General Discussion / Re: Are the maintenance intervals excessive?
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:37:42 AM »
The number-1 thing you can do for your scooter is "change the oil". Considering the RPM's the engine turns (compared to a car) 3000 miles is a lot of revs. These little engines work hard to get us around. Changing the oil every 1200-1500 miles seems reasonable to me and 1200 is what you said the manual recomended.
Changing your oil a little sooner won't hurt the engine, not doing it soon enough will.
The owners manual on the 300dt says 3000 after breakin. I'll be doing 1500.
Hope it helped.. RP

Usually when somethinhg goes amiss, you go back to when it was right.
If you can, take the scooter back to the shop who did the work and have them recheck what they did.
Hope you have luck.

Because the last thing you did was fuel related. Did you try changing the fuel filter? 4800km is about 3600 miles and a good PMI (preventive maintence inspection) is probably in order. Air filter, Gas Filter, Valve adjustment, verify spark plug is getting a blue spark and not white, yellow or purple, check CVT and clutch and change rear lube.
When I got my first scoot bought a Haynes Techbook on scooters. The infomation is general but has a lot of pictures and well worth it.
The first time is always the hardest.

Big Blue, thanks for the feedback. Tortoise does make a point about the reliability of Kymco in the sense that there might not be a dealer near and people are buying them. And there sure are not any issues with them like the China scooters. I own one and the QC that goes into the manufacturing just isn't there.
Plus, the reason they are called "cheep" isn't just because of the price but the quality of the scooter itself. So, why did I buy a China scooter in the first place?
Price and thought the the comments I read about them were exaggerated. They were not.
I wanted to start looking now to get ready for spring.

The purpose of a forum is to try and help each other not put others down.
The DownTown seems like a real nice scooter and I'm in one of the largest cities in the U.S.. Is there a support network for it here. Does anyone else in Chicago own the scooter? I don't want to shell out $6000 for a ride and not have any backup. If thats the case, I'll ge a Lindhai 300 or BMS 260 for $3000.
Were all part of the same group.

Looking to get the DT300 here in Chgo but the number of dealers is slim, maybe four at the most. I was at Motorworks on Western and they said they could order one, Scooterworks might have something in the spring and Arlington Motorworks is 35-40 miles away. Any tips for Chicago? I live on the S W Side near Midway.
Thanks
