People GT 300i / Re: Pictures of my first oil change

Good photos.  I agree, this is a do-it-yourself operation.  It's not that difficult.  Thanks for your report.

Great !  :)  It should "smooth" out on the acceleration as you put some miles on it.  Mine did.  Enjoy ! :) :)

Congrats on the new GTi 300!  I remember that when I first got mine it was a little quick on the initial acceleration.   It would almost "jump" when you initially added power.   But after riding it a while, it seemed to smooth out; or else I just got smoother on the throttle.

I had a 2005 People 150 that I rode for 21,000 miles and then traded up for the 2012 GTi300 last November.  The 150 was a great little scooter and I do miss it.  I rode it coast-to-coast across the USA.   However, I am really enjoying the GTi300 as well.   Each one has it's own good traits.  Maybe I should have kept the 150 too !   :)

People GT 300i / Re: Puig Windscreen Installed

Is it alright to ask how much you paid for the windshield?  Was shipping very expensive?  I haven't purchased this scooter yet, but hope to by end of the month.  Windshield is a must for me.
Thanks.

I paid 137.00 euro...or $180.35 in US dollars, which included shipping.  The windscreen was 78,53 euro and the shipping was 59, euro.  I paid by PayPal and that made it easy.l   See my note above regarding additional info from josep@motoaccess.com

The Puig Windscreen model is: T.G.  (Ref: T.G. 5593W Clear) You can get a good look at it on the Puig USA web site:  www.puigusa.com.  This windscreen is shown as being made for the Kymco People GTi 125.  Since the GTi125 and GTi300 are the same physical dimensions, it fits the GTi300.  I ordered it from Motoacces which handles internet sales to the USA.  It you need further info you can email josep@motoaccess.com.  Good luck.  BTW...this windscreen is taller than I expected.  I'm 5'7" and I see through the windscreen, which is fine for me.  Some folks like to see over the screen.  Puig might have a smaller screen, but you'd have to ask "Josep" at Motoacces.  I still like mine.  Sure keeps the wind off.  Hope that helps.

Bought my 2012 People GT 300i last Nov and currently have 800 miles on the odometer.  Running great and loving it.  Of course, here in sunny Florida you can ride all year long !

Will attach a "side" view of the scooter to show the Puig Windscreen.  As I said before, it sure makes it more comfortable riding.  Overall, I'm enjoying the People GT 300i as much as my Suzuki Burgman 650.   I like the lighter weight of the 300i and it handles easier.  I rode today at 60 mph and the windscreen was steady.  I would even take a multiple day trip with this scoot !

I ordered the Puig windscreen from Motoaccess in Spain and it arrived in two and a half weeks.  It's not big as the ERMAX windscreen, but it goes on easier without having to mess with the front turn signals.   Easy to put on and take off.  Having a windscreen makes a big difference.  I'll try to send a photo of the windscreen installed.

Thanks,  ... I'll give Jenny at TNT Cycles a call.

Can you tell me a source for the HF566 ?  The HiFlo web site indicates they are currently unavailable.

Thanks to Munks for the info on the Downtown 300 oil filter, etc.   Very helpful.  Just what I needed to know for changing the oil and filter on the People GT 300i.   My local dealer says he can get the filters from Kymco in Spartensburg, SC.   It just takes a few days.   In the meantime, I'll continue to look for another retailer for a little better price if possible.  Thanks again.

A big "Thanks" to Oldscoot for seeking the answer to my Oil Filter questions on the Downtown 300 forum.  The response from Munks was great.  Just what I needed.  I think I can handle the oil and filter change as a DIY.  Thanks again.

People GT 300i / People GT 300i Oil Filter ?
« on: January 21, 2012, 10:10:37 PM »
My new 2012 People GT 300i is ready for its first oil change at 600 miles.  However, I'm not sure where the oil filter is located.   Where is it?  The owner's manual doesn't mention it.  Is it an internal filter or screw on filter?  Also, is the filter for the Downtown 300i and the People GT 300i the same?  What is the normal cost of a new oil filter and what is the Kymco part number for the filter?   Would appreciate any help in finding a source for the oil filters.

Just got my People GT 300i a week ago and love it.  It really does need the windscreen though.  I am considering getting the ERMAX windscreen.  Thanks for your photos.  Have you re-conected the US signals, or will you wire the Euro signals?
