i hope i am not necroposting, i really  like the idea of putting a real lock instead of a plastic  thingy.

So the "dremel" tool is to cut the metal border on the lock?


On topic I used my kymco to go to the gym and todo shopping, i hope to use it for a long trip one of these days( Cheshire-Snowdonia)

Even the nub on the People key works on my DT!
i shall try that one.

Now i'll be careful with my last key, any idea where i could find just the key(uk )? does it have a specific model/serial number?.
For now i found some key blanks on ebay(us).

Thanks ro everyine for the helpful info.

@Kneeslider: i was able to find the plastic thingy that goes on top of the key( i had to order it from an ebay seller from taiwan), if that works for opening the shutter its fine.

Now i will be looking for a key to fit in the keyholder.

I f i just want the key and not the plastic bit, what should i do: bring the original key toi a locksmit so that he can make a copy? also does the key have specific code or a its a generic type of key?




the ebay ad was this one:

As soon as the yt12a-bs (yes I ordered one to be sure} arrives I will try it with the scooter.

Since my scooter battery  "died" at friends place, I'll have to put it without charging, I need to bring the scooter home.

I will try to charge the battery later on.

Thank for the helpful advice

I asked about the acid because the battery I ordered from amazon arrived with electrolytes to add{sulfuric acid} then seal it and its ready. Do I need to charge it before, or can I use it straight away?

Thanks for the reply, so the correct battery is yt12a-bs?.
I have also been given by a friend a YTX12-BS battery, is this one OK for size, voltage etc  for the kymco downtown 300?

Also to every battery I buy, must I add acid?

Downtown 300 / Kymco battery problem
« on: January 22, 2018, 05:33:18 PM »
I am grumpier, proud owner of  one kymco 300 downtown.
A few  days ago my battery went totally flat, it's partially my fault due to not using it and lot, and I want to buy a new one which one should I buy? : I found two types maintenance free and with acid. I tend to lean toward the maintenance free but I am not sure about the type of battery to buy.
Any help is appreciated, I live in the UK but I am not from there so I don't know where to buy a battery
