General Discussion / Re: The People Line
« on: October 28, 2024, 08:15:17 AM »
In my city, Kymco has totally disappeared.  My own 2009 Kymco is likely the last Kymco on the road.  The dealers have all moved to other brands.  One that seems to have take the place of small Kymcos (50cc - 200cc) is the Scorpion brand. Scooters, motorcycles, ATVs.  Made in China I'm guessing.

Bluejays do love the peanuts, but so do the squirrels
I buy bird seed soaked in hot sauce.  The birds don't mind (they have no sense of taste), but the squirrels hate the flavor.  Regardless, I'm not a squirrel-lover.  They're carnivorous little rodentsthat eat birds.  I wish I could still shoot them like in the old days!

General Discussion / Re: Rear wheel removal and install.
« on: October 28, 2024, 01:51:14 AM »
I always thought it's normal procedure to remove the wheel and take it to a m/c shop when replacing the tire.  It's what I've always done for the last 50+ years!  A good m/c shop has the small diameter tire machine needed for doing m/c tires.  Car tire shops don't have the correct tire machine.  I use an electric impact wrench and do it by ear.  You can "feel" when it's done.  I wish I could be more helpful!

Agility 50 / Re: Check engine starts blinking 4 times while driving
« on: October 27, 2024, 08:59:38 PM »
Some Kymco 4-strokes use the oil light to signal when it's due for an oil change. Mine starts blinking every 2000 km.  Turn it off using the key toggle.  Not all Kymcos are the same.

General Discussion / Re: NSR: how do you make coffee?
« on: October 27, 2024, 08:56:40 PM »
Stove-top espresso is the only way to make coffee!  1/4 cup, then add 3/4 cup hot milk. It's too strong in the evening, but excellent on a cold day.  Tea in the evening.  Life is good in winter!

Thanks a lot, stranger!  How'd you like to PUFO, as we used to say in the army.  Or in plain English,"Bugger off."  Your link is chock full of malware.

Springfield, OH?
Is that the place where immigrants are eating pet cats?

It's not like it's a Tesla! Why would any sensible Toyota cab driver (or Uber driver) pass up on an honest  paying fare?

Do the AC and LC versions have the same kickstart cover/assembly?

Check the parts manual - they're online on most dealer websites.

Super 9 / Re: Parking lock broken, and handlebars do not align with front wheel
« on: October 05, 2024, 08:21:01 AM »
SOP is to replace the steering lock.  It takes a bit of work, but can be done since it's a common problem in some areas.

People GT 300i / Re: Engine loosing power with "2 dots" of Fuel
« on: October 05, 2024, 08:16:39 AM »
This is a fairly common small motorcycle issue.  I always solve it by checking/cleaning the fuel tank vent, air filter, and the carburetor.  It's one of these.  If it's fuel injected, skip the carb part, but have a look at the fuel pump!

LOL! It's not only Iowans!  The FAA prohibits e-gas in airplanes because the statistics show that it creates problems: https://generalaviationnews.com/2016/10/24/ethanol-and-aircraft-just-say-no/

Super 9 / Re: Kymco Super 9 LC 2005 Crankseals and bearings
« on: August 09, 2024, 07:28:18 AM »
No need to measure. There is only one size.  Buy from the dealer (or online).  A new crankshaft comes with seals and bearings. Example: https://www.azmotors.fr/PIECES_KYMCO/KYMCO_50_2T/vue-eclate-SUPER9-AC/1.SET_MOTEUR.html
