Exactly which mount did you use on your helmet?. Suction cup?.
Reason for asking is I use a Mobious action cam on my scooter. Am curious if the suction cup mounts are strong enough so one does not have to worry about loosing your camera.
At present, I have mine mounted on my handle bar grip but as you know, a helmet mount  is best.
ps: What cc is your Granturismo?. It is a nice looking scoot.

I just used the curved adhesive on the helmet.  Although I will be getting a GoPole helmet mount in the future.  I have a suction mount that only works on the cowling or metal parts of the scooter.  I do not mount on the handlebars.  Or, meant to say, I have not mounted on handlebars yet.

I have a 05 GT200.  It is 200CC.

Hi Gang,

I wanted to start a post for people to share the GoPro scooter videos. It would be great to see what everybody is doing to capture the joy of riding scooters.

Here is my first GoPro short video 'Scooter Kingdom Come'.

Hope you all enjoy and look forward to seeing your videos.

Best,
Ross

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I just started riding scooters since the summer of this year.  I need to get my motorcycle license so I am a beginner.  I am 35 years old and am very mobile and somewhat in shape.  Overall, my balance is OK.  I hear out of only one ear so my balance can sometimes be a little off because of hearing issues.

With that being said, what are your thoughts on the scooters I suggested and are there any other you recommend?  What are your thoughts on used vs. new?

Thanks
Ross

Thanks for all of the replies.  I found out Continental makes tires in the 130/70/12 for rear and 120/70/12 for front tire on Kymco Like.

Here is the link:

Everyone thinks highly of the Continental tires so I think this is the best choice.

Best,
Ross

Hello

Although I purchased a face shield for my helmet, I still need protection from the wind as it is starting to get cooler here in Colorado.  I am 6'2" and am looking for a screen that can provide full protection against the elements as I plan to ride during the fall and winter.

I am looking at the Biondi and Givi windshields in the links below:

Does anyone have any experience with these windshields? 

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
 

Hello,

After a lot of research on youtube, modern vespa, aprilia forum, and the kymco forum:) and getting a better understanding of where my Kymco Like 50 2T needs improvement, I decided I just want to change out the roller weights.

As mentioned in a previous post, I upgraded to the Malossi 70cc cylinder and Malossi variator.  I am using the Like 50 as a commuter and am more than satisfied with max speed (only gotten up to around 40 mph but this it will go faster).  My only issue is the acceleration at low RPM and acceleration uphill.

Based on my findings and recommendation from my mechanic at Sportique Scooters in Denver, it was recommended that I use lighter roller weights.  I do not know the grams of the roller weights I have in my variator now but I assume they are most likely Malossi as I have a Malossi variator.  I know lighter roller weights might effect my max speed but I am in need of better acceleration in lower RPM when commuting to/from work in Denver.

Which roller weights brand do you recommend?  Dr. Pulley, Malossi, Polini?  I have heard many good things about Dr. Pulley.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ross
 

Hello

I recently upgraded my 2011 Kymco Like 50 2T to have a Malossi 70cc cylinder and variator kit.  The last thing I want to do for now is upgrade my my carb and exhaust.

A couple of questions:

1. What brand and size come size carb come with the 2011 Kymco Like 50 2ST?
2.  What are the advantages to upgrading the existing carb to the PHBG 19mmMalossi Kit shown below:

3.  Lastly, I am going to upgrade to the Leovince SP3 Exhaust.  What is the advantage of upgrading to this exhaust over keeping the stock exhaust that came with the Kymco Like 50 2T?  I would like to improve acceleration at the lower speeds and top speeds.  However, improving lower speeds are more important being that I commute to/from work in the city.

Thanks so much for the feedback.  Also, any information on scooter mechanics are greatly appreciated.

Ross
 

Hello

I purchased a Kymco Like 50 (modified with Malossi 70 cc cylinder/variator kit).  When riding, I sometimes get hit with small rocks/pebbles in the face on the Denver roads.

I am interested in getting a windshield or face shield.  Does anyone have any opinions on these options?

Here is the windshield I am looking at:
