After looking at the service manual, I could see this was way beyond my capabilities. Had Sun and Fun Motorsports pick it up and repair it. They also did some annual maintenance. Its a little crowded in my garage with my big lawn tractor and 2 scooters than the car behind them. Maybe I'll sell one, well see.

I bought this scooter new and noticed a small anti-freeze leak. The main tech at the dealer said no problem, that it will happen occasionally also others on the forum had a similar problem. After 2 years and 3000 miles it has grown worse. There is now a small puddle almost every week. It must be coming from the water pump and by now there should be a trail that I can follow to the source. I have no idea how to get to the water pump or how difficult it might be. Even if I can't fix it, at least I'll know what I'm dealing with. Any suggestions!

Found the scooter I've been looking for, a Honda Silverwing. I know, who wants one of those. My garage holds 2 scooters and now I have 3. So, I'm lowering the price on the Kymco to $5500 but that is firm. The Honda Helix is also for sale so whichever one goes first. I never put motorcycles outside unless with a waterproof cover. Don't want to do it though, somebody might steal it.

Thanks guy's... I did finally read that the premium had electronic cruise control but did not know that we can't even get it. Why does it have to be so difficult to dig up information. I did ask my dealer to recommend a good manual cruise control and he said sorry, liability issues.

Sorry it  took me so long to reply. I would say my manual cruise control has the same function as your Cramp Buster. The grip does take some effort so I use the cc a lot. My wrist isn't what it used to be. It seems there is always a compromise though. I ride along the Mississippi River a lot and a deer may jump out of the woods right in front of you. The Kymco has tremendous stopping power but you would waste a couple of seconds with the cruise on which is too much. An older man pulled out of his driveway this morning right in front of me. Course I was watching him and easily stopped. Being its so hot I ride early in the morning. Yesterday a beaver flew out of the ditch so fast I had no time to react. Missed me by a hair. Well anyhow, thanks for the replies.

Even though I'm 82 yrs old, I do have one scooter that is easy to ride, has a great suspension and seat. Its a 2004 Honda Helix with 16,000 miles on it. Because its 20 years old, I replaced almost everything. I did a lot myself and Midwest Honda the difficult stuff like carburetor repairs. I've got 2 flags on the trunk so people will see me better. Already have about 2000 miles on it. No four lanes as top speed is about 65. Tires are new and I did put on a backrest for myself. Still want to sell the Kymco though.

For Sale: 2022 Kymco AK550 black 3000 miles. Warranty good until end of July. Getting too old and the seat height has always bothered me. I can barely touch the ground. 2 windshields. $7000.00 located Keokuk, Iowa

I have a good manual cc but an electroniuc one would be nice. Break-a-away might fit (its manual) but they say not for heated grips. Don't understand that one. The 2023 might have electronic cruise, haven't checked yet. Anyone found something I missed!
