I should of clarified yesterday idle is louder then new (which you clarified as normal) and the rattle/buzzing occurs while moving...coming from exhaust area/under seat some where’s.  Does yours do that?  Kind of intermittent.

No rattling/buzzing while moving on mine that I can detect.... :-\

Thanks so much man.  You alleviated my worries.  My other one I forgot to mention was how long the fuel pump cycles on start up (forgot to mention yesterday).  My girlfriend said one day is your fuel injection ump supposed to sound like that?  And I
Showed her Vespa doing it but it only does it a third of the amount of time as our Likes, but obviously it’s normal for them.  And yours idles the same.  Will post mine when I get home later.

Thanks again!

Yeah no problem at all, so do you hear a rattle on my video?  I don't hear one, but maybe my definition of rattle is different than yours!  And yes the fuel pump runs forever...Engine will start with it still running, not quite sure if that is bad on the engine or not to start it during that time?

Here is a quick video of the sounds of startup and idle of our 150i:

Thanks!  Yeah doing a scooter rally this weekend (Land of 10k scooter rally) and wanted to make sure I at least was through the first part of break in.  Excited.  Question for you....so mine was nice and quite when I first started out but seems to have gotten louder.  I did check the exhaust header bolts and they were a little loose so kind of tightened them (have no idea what torque spec is) and was hoping that was it, but made it a hair quieter.  Has yours become louder?  (Maybe it’s Normal break in or maybe I just have an exhaust leak or rattle from being loose or maybe I am
Just being paranoid). It’s almost like a slight rattle sound....

Hmm, no rattle sound on our's that I have heard yet. I can record audio tomorrow as well of it at idle.

You know, THAT is pretty darn good work for a dealer to track down one of these rare & desirable racks!
Well done them!
That white Shad looked really good on the white 150i!
Stig

Sargent's really knows their stuff and we had an excellent experience there.  They seemed to indicate that getting Like 150i's for them was fairly easy, so for those out of state or somewhere else it might be worth it to give them a call.  They even delivered it right to our house for us, A+!

Nice!  Changing the oil on these things is sooooo easy.  Bike looks great!  You are riding it way more than we are, only at ~310 miles so far..

I know someone on here got the rack from the dealer and got a Givi case, while another ordered the rack from Amazon France or something.

Yeah my dealer sold me the rack on my bike.  Here is the advice I posted in the other thread:

The rack my dealer ordered and installed from Kymco.  I do not have a part # handy, it was not written on the sales invoice. You could try contacting my dealer:

www.sargentsmotorsports.com

To see if they could order you the rack themselves, or if they have the part # handy. The box on top of the rack is just a Shad SH-33 which is commonly available.

The other source to try would be Kymco Parts Monster (http://www.kymcopartsmonster.com/p/Kymco-Parts) .  They don't have Like 150i parts yet on their website, but I called them the other day and they are able to order/find parts with you on the phone with them.

Hope this helps. The other Like 150i owner who order the part from Amazon France mentioned they ordered part #: gv-sr6109 , not sure if that is correct or not, but Google seems to show the exact same rack I have, so I bet it is correct. I'd contact Kymco Parts Monster with that part # and see if they can order it for you.

Good luck!

The service intervals for this are similar to that of my 2009 Super 8 150.  Changing the oil every 1200 miles is no big deal since it's so easy to do with no oil filter to change.  If the valves are as easy to do as the Super 8 it's only about a one hour job and they rarely need adjusting.  I went to 5k Miles then 7.5K miles between checks on mine with no issues.  Over 31K on my Super 8.  I considering the Like 150i to replace it.  I really like it in white. 

Anyone checked the top speed of theirs yet?  How about MPG's?

Still in break-in here too, but have been to 50 mph and it seemed easy for the bike, like not even trying. I agree with Snoopzilla that it will get to 65 unless there is some sort of limiter we are not aware of.

Am brand new here too this is my first post and I am wondering I have been considering this Like150 as well ...but here in Houston am being told the back top compartment is not available yet and seems you got it on yours?  Did you add it or?  I am surprised since they told me several times they arent made yet?  I found a gently used Like200 that has that back compartment and thought that wont be an option for me on the 150 but walla you have one?!

Great scoot how does she ride?

She rides great!

I would not let this deter you from purchasing the bike. Might need to do a little leg work to find the rack, but the bike and $$ is definitely worth it!

LIKE 200i / Re: Like 150i - First Oil Change Report
« on: July 15, 2018, 09:36:57 PM »
I am sure there is probably no right answer, but I always kind of assumed that new oil is good and metal shavings and unknown oil could be bad. So I decided to do an initial change. I am sure this is like religion though and everyone has their own answer.

LIKE 200i / Like 150i - First Oil Change Report
« on: July 15, 2018, 02:28:22 AM »
108 miles so far. 

Changed the oil this morning with Rotella 15w-40 (https://www.amazon.com/Shell-ROTELLA-Triple-Protection-Formerly/dp/B01LH7L0XA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1531620456&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=rotella+15w40&dpPl=1&dpID=51Qo1dZkfIL&ref=plSrch) It took 0.95 quart as per the manual, dipstick showed half full after that change.  Factory oil was a dark black color.

Checked the oil screen, and the 17mm cap was pretty loose, almost hand tight. Some smallish particles in the screen, but not a huge amount. Will check again at next oil change at 600 or so miles (per factory maintenance schedule). 

Plan is to use the non-sythentic for a couple thousand (or until the gallon I bought is finished) and then switch to sythentic.

Also changed the gear oil to some Lucas 80w-90, 0.19 quarts.  No issues to report with that either.  Factory oil was a greenish color.
 Went on a ~50 mile ride after in 92F heat and the bike didn't miss a beat.

Just a really awesome bike for the price, rides great and zero issues to report.  Really stable at speed, 45-50mph is easy to ride (have not been faster yet, but it will definitely go faster!!!). Lots of power on this thing.

Nice!  Just passed 82 miles on mine.  Only issue I have on mine is my seat lock will only pop open when the ignition is on.  Dealer is gonna adjust the cable on Friday.  My back break seems to be squeaky, assuming that is just break in, but are yours?

Yeah brakes are squeaky but not too bad, I think it is just break-in stuff.

At first my seat wouldn't open at all it seemed like and then suddenly it just started working fine, have not had any issues with it since that first day when it acted strange.

Ha ha ha.  Just bought the same 2018 Like 150i today!  Mines white too.  Love this thing!  Totally went in to purchase a Piaggio Liberty 150, but they were sold out.  I then filled out a finance application for a Vespa Sprint, but while waiting on the answer for the call back from the finance company I looked over at the Like 150 and was like hey can I take that one around the block?  I was sold half way down the block.  But yeah would be cool to get a new sub going.  I bought the first one from this dealer so maybe it might take a while for people to start owning them.  But man, you cannot find a better scoot for the money.

Awesome!  Planning on doing the first oil change this week at around 80 miles. Will be flushing the CVT at the same time as well. I'll post a new thread in the 200i forum with pictures.

By the way, there's another post that shows one with what looks to be a Shad topcase.

Yep, that one is mine. Here is the post with images:

http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=26194.msg186640#msg186640

The underseat storage is really big, but would not fit a full face helmet, so we got the rear case. A 3/4 helmet would likely fit under the seat, but I value my chin.

The rack the dealer ordered from Kymco, and the shad case is just that. Dealer installed both, so I can't comment on how hard they were to get on there. Very happy with the case and rack. With the Shad you can turn the key the other direction and the top case comes off completely, leaving just the rack...super nice.

You made the right choice switching to the 150i from the 200i.  We have 72 miles on our 150i and it is awesome. Very fast for a 150 and great features. Rides awesome.  No issues to report so far, just wish we would get a dedicated forum here for the bike.
