People GT 300i / Re: Everyone's impression of the seat on the People GT?
« on: May 20, 2014, 02:27:13 PM »
Just logged 1,618 miles on our latest 5 day trip...this seat sucks!

I was able to find some comfort sitting side saddle for a few miles at a time...then folded the passenger pegs down and rode from the passenger seat for a few miles.  This seems to ward off the pain temporarily.  On our 400 mile days I was stopping every 50 miles towards the end of the day.

People GT 300i / Re: Leo Vince Exhaust
« on: May 20, 2014, 01:22:37 PM »
I need one of these in the worst way...My SECOND factory exhaust is losing bits all of the highway.  This factory exhaust is garbage.  I don't blame Kwang Yang, I  blame US emissions standards, but still.  I wish Kymco would just give me $300 to put towards a leo vince rather than yet another replacement factory exhaust that I have to wait 2 months for...and will fall apart after 600-1000 miles of riding. 

NO ONE should be on there third exhaust with 3000 miles on their scoot!

thanks, i think i download that one already, wanting to get the Yager version

Agreed...the dink manual kinda sucks.  Something as basic as changing the spark plug...TOTALLY different.  None of the bolts are in the same spots on the plastics, some are snap fit on the yager and screwed in on the dink.  I definitely don't want to try anything really invasinve without the real manual.

You will want to repair that asap. You could lean out, and increase combustion temps to the melting point of your piston.

I'm sure the potential is there, but definitely not to that extreme.  The air is still only traveling through a 1.25" hole on the airbox, still traveling through a stock throttle body (~26mm), and the engine is water cooled.  Also, I'm positive the snorkel is only designed to be there to reduce the intake noise. 

This is just my opinion, and I do appreciate the concern...but I'll proceed at risk.

I really just wanted to document this incase anyone else has low power issues, low top speed, bogging at starts, etc.

Changed the spark plug and had no noticeable improvements. Took the thing apart again and noticed the air box snorkel was TOTALLY crushed...disconnected it and voila! Instant increase in power and a new top speed of an indicated 76mph!!

Oh yeah...top speed is a whopping 49 mph.  Something is going on here and I have no idea what it is.

Thanks for all the comments guys.  It's kinda running like monkey chit at the moment...starting to knock, really bad under heavy acceleration.  I've never riden a "new" one, but compaired to my 125cc zuma this thing has a general lack of power.  I think I'm going to start with a plug as I assume it's pretty foul.

Yager GT 200i / New scoot...lots of oil...need some advice
« on: May 18, 2012, 01:54:00 PM »
Hey guys.  I bought the wife a used Yager about a week ago (3800miles, pretty clean, pretty good price from a repo depot :) .  The PO was either really dumb, or was trying to sabotage the scoot because it got repo'ed from him. 

The oil light was on, so like a human with a brain in my head I read the manual and found out its just a milage based reminder to change the oil.  I said, "ahh what the hell, one quick spin around the block".  I put about 5 miles on it, and it got REALLY sluggish.  I immediately pulled into a gas staion, and decided to check the oil.  As soon as I removed the dipstick oil was spewing out.  I drained 32, no thats NOT a typo, 32 oz of EXTRA oil...just to get it to MAX on the dipstick.

I rode home, and immediately get a new filter, drained the old oil and put 900ml of mobile 1 in her.  She seems to be running fine now, but I want to know if there is anything else I should take apart and clean, or check up on?  I know my other scoots warn that the air filter can suck up oil if you overfill to that extreme...

Any help would be greatly apprecitated!  Thanks in advance.
