Sounds great! Iwould have been happy to find a good used Yager, I don't believe that you can hurt them unless you do something really stupid, like crash them, unfotunately I just couldn't find one at the time. If I had all to do over again, I would still buy the Yager. My brother just bought a Yamaha Majesty 400, and it does have advantages over the Yager for highway cruising, but just not as well suited for my needs. I wanted a scoot with a flat floor( I put gas cans on the floor when I ran out of gas for the lawnmower) gone to Lowes to pick up a yard light in a pretty large box that would still fit on the floor, great for running to the hardware store for misc item, and running to the post office for mail, seems to be a lot more agile than some of the larger scoots, and still fast enough to maitain 60 to 65 MPH. Having said that , controlled access highways is probably not it's strong suite, and I'm sure the Yamaha Majesty or Suzuki Burgman would be better suited for that. Good luck and keep us posted on your search. papascootin.

Welcome "MASSPT" to the forum. If you go back to page seven and look for a post by "papascootin" you'l see what I went through when trying to find A yager 200I. That said I'm very pleased with my choice and it's all that I hoped it would be. I've seen a 2012 leftover listed on Craigslist maine up in newport,Maine. Search "motocycles" then type Kymco in the search parameters and click image and you should see it. I'm in southern Maine, and would be glad to show you mine, however it's in storage and inaccessable until some snow melts, and that could be awhile since we got another foot of snow yesterday. Good luck, papascootin.

And again, but I'm not sure why they don't enlarge when I click on them.

Trying to post pictures of the new Yager, but I guess the file was to big, so trying to resize. Wish me luck. As my grandchildren are quick to point out, after messing up my 7yr old's nintendo, the 11 yr old was trying to calm him and said " Buddy, calm down, you know papa doesn't know technology " (how very true) .

Great deal DAVEABQ, I would have been all over that. I searched for months on craigs list, E-BAY, etc. but the few that I found were close to the cost of new ones and after including shipping would have been more than the cost of a new one. Maybe I just wasn't patient enough. I almost purchased a super 8 150 but after sitting on it at my local dealer I just didn't think it was much roomier than my Agility 125 and I feared I would be looking at something larger next year. Oh well, Quite happy with the Yager for now, and I think the thing I like best about it ( aside from the added performance) is how much more stable it is at speed. Lot's of fun so far.

Yager GT 200i / Re: What engine oil and transmission fluid?
« on: May 10, 2012, 10:55:55 AM »
I was wondering the same thing about that red oil when I did my first oil change. Is that some kind of "special" break-in oil? Then I thought I probably should have left it in there longer as I did my first oil change at 40 miles.

Yager GT 200i / Re: Storage options for the Yager

I agree with you Ronnath, not a big fan of adding a lot of weight up high on a scoot ( or bike) unless you really need the storage. For my runs to the post office the underseat storage works so far but who knows in the future.

Thanks, DaveABQ & Scooterwolf, acquiring a Yager 200i in new england is no small feat. I live in southern Maine and called every Kymco dealer in New England and could not find a Yager. A dealer in NH called the Kymco rep and the rep told him that if I ordered one I would not see it till mid July at the earliest. He also told me that the rep told him that the only Yager in New England was in Hyannisport, Mass. So, did a search of dealers on the Cape and started calling. Sure enough, JMR Honda in Hyannis had one. Had to buy it sight unseen and paid full price and then drive 360 miles round trip to get the ugliest scooter that Kymco produces.( just kidding Yagerites, it's a fine looking machine) Doing a hard break-in as suggested by Yager200i And have put a 100 miles so far. Changed the oil, filter and checked filter screen at 40 miles and everthing looked fine. Probably won't be as meticulous as Yager200i on maintenance, but will certainly do recommended maintenance. If it ever stops raining around here would like to put more miles on the scoot but am not up for riding in the cold rain. Removed underseat box and disconected the light yesterday ( can't remember where I read it in this forum, but whoever it was,thanks, seems like a great idea to me) Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the great info, certainly helped with my decision.

Yager GT 200i / Newbie with a new Yager GT200I

New Yager owner that recently sold an Agility 125. Some comparisons, pluses and minuses. Agility always started and ran exactly like it was designed to do. Absolutely trouble free. Very easy to toss around, felt cosiderably lighter than the Yager but kind of cramped for a 5'9" 190 lbs person. Usualy rode it flat out and it performed flawlessly, although steering could be skitish at an indicated 100 kilometers. Storage was good, suspension was poor but overall great scoot for the money. I believe Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki have better shock/fork pkgs but cost cosiderably more money. I thought that it would be all I'd ever need to run errands and I had no intentions of going cruising with it as I have other two wheel options. Lo and behold there were instances when I desired to go a "little" faster than the little Agility would go. Plus the steering at speed demanded all my attention. Enter the Yager. Goes that little bit faster that I was looking for, had much more stretch out room, great storage, liquid cooled and injected, had that great flat floor that I wanted and had great " on center" stability at speed. Can actually let go of the bars at speed and steering remains straight and true. Wouldn't even think of doing that with the Agility. Price is good compared to the japanese scoots , it looks like a scooter so you can't pretend to be something it's not. Wish it had better suspension for my tired old bones, and turning radius is greater than the Agility, and sometimes missed. Overall I'm pleased and when I get seat staightened out, I'm sure it will be all I hoped it would be. It sure is fun to ride hard, and the absolute best errand runner( in good weather) that you could ask for.

Yager GT 200i / Re: Yager seat
« on: May 08, 2012, 05:17:25 PM »
Hi everyone, new to the forum although I have been lurking for quite a while. Recently purchased a yager GT200I and just sold an Agility 125 that I purchased as a leftover about a year ago. I love the Yager so far but agree with the seat problem so I am following this thread to see the outcome. I too would like to slide back further than the rise in the seat allows comfortably. I probably would have an uphostory shop do the work, just trying to determine the best direction to go in. Thought of adding a less dense foam ahead of the rise  but not sure if the rise in seat height would be detrimentle when tring to touch down. I also think taking some of the slope out of the seat might make it more comfy... Not sure.
