Anyone ride a spade with a passenger?  Between me and my wife we weigh 330.  Won’t ride far or fast, just wondering if we both would fit.  Me 5’11” she 5’4”

Thanks

Anyone replaced their clock battery?  Can’t seem to find any instructions here on anywhere else online.

I have a 2007 people 250.  .

Thanks!

Update, i just went now after trying to start the scoot all morning and it fired right up. 

i think i am not starting it correctly.  i dont give it any gas and it doesn't start. then i try to give it a little gas and it still doesn't start.  then i let it sit and then it starts right up. 

its seems that i flood it then let it sit for an hour, then it starts. 

so confused ...

any thoughts?

thanks!

hi all, i just picked up a used 2007 people 250.  bike rides great, has 8000 km on the odo.  prior owner never had it serviced.  so today, i changed the oil using 10w-40 synthetic.  changed the gear oil.  topped off the coolant.  and now i want to change the spark plug and check/set the valves.  problem is i am having trouble getting the plastics off.  i easily removed the seat and seat box.  but from there, i am a little lost. one would think the front plastic would come off easily to provide access to the valves and spark plug.  but no ... i removed most screws that i could see that connect to that front piece of plastic, but its still pretty tight.  everything seems to have snap connectors to the plastic next to it.  do you have to take all the plastic off the whole back of the scoot?  like remove the rack on the back and all that painted plastic?  the rear lights are connected and it seems like that would be such a task.

any suggestions?

thanks!

i really like the scooter, i had a 4t agility before this and its night and day difference.  it really moves if you get the RPM's up from the get go.

sometimes its a little sluggish if i start slowly then give it gas, when the rpms are on the low side.  thinking lighter rollers would help.

anyway, thanks for the info, i will search the forums for mods.  likely wont do much as i dont like to tinker too much, its pretty fast as is.  on the flats it will go 50.

extremely comfortable scooter.  i have a super 8 150 and the seat/ride on the super 9 is much better.  the 150 is faster though ...

I did find a spot where it says KEB7.  Recall says KEB7-1, not sure what the 1 is ... I will call kymco Monday.

Just bought this scooter and it's in near-new condition.  has 800km on the odo, not a scratch on it.

questions:

i paid $1000 for it, brand new battery, came with manual, both keys, bought from the original owner (confirmed by looking at the title).  was this a good deal?  i see these going for more on craigslist, but who knows what they really sell for.  There is an upgraded "technigas" exhaust, he said this was the only thing he did to the scooter (he gave me the stock exhaust as well).

he said that the dealership removed the variator restriction when he bought it.  so as far as i know, modifications are the smooth variator, and the exhaust. scooter runs great.  but when i had it sitting on the center stand, i was gassing it and saw that the rpm went to 10K, is this normal?  if i left it wide open, i think it would have gone beyond that.  i am concerned if the cdi is unrestricted, that i might damage the engine if i run it wide open. any thoughts?  is there a way to tell if the cdi was altered?  i heard that you can derestrict the cdi by cutting/unplugging a wire, that true?  also the cdi looked to be dark green, not black.

next and final questions, any service i should do?  2005 liquid super 9 with 800km on it. 

if anyone is interested, i will post pics.  pretty much a stock, red, super 9 with the techigas exhaust.

Thanks!!

ps. my daily driver is a super 8 150 - stock.  its definitely faster than the super 9 as one would expect.  i bought the 9 for my gf and son who dont have motorcycle licenses.
