Hey, I'm new to the whole scooter thing and I just bought a used 2008 Kymco People S 50 4t with about 4500km on it. Everything seems to work just fine, except that the front brake is disconnected or something. When I squeeze the front brake lever, there is zero resistance and I can compress it completely until it touches the rubber handle bar grip. When I pull the brake lever the rear light turns on, but the brake pads don't move at all.
I am hoping that a repair would be as simple as reconnecting a wire, or hydraulic hose somewhere and that I can avoid taking it in to a dealer. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem, or if anyone knows something about the fix, because the dealers in my town are all pretty shady and I don't want to get jerked around since I'm a total noobie!
ps - is there a guide somewhere for all of the basic maintenance (fluids and the like) that I should be doing?
