As to the handlebar cover... the 'tool' that I found to be helpful to ease the clips open on my LIKE200I was a round pizza cutter. Lift panel with cutter and squeeze other panel and separate. Thin cake knife also works.....spreads out the prying force to prevent panel from chipping.

I had the need to replace my GT300's headlight bulb. The pizza cutter was miraculous and works like a charm to separate the mated plastic panels, in this case rear/front handle bar covers. Get the heavy duty Faberware jumbo-pizza cutter and not the flimsy Walmart brand cutter. Careful with the tabs though. I broke one off on the bottom the rear handle bar cover. No biggie. Still have the screws to keep it in place.

I've got a GT300i with Pirellis front and rear. Does anyone know the typical tire deflation rate through osmosis when the tire does not have a hole or defect? I ride my bike several times per week at a minimum. I check the tire pressure monthly or more often and have noticed that it drops several PSI. I air both front and rear to 34 PSI. Thanks guys.

Is there a bleeder valve/screw?

Yes, there's a bleeder screw. Can that step in the process, the opening of the bleeder screw, be omitted? Have to take the seat off for that.

With the 300, the bar that goes across the center prevents me from putting in the nozzle and waiting for it to click off. I have to go real slow with the fuel nozzle and check and check and check and check to make sure it's close to, but not over, that dreaded bar.

I still have the bar in the gas tank, but what I've found is that I can push the gas pump nozzle to the right of the bar and at an angle and keep an eye on the fuel level on the left side of the bar. I watch the tank fill until the gas touches the bottom of the bar. It's not so bad once you get used to the routine.

I did a couple of videos on mounting a Garmin on my GT300i.

What's the best way to clean oil deposits, grit and dirt that has built up on the exterior of the engine? When I took the seat bucket off my 2012 GT300i, I could see oily grit built up in places. Do I use low-pressure spray at a car wash? Brake cleaner/degreaser in a spray can? What's the best way to do this without damaging any systems? Thanks.

I've got a starter issue on my People GT300i. Unfortunately it's intermittent happening about 10% of attempted starts, so hard to isolate and pinpoint the issue. The Kymco dealer recommended a new starter relay, so rather than being stranded somewhere and calling AAA for a tow, I'm going to buy the $40 new part. I want to install it myself to save $30 and because I like working on the bike.

Having done extensive work on a Chinese bike, I thought I'd be up to the job. But the Kymco service manuals suck. I have both the printed one from Cyclepedia and a PDF from kymcousa.com. They're about the same. Lacking, vague and sometimes useless.

The starter relay is located on the right side of the bike just below the front of the seat. To access it I have to remove the body panels. I got these items off: trunk, rear carrier rack, seat bucket, seat and rear access panel above the brake light assembly. The videos are posted on youtube: , etc.

Then when I got to the body panels, I got stuck. I couldn't get the rear splash guard off, and that's where I stopped filming.

Is there anyone who has done this and who can walk me through step-by-step on how to remove the body panels so I can access the starter relay? Thanks in advance for your help. I searched this forum and also youtube for answers, but found nothing specific to the GT300i.
