hi karl, thanks for getting back with some good info.  I appreciate your time on this.....also, I see there will not be a 2018 downtown 300, but now an x-town 300 with abs for quite a bit less than the downtown........I believe around 4K.............wonder how it compares to the dt300??.....

Downtown 300 / Re: 2012 downtown 300 belt replacement

Karl, another question about my belt replacement.  I need to get the belt deeper into the clutch to allow room to clear the movable bushing on the front engine shaft.  I tried the 1" (3/4" actual) board, but no luck.  the new belt will not clear on the front.  Also seems as though both halves of the clutch plates are together as close as possible.  I believe if I get the belt deeper into the clutch, I'll be ok to finish the work.  Any suggestions?...thanks..

Downtown 300 / 2012 downtown 300 belt replacement

Hi all, just a few questions about changing the drive belt on my downtown 300.  I have a shop manual (pdf), which helps to instruct.  one question is about the washers on the front pulley.  I believe the beveled side of each one should be on the inward side.  Is this correct?.....I'm sure about the innermost washer, but the outer one with the drive shaft nut, I missed that position when I pulled the nut/washer off.  Also, a question about greasing.  I'm not sure where and how much.  I believe I need to be careful as where grease is put as it might be a problem with the drive belt.  I have not pulled the back pulley off, which has the belt.  Any tips on this would be appreciated (sanding, a spacer to hold the width for the new belt, etc.??)....thanks for looking and your time on this.

People GT 300i / Downtown 300 Long distance reviews
« on: August 08, 2013, 01:12:47 AM »
Hi, I'm new to this forum.  Bought a Downtown 300 back in March and I love it.  Only issue is it starts hard when it is warm (out in the sun).  Had it to the dealer where it was purchased.  Manager claimed it was fixed, but it still takes longer to start than it should.  I did call another dealer who said they would look at it for me even though I didn't purchase it there.  Thought that was nice of him.  If they find the problem, I'll give them my business for any service or future purchases.  Also, anyone out there who has taken the 300 for a LONG trip?  I mean several days of riding??.......appreciate any input....oh, I also like the fuel economy.
