Hello all,

Looking for a good supplier for a windshield, Buddy seat and mounting hardware and some more storage (perhaps saddle bags) for a people 50 2T.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Denny Mc'dailydriver

Technical | How To / People 50 Hard starting
« on: July 19, 2017, 06:21:53 PM »
Hello all,

I have a KYMCO People 50 2 stroke that is difficult to start after it sits for a day.
When I hit the starter button It fires then dies.
I give 3 pumps on the throttle and the same thing happens. It takes many times for it to sit and run.
I choke off the air inlet and sometimes it helps other times it doesn't.
It gas a new plug.
It runs great when running and starts with no problem after it has been running. Even later that day.

Thanks,
Denny

I don't have a tach as of yet. Was pondering getting one as this scoot is pretty quick and winds up quickly. If RPM is not an issue I will not worry about it.
Thanks for the info!

People 50 / 2t redline

Hello all,

Any info on the rpm redline for a 2008 people 50 2 stroke?
Assuming stock engine internals.

Thanks,
Denny

Hi Denny,
There's a lot of fun stuff going on here and we like challenges.  :-)

I'm curious about those high performance valves, too.

I never had a Kymco 50...
It must have a modified engine with reed valves for crankcase induction and many other performance parts to get that sort of speed.
Sounds like you got a good one !

Always better to avoid those crashes...

From My understanding the only mods are Carb, Exhaust and drive train. Seems to have a High "stall" on the clutch. I'm guessing a spring change.
It runs at a high RPM until 30mph when it almost feels like it "shifts". The CVT does not appear to operate as "constantly variable".

My only issue is it seems to lack initial throttle response. Although I'm not sure what is normal on a 2 stroke?

I've not healed enough to get on the floor and have a look see on the mods.
The doc said minimum of 3 month till I can put weight on my right hip. But the other 8 fractures are healing nicely. The plates and screws helped!  ;)
Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can tear into it and have a look see.

One other thing regarding the valves; I'm guessing just some after market reeves were installed for what ever that's worth.

High Performance Valves? In a 2 Stroke? Ummmm...OK

I was un familiar with that as well?
I imagine its possible.  IDK
I have been wrenching a long time but have very little internal experience on a 2 stroke.

Hello all,
Just wanted to say and introduce myself.
Have been riding 2 wheelers since I was 14 (I'm now 56).
Everything from big twins, dirt bikes, Smaller bikes and scooters.
My last scooter was a Chinese 50 and was looking to upgrade.
Well, I was in a wreck with it and it forced the upgrade sooner than later.

Decent 50s are hard to find around here but I happened on a clean 08 People 50 2-stroke.
It Has been modified with (according to the previous owner) After market exaust, High performance valves (I have no idea what type) and has been re-jetted.
The work was done to the bike prior to the previous owner.

It gets to 30mph very quickly and continues to pull past 50mph. It may go faster but I was speeding at this point and really didn't want to over rev it.
I really like the way it handles with the 16" wheels. It's a slight bit motorcycle like.

Everyone on the forum seems really cool and respectful, and there is a wealth of knowledge here I'm sure will come in handy!

Anyway, Thanks for having me.
Denny
