LIKE 200i / Re: New Kid on the Block
« on: December 01, 2015, 02:59:23 AM »
I bought my 2013 Like 200i new almost 2 years ago. Just topped 4,000 miles. I love it. I wanted to reply on your mileage comment. You should keep in mind the mileage will depend on the ambient air temperature. Far as I know, the scoot' has no air preheater. So, when it pulls in cold combustion air, some of the combustion energy goes to heating it to exhaust temperature. I've found I get maybe 70 mpg running it between 40 deg and 50 deg, and over 80 mpg at the peak of summer. Best of luck,and stay off the freeway. You gotta be nuts to want to drive next to semis.

I have a Like 200i, bought new in February. Have changed oil at 200, 400, 600, and 1,600 miles, and have seen no oil loss. Only curious thing is that I can't get more than 23 oz into the engine when I change it (even after dropping the screen). Admittedly, I rarely drive it faster than 40 mph. So, maybe if I ran it harder and longer, there'd be some oil consumption.

When I was surprised at my first oil change (200 mile) to get only 3 cups m/l in, I figured it was 'cause I didn't drop the screen. So, next change (400 mile), I measured what came out (still didn't pull the screen). Got 22 oz. Both times the dip stick (not screwed in) showed the level above the halfway point on the grid. I had the dealer do the next oil change with grid removal at 600 mile for the break in checkup. I checked the oil afterward and it was, as before, above the halfway point on the grid. At 1600 mile, changed the oil myself including dropping the screen. Measured what came out. All told, 23 oz. Refilled with 23 oz, and, as before, measured above the halfway point on the grid of the dip stick. Added another 2 oz, and oil spilled over the edge. I don't think it's possible for me to get any more in. Incidentally, my owners manual does not warn against overfilling engine oil or gear oil.
     Stopped by the dealer to order a spare air cleaner, and forgot to ask about the oil capacity. Maybe next time I'm there I'll remember. Anyway, thanks to you guys for your attempts to help.

I check oil level with the dip stick unthreaded. In any event, the immediately preceding oil change was done by the dealer, the dip stick said the reservoir was full, and I was only able to drain 22 oz, same as from my own oil change-overs.

I've changed the oil three times since I bought the scoot. First two times, didn't drop the screen (I let the dealer do that at the 600 mile workover). I got 22-23 ounces of oil rather than the 30 ounces cited in the owners manual. I figured the rest would come out if/when I dropped the screen. I put in the same volume of new oil as I got out old oil. Just did my 3rd oil change, and dropped the screen. Still got 22-23 ounces. I put the same volume back in. Dip stick says oil's full before and after the change.
     Where's the missing 7-8 ounces?

Thanks again. Got the black access panels off. Yes, it is ridiculously easy once you know how. And, one can touch the dummy outlet and the running light outlet. But, you'd have to be tiny-handed and double-jointed to get the bulb out. Still seems you have to pull the back panel. I'll have another go at it. Sheesh! Theydon't make it easy.

LIKE 200i / Re: New Color Photo REPAIR MANUAL Now Available for LIKE 200i

I'm trying to figure out how to get at the front body lights (not the headlight or stem signal lights). Have unscrewed the eight screws supposedly holding the front inside panel (within which resides the glove box)and the black panels inside the gove box. In neither case could I get the panels to budge. Anything in the manual about this?

Thanks , I'll give it another try. However, I have unscrewed the black panels in the glove box, but they wouldn't move a millimeter. I'm reluctant to try to pry them out 'cause, being plastic, I'm afeared they'll crack ... ditto the "eight screws" panel (within which is built the glove box). Do you have to lift, twist, turn etc. to get them out? And, I'll try searching the old posts. BTW: Yes it'd be cool to have both the stem and body turn signals. Brighter running lights would be a plus, too. The stock lights are pretty dim. The more attention I can get, the better.

Scoot has signal lights on stems at the speedometer panel level. Those are not the lights I'm talking about. I guess it would be the ones near the fender, which seems to include the "dead" (or not connected) turn signal lights and the (what are they?) running lights. I've unscrewed the eight screws that supposedly secure the back panel (that includes the glove box (for lack of a better word). But, something still seems to be holding down the panel, and the running light-dead signal light lense doesn't budge.
   BW: Thanks for the quick response.

How do you replace the front panel signal lights?
