General Discussion / Re: Difficulty in getting kymco scooters serviced in NYC?
« on: March 14, 2025, 08:16:15 PM »
Yup..apparently no better here in NYC so I passed on it..def considering a used Honda PCX 150 as a bunch of shops said parts are plentiful and maintenance is reasonable.

I owned a People 150 from '97-'08 and had no concerns about servicing not to mention the abundance of used ones available..

Now?

Nada...barely a used scooter in this city..a bunch of delivery dude chinese made models but I'll take a pass on those..lol

Thinking about getting a used Kymco scooter but wanted to know about servicing options(parts..etc) as back when I had my People 150 there wasn't any issue..wondering if things have changed at all

TIA

People 150 / Re: Front Fender Removal..
« on: May 11, 2015, 12:20:56 PM »
of course they did  >:(

I'm thinking about using a dremel with a circular saw attachment and cutting off most of the exposed fender so that it's still connected but the front part of the fender won't show as much..

Thanks for your feedback..

People 150 / Front Fender Removal..
« on: May 10, 2015, 09:30:34 PM »
So, my People 150 got knocked over yet again here in NYC..

At least this time, they left a note indicating how I can contact them to resolve damage.

Anywho, while this all plays out, I'm looking to do as much cosmetic work as possible.

The front fender is now a jagged shape..kind of like a great white took a partial bite out of it..lol

I can't figure out what's involved with it's removal just by looking it over..

Does anyone have experience doing this?

Do I have to remove the front panel where the chrome air flow panel resides?

How about the front panel on the inside of the scooter where the glove box is?

I noticed 2 "bolts" on each wheel fork but it didn't appear to me that the fender was connected to them..which means they prob are ;-)

Thanks for your help in advance..

People 150 / Battery Details for 2004 P150
« on: May 19, 2014, 03:59:22 AM »
Have a feeling that my battery might of died as nothing happened when I turned the key this afternoon.

Anyway, doing some research on a replacement battery and as you all probably know these parts have crazy ID#'s.

I believe I'm looking for a 12 Volt battery and I've heard Yuasa makes a reputable product.

That being said, it appears that these 12V Batteries come in multiple sizes/shapes.

Anyone know a specific Battery Model # that is a good choice for a 2004 P150?

Thanks in advance..

People 150 / Re: How best to clean an '05 P150 seat?
« on: December 23, 2013, 02:34:06 AM »
I have a cover that has a few slits in it..old.

No doubt time to shop for a new one..shame is it fits the bike perfectly..completely hassle free to throw over bike.

Anyway, I don't think it's mildew as the cover clearly has many openings  :-\

I'll try the soft brush and detergent method you suggested..

Appreciate your reply..

People 150 / How best to clean an '05 P150 seat?
« on: December 21, 2013, 05:51:17 PM »
So, just took the girl out for a ride as she'd been covered for a few months out on the streets.

Even so, the debris and schmutz had settled into the seat fabric.

Anyone have a simple, effective cleaning method to deal with the kind of fabric(or what is it?) that this scooter sports?

Thanks,

J.

Technical | How To / Re: horn assembly assistance
« on: September 23, 2013, 04:27:56 AM »
Hey all, following this thread as I'm looking to put a new horn in my '04 P150.

I tried to pull off the front fairing but something's not releasing and I don't want to break the panel or any seals or anything.

I unscrewed the big screw on the outside above the chrome and the 2 little ones on the black panel near the glove box.

Really didn't see any other fasteners from the awesome photo's provided on this thread.

That being said, something at the bottom of the fairing seems to be blocking my efforts.

I pulled out, up and down but to no avail..

Hoping to get some help...

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Thanks again,

People 150 / Suggestion for an adhesive for chrome trim on each side of center panel
« on: June 04, 2013, 02:45:50 AM »
So, one of the welded connection points that keeps the long thin silver chrome trim design attached to the center panel came unattached.

Due to the elliptical design of this long thin piece of chrome(1 on each side) using regular adhesive probably won't due...

Anyone ever have to fix this issue..don't want part of it sticking out as the remaining contact points are sure to follow.

Thanks so much..
