Technical | How To / Re: Disturbing Vibrating "ticking" Sound (People S200)
« on: September 15, 2011, 07:47:35 PM »
Well, everyome and his uncle at the dealership rode and listened to the scooter and they swear they hear nothing wrong. So I guess I could be wrong. And if I'm not, I guess they'll have to fix it if it blows up.

Can you feel the ticking where you think you hear it?  Can you video it, put it on facebook or something and give us a link?  Not much else we can do remote.

Not really. Theres nothing to really video since I can't see anything wrong, and by the time it ticks real bad its too hot to touch.

I'm taking it back to the dealer today and I am not leaving without answers.

Try feeling for the ticking.  Start the bike on the centerstand and have someone occasionally give it just a few revs.  Feel around on the bike and try to isolate where the ticking is coming from by where you feel it the strongest.  If it's something simple like a vibrating panel then you can definitely find it - of course that shouldn't get worse as it warms up...

I did all that. I can't "feel" anything loose. All I know is that it gets bad when its hotter, and when I stuck my head next to the hot engine yesterday, I could have sworn it was coming from where that fan on the side is, but I'm not 100% sure.

Terry - you'll get better help if you don't post the same question in multiple places.

Well, I thought maybe I posted the first one the wrong section. I thought this section might be better.

Technical | How To / Disturbing Vibrating "ticking" Sound (People S200)

I have a People S200 with only about about 800 miles on it, and there is a vibrating "ticking" sound, very fast, that goes up and down with the engine speed, and seems worse after the engine has been warmed up for a while. Anybody else hear about anything like that?

I took the bike to the dealer and the mechanic said he didn't hear anything. But now its getting worse.

I was wondering if it might be that plastic fan on the side, because it sounds like its coming right from in there somewhere.

(I am going to ask this question in the Technical Forum too.)

Any chance thew odometer is reporting in KM instead of miles. I believe it is switchable.

It says "miles" next to the number

Perhaps you should mention what vehicle you are speaking about.

Oh. Sorry.

Its a 2009 People S 200.
I bought it brand new a few weeks ago. (The dealer still had a couple of 2009 models in the showroom.)

People 250 / Re: PS250 - digital odometer not responding to buttons

I have a 2007 People S 250 which I purchased used.  I had to replace the speedo gear and cable and the speedometer is working fine now.  The digital odometer refuses to respond to the buttons and when I turn on the ignition I sometimes get odometer, sometimes trip  and sometimes service.  Does anyone know of a way to reset the thing or maybe even replace it?  I'm hoping I don't have to replace the entire panel.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:  BTW, I have read the manual and know how the buttons are supposed to respond.  They just don't.  I read one poster say that it was all about "the angle" used to press the buttons.

I bought a 2009 model BRAND NEW and the buttons don't work!!
Plus my odometer is adding miles to fast, which is going to make my warrant run out fast.

You had better check you odometer. Drive somewhere where you know the exact distance, like about 50 miles, and then see how many miles got put on the odometer.

 >:(

For every 60 miles I ride, my odometer says that I went 80 miles!! Has anyone else had that issue?

Is this some sort of trick to get my warranty to run out faster?

How can I calibrate my odometer?

Check your valve clearance.
Okay. I don't know jack about engines, but I'll mention it to the dealer.

By the way: It seems worse after the engine has been warmed up for a while.
