism is problematic.
I had the same issue when I had a garnd dink - i remember then I installed a bigger loop on the seat inorder to get the seat locked easier but for some reason can't find suck "longer" seat hooks.
if anyone had a n idea or has this problem would be nice to know how you deal with it

I don't feel it working often, luckily, only when I really brake hard the handle delivers these small bumps from the ABS not letting the wheel lock.

So you feel the ABS kick in that often ?

Hey,
I guess most of you guys live in the US but the DT 300 has been started to be marketed with ABS since 2013 see the link to their site, you'll notice the ABS written on the front wheel fairing
http://www.kymco.com/product/category/Scooter/Downtown_300i_ABS/360.asp
The main reason I switched to DT was the ABS- I don't understand how I used to ride before (well I remember numerous slips on emergency brakes or a rainy day).
This year they stopped marketing the DT 300 here and they're advertising the new DT 350 which is half a lie 'cause the actual engine size is 320cc. It does look better though:http://www.kymco.com/product/category/Scooter/Downtown_350i_New/360.asp

Does anyone experience problems with closing the seat in general?
I have to hit it real hard and try to adjust the angel- sometimes when I'm in a rush and it won't close I leave it open....
I think it's a kymco problem because I. Used to have the grand dink and it was the same- a real bummer

hello all, I just had to tell you guys about these LED headlight bulbs, I put them into the main beams and they are brilliant!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Set-8000LM-80W-H7-COB-LED-Car-Headlight-Fog-Lamp-Conversion-Bulb-Beam-Kits-/401024714278?hash=item5d5eef8626:g:vGoAAOSwu-BWQUU7

I had the standard halogens in but they didn't match the HID's on the dipped beam, but now they do!! well impressed!!

Hi de dee- I gotta ask you- did you only buy the led bulbs and changed them? Do they fit and work with no other modifications?
Thanks

Downtown 300 / Xenon lights - what do you need to modify
« on: February 24, 2016, 03:37:17 AM »
Hi,
I've been wanting to set up xenon lights on my DT for a long time but no seller on EBay could tell me if and what kit do I need..
I presume you can't just take h7 bulbs and switch them...
If anyone could help it would be great.

I did browse former topics and saw people with DT saying they just bought the bulbs- so now I'm even more confused...

One last question for today- does the spark plug really matter? I saw some Bosch ones and many other so called "high performence" plugs- but I don't think it will really have a significant effect

Cheers
