Downtown 300 / Re: Which brand of oil do you use?
« on: March 05, 2014, 10:32:57 PM »
I use 0W-40 here in Korea for the engine and 75w-90 for the gear both mobil 1. 5w-50 is not as good as 0w for cold, but the 50 weight means it will help protect a bit more at high temps.

Downtown 300 / Re: Low beam HIDs for DT300

HID is a bad idea. The lights are not designed for HID they are designed for halogen.
Get some good fogs... like my bike has!

HID lights are illegal... plus do research the housing even with projectors is designed to aim light from a halogen bulb. My best results are with upgraded halogens GP thunder 8500K with two 20W LED fogs...

I did fog lights 20W LED powered about 1 amp each... BIG performance boost.

Downtown 300 / Re: Engine Fault Code 01 - on LCD

Hi guys my name is James I live in Seoul. I just got a new Kymco Downtown 125i...
I too get error codes 01 and 06 from time to time. I am thinking I will take my bike into the shop soon as I am concerned by these code and a few other things.
1) From the day I got the bike it had very low fuel from the store and the 3 block drive to the fuel station it had very low power and with open throttle the engine would not respond. The store owner came out and put in a bit of fuel that he took from my trade in and it got us to the fuel station. However from time to time especially on colder days I give it half to full throttle and the engine just does not seem to want to rev up....
2) I hear a rattle around 5k RPM. If it is on the center stand it will never do it. Perfectly quiet. It sounds like I have picked up some gravel or something and its stuck in some paneling somewhere... I really am 90% sure this is what it is but still thought it was worth mentioning.
3) I have done some small electrical mods. I have some LED accent lighting (less than 2 amps at most) on the sides and front for looks and safety as well as added two led powered fogs to the front that are 0.7 amps each. Last is a top case with led brake lights. Top case is wired to the brake wire on the rear tail, led accents are powered from the tail running light, and the fogs (and small front accent LED) are wired to the power from my headlights. I do this as LED have such low draw their should be no issues, and I of course know a bit about electrical from working on bikes and cars in the past to know that the lighting circuit is completely separated from the engines electrical system.
If anyone has some thoughts please let me know and I would REALLY like to know what those error codes mean.
