People 150 / Re: Looking for Exhaust Assembly
« on: August 23, 2012, 12:57:48 PM »
OK....I found a mechanic who thinks he can weld the neck of the muffler back together.  I'm hoping this will do the job instead of having to spend $200 on the muffler assembly.  One thing I learn is to constantly check all bolts each time I check tire pressure.  Does anyone know if a weld job will fix the muffler neck as long as the weld job is done right?

The bolt I am needing is the 96001-06008...I think.  I just don't know the exact length.  Would anyone know for sure?  OR....will everything I need come together with the assembly?  And how about the gasket near the motor?  Should I get one of them since it doesn't look like it comes with the assembly?  Thx in advance.

TY SO MUCH.  I'm also wondering if anyone knew the size of the top bolt which holds the muffler assembly on.  That is the bolt I lost which caused the muffler exhaust to break off and I need to replace it.

Hello my fellow riders......

I was out riding this weekend when I busted up my exhaust assembly.  Apparently the upper bolt came off and the assembly broke.  I would like to find a basic stock assembly.  Could someone point me in the right direction of finding a basic (and cheapest) replacement.  Also...how hard is it to replace if I had a friend help me lean the bike to the side to get to the bottem portion of replacing the assembly?

People 150 / New Rider on P150

Hello...

I JUST upgraded from a Longbo Traveler 49cc (which was great for a first experience the first few months) to a Kymco People 150.  I just purchased it used from a new friend.  This friend is EXTREMELY anal about the upkeep of their "toys" (boat, honda shadow, bikes, etc) as well as any powered equipment.  The only reason for the sale is that they too upgraded their kymco P150 (which I bought) with a honda shadow.  I did a lot of research and found kymco very reliable and felt comfortable with my purchase.

The odometer reads 4911 and purchased price was only $1,400 (deal to a new friend).  I have rode the bike before buying and it is smooth sailing and looks new.  I want to get on track with myy own records of maintenance.  Can someone, anyone, tell me what would be the first things to do when buying a used bike outside of changing the oil?  As mentioned, there is NO mechanical problems and practically new condition.  I want to keep it this way.

Also, I would like to be able to travel about 140 miles (secondary roads) one way to visit a family member and was wondering what kind of ride to expect.  Would my P150 be able to handle the trip without straining the engine? Will my butt be hurting too much to enjoy the visit after the ride?  What would be top speed for the duration of the trip?

One other thing....I have heard there are ways to get more top end speed.  Can someone help advise me of a way to do it myself...or have a mechanic do it cheaply?


Now that I'm here I am off to read everything I can find here.  Thanks in advance.....
