Kymco News / Re: Switching an 80 mm tire to 90 mm

« on: August 07, 2017, 06:07:45 PM »

Thanks for the help. It seems that the shinko 80/80-16 listed on amazon for a great price is actually tubeless. It says on Amazon it needs a tube, but the people who have bought it say that when it arrives, it says tubeless on the tire. They have all installed it tubeless, and are happy.

So I am going ahead and will order both of my tires, front and back, on Amazon. The price is hard to beat.

Hi Kymco riders,

I have a 2004 kymco people 50. A great scooter, but I need new tires. I cannot find a front tire, 80/80-16 which does not require a tube. I do not want a tube. Has anyone tried a replacement using a 90/80-16 on the front? Will it rub too much.

Or if you know of a good proper replacement tire for the front....tell me. The back tire is easy to replace on Amazon.

I was also trying to buy Star-Tron, which they say gives amazing results. But when I went to Walmart I could not find it in the automotive section. It turns out they sell it in either the sports, boating, or garden section.

I still intend to try it this winter...but I have to buy some first.

Today we tried some Sea-Foam. Since we had only half a tank of gas, I put in just 1/2 oz of Sea-Foam.

Recently the Kymco has not been starting well, and also it has been sputtering at early take-off. Within 5 minutes of running today.....the motor ran smoother and also took our big hills here in NM much faster. It was an amazing display.....in such a short time.

I am now a Sea-Foam believer.
