General Discussion / The People Line
« on: October 14, 2024, 04:07:05 PM »
It seems that Kymco is removing the People line little by little. I only see it in 50, 125, 200. I used to like the larger flat bottom 300 gti, but looking at europe and indonesia, they seem to be moving to the agilty and various other Maxi-scooters. Even the offerings in the USA are sporadic at best. Too bad the youth wouldn't see the practicality of scooters for city travel and adventure travel.

Stig,
Have considered using a thin coat ceramic, like turtle wax ceramic https://www.turtlewax.com/products/hybrid-solutions-ceramic-wax-spray-coating-16-fl-oz or other sprays for a little extra protection? I love it on my car, it really kept the color and damage down during the rough winter and spring days with New England salt/sand roads...

What about your Kymco app? Can't you locate your bike through that? I can do it with my AK550....Also its a good idea to put a phone tag hidden on the bike. I can can also trace it through my Samsung Phone. Did you connect your bike to your phone? You should be able to locate it.

General Discussion / Tail of the Dragon
« on: July 17, 2024, 07:26:10 PM »
Klaviator,
I just got back from vacation last week and had the chance to drive the Tail of the Dragon from Tennessee to North Carolina. I was driving my BMW X3 M40i in sport plus mode and that is one of the craziest drives i have done since the Amalfi coast in Italy. I took it relatively slow going up to the North Carolina border(With a fence up top...lol). On the way back i got little more aggressive and it was insane. You can see better going down, but I can only imagine what it was like on your scooters. I wound out that B58 engine on uphill turns and had to back off a little on downhill turns since i was carrying 5000 lbs of mass. What a delightful experience with beautiful scenery all around with the water and mountains. I now understand how intense your scooter pics are when you come to those hairpin turns...

General Discussion / Re: What’s your MPG on the AK 550
« on: June 13, 2024, 06:47:00 PM »
I get between 55 to 65 mpg based off gas fill-ups and GPS. Also it varied between city and highway driving. Seems to be a common MPG amongst AK550 drivers. I use 93 super-unleaded from Shell in my bike, even though its not necessary.
