what is the little gauge with the wire that you have mounted above the speedo?

"Breaking the Law". I'd have to play "I Can't Drive 55" because, well, it just barely goes that fast ;)

Bought a 2015 200i Like for my wife, after she gave up on a Biella 50 (nice looking but lots of fuel supply related problems). Anyway, sold the Biella after I put a real carburetor in it and replaced fuel and air hoses for $700 (new was $980 at  the door 2 years ago)
Can you believe that the original Chinese carburetor was press closed and could not be serviced or cleaned??? but I guess I should not complain cause I bought a Japanese model for $25 that worked great...
Here some pics for now - got it Lacey, WA for $3100 including the chrome trim. If anyone can refer to me where I can see a clear pic fo the upgraded mirrors ( not the picture on the Kymco website) I would appreciate that - thinking of upgrading that as well.
One other thing I will do during the off season is replacing the battery with an EVO3 model, no recommendation needed for that.
 I could use some advise on the type of bulbs I need, I want to replace ALL of them with LED....
thanks in advance for that.

did you get it at Paulson? That's where I got mine (lacey).

Really like your seat with that color....kinda like some that Vespa does in leather. Classy looking. So they make custom covers for exact fit on some kymcos?
Stretch fit....tight...won't shift under your bum?
Looks good. ...well done cat!

Yes, custom seat covers made when ordered. Their customer svc is stellar as well.
No. No shifting under me. :)

The seat cover and stripes arrived today so I set the cover in the sun to warm it up while I gave the scooter a bath. Getting the cover on was pretty easy and I love the color against the blue/black of the scooter. I also applied the stripes on the top box.  A few tiny bubbles even after I applied heat. Not sure if I will redo or if they"ll calm down on their own in the sun.

Boyfriend reaction: Well, they'll see you!

Hahaha.  I hope so.

perfect, thanks for the thorough step-by photos. I saw a video on you tube also (wasn't a kymco).

i thought about doing it myself, but I'm too critical of my own projects. I'm going to give the cover from cheeky a try, it was reasonably priced and gets decent reviews. if i don't like it or it slips any, I'll take it to a local shop to have something custom done. if i'm going to go custom, i'll probably go with Seahawks green and blue colors. i think that would go nice w/my scooter color (blue/black) and then add some green pinstripes or something.

thanks :)

I did. Doesn't help to read a bazillion posts of ppl bitching about the seat comfort. And I did like the seats from the philippines, but they don't sell them.

Short of getting a custom cover made, which I found out is buku bucks, I ordered a replacement cover from Cheeky.

I got a different color that what came on it originally so I'll post pictures once i receive it and put it on.

My cat figured out how to get under the cover I keep on my kymco and she did quite a job on the seat cover, putting holes in it and scratching part of the vinyl off. Lovely. Frickin' cat (not the actual word I'm using in my head).

It doesn't even have the permanent plates on it yet and now I have to replace the seat cover.

I'm wondering if anyone has changed the seat upholstery? I was thinking of taking it to a pro and having leather put on it, but a better quality vinyl would be okay as well.

I also have to figure out how to keep the GD cat off of it.

Race Talk / Re: Inquiry: Technique of Dragging Knee on a Scooter
« on: May 22, 2016, 12:44:56 PM »
I just saw this thread and laughed my rear end off. I never thought of a scooter as a racing machine, but then went over to YouTube and watched a couple of videos. I can't get the images out of my head now and when I'm riding, I think of the whole knee dragging thing....

Old topic, but still, thanks for the chuckle.

We all make purchases, some logical, some emotional, you work for your money, spend it on what you want for whatever the reasons.

Sometimes what you buy puts a big smile on your face and you are proud to have it, could be the ugliest dog in the neighborhood but it puts the gin on your face.

Yah,I am totally an emotional buyer, just ask my guy! Well, I figure next season I'll get a storage unit (we are out of room in our garage) and sneak in a new Harley Street 500 along with another road bike (Cannondale, per my current stable of bikes)... LOL.   It's good to have a plan, ;)

Hey Jersey! Welcome. :)

I have family in Piscataway (exit 10, LOL). Say hi when you pass by.

I love your scoot, nice color. Do the chrome bars get in your way at all? I'm thinking of adding the chrome kit but worry that my short legs will get hung up on the chrome bars when I plant my feet or mount/dismount.... thoughts?

Not to be a buzz kill but you can buy an used economy car for $8k. $4k is a lot of money for a cute paint job and leather handles...

I'm used to having a "like" button. But in lieu of that,
