O well.  The place I got from the Evil one is perfect.  Some stuff they sell below list, like the exhaust gasket.  Air filter was list.  And they have the whole parts book on line, so I am a happy camper.

Does Kymco have an online catalog?  do you have the url?

Hey big blue,
I just wanted to thank you again for the link!  You are the man.  I ordered an air filter and an exhaust gasket.  They came yesterday and were the right thing.  They were faster than my local dealer was the last time I needed an air filter, and were cheaper.  So thanks!!  I would recommend those guys to anyone who needs part.  They seem good.

I think reving it higher than that might blow it up, so it is probably a good thing.  They put those things on for a reason.  That is fast enough to ride in the slow lane on the freeway, and 9100 is pretty respectable for a single.

Ride safe,

I think Tiny was talking Canadian dollars.  I looked at my paperwork, and the base price I paid was $3199.  Then with all the additional fees it came out around $4000 out the door.

I looked at a Kymco 200.  Don't remember which one, but the owner of the shop told me the engine was really only 168cc, and the Movie 150 was faster.

I dont mind carburetors.  It is easy to change jetting.  Changing fuel/air mixture with fuel injection is a whole different game.  I have never done it, but I guess you could change the mixture with a laptop and a programmable chip.  I traded in a Honda vtr1000 for my Kymco, and it had 48mm carbs on it, which at the time were the largest ever put on a motorcycle.  I was happy for them when I changed the pipes and had to rejet to get the perfect fuel/air mixture.  Those carbs worked just fine.  That bike was a blast on the racetrack.  I did a bunch of track days at Laguna Seca, and only got passed on the straight away after turn 11.  My top speed was only 155, and the other liter bikes would do 175.  My wife said no more track days after I crashed.  Now I ride a scooter and love it.

Thanks for the try Tiny.  Those filters all appear to be for 2009-2011 Movie 150.  There are a lot of places that carry parts for those years.  Mine is a 2013.  When I bought the bike I was told it has a high performance four valve head motor.  It is a pretty quick scooter.  That's why I bought it.  Apparently not many other people wanted to put out the extra money for extra performance, so there are not many of them around, and not a lot of places bother to carry parts.

I am in San Francisco.  If nobody here knows someplace to get parts online, preferably in the US, probably the smartest thing for me to do is just go to the dealer I bought the bike from and ask the parts guy where I can get parts.  He would probably know.  I was just there yesterday.  I picked up a nail in my rear tire and brought the wheel in to have the tire replaced.  Nobody around here will do a plug/patch any more.  They all say it is for liability issues, so they will only replace the tire.  Dang.  That tire had less than 600 miles on it.  I hadn't even worn off all the little nibs yet.  Such a drag.
