For Sale / 2009 Kymco S 250 in NC
« on: December 08, 2010, 08:47:18 PM »
I bought this bike last summer and I am using it as my daily commuter. The bike has 2600 miles on is in great shape. I did have an aftermarket  drive belt let loose on me but after replacing it with a stock drivebelt I have had no other issues. Comes with the Shad 40 topcase. The bike is located in Sanford NC about an hour south of Raleigh. I know it is a less than ideal time to sell a bike so I am listing this scooter for 2000.00 which is what KBB lists as trade in value. Best way to reach me is by email creekfreek@gmail.com or by cell 919-935-9655.

Thanks
Jim

Sorry for the delay I have been waiting fo rmy replacement belt to arrive. Not covered under warranty because I am the second owner and warranty only covers the original buyer. The belt was a Malossi tat the original owner installed when he changed the variator weights.

Turns out the drive belt shredded and was wrapped around the drive pulley. Surprised that it only lasted 2200 miles. Will order a new one and be back in business. Thanks for the tips and advise.

The gear oil is back by the rear wheel correct :D

Believe me I double checked the oil while I was waiting on my ride to pick me up. It measures right on the dipstick and is that nice clear golden color. I have ruled out my battery dieing and I have a call into my local Kymco dealer to see if the bike is still under warranty. If it isn't I will start taking the plastic off and see what I can find.

If I had messed up the oil change I would have thought the scooter would have broken down during the 15 miles or so my wife was riding it.

I am the second owner of this scooter. Does anyone know if the factory warranty transfers to teh new owner or does it just cover the original owner?

New member on the forum and I have an issue. I was riding to work today doing 70mph on the freeway when I went to pass another car I noticed that the bike did not have any acceleration. Almost immediately after that the scooter died. I was able to get the bike off the hiway and onto the shoulder of the road. I tried to restart the bike and the scooter makes a horrible grinding noise and won't start. The scooter has about 2200 miles on the odometer and has run great in the last month or so that I have owned the bike. I did change the oil last week but can't recall anything out of the ordinary. I put 1.1 liters of oil into the bike after drainig the oil first. My wife did ride the scooter about 15 miles or so since I changed the oil. I checked the dipstick and the oil is at the right level.

I got the bike home in the back of a truck and will tear into it this evening. Anybody have any ideas on where to start. My initial idea is I screwed up the oil change but the bike is full of oil so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be the battery? Could it be the belt (unlikely with only 2200 miles)?
