Talk to your dealer personally, it's easier to ignore someone on the phone (which he should NOT do).  The  2015 model 700i LE doesn't come with all of the goodies like the 2014 was supposed to.  I likewise had a misunderstanding when I placed my initial order from Kymco.  I thought the 700i LE came with the roof, windshield, hard doors, etc but it doesn't.  Even the dealers got it confused but give us some time and we will get it worked out.  I'm located in central Arkansas and will do whatever I can to help any of you guys out.  Never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but ain't an idiot either.

I had replied to this but when I went to post it, it disappeared.

Anyways, THANKS for the feedback.  I know enough to know that most customers know about their rides.  I have been into dealerships before and have been told all sorts of BS by people trying to impress upon me their knowledge.  I have owned a Polaris and Arctic Cat dealership in the past and from what I've seen so far am impressed with Kymcos product.  Polaris made JUNK 20 years ago themselves, especially when they were using chain drives and 2 stroke engines, but they seem to have come a long way since I sold out. 

I want to be involved with a quality company that makes a quality product and stands behind their product and supports their dealers.  I think Kymco has a ways to go before they are competing with Polaris but they have what I think is a solid foundation on which to build.

We are a "Mom and Pop" shop, not a mega shop.  When a customer comes in with a problem it is taken seriously and a resolution is a high priority.  If any of you guys/gals are ever in central Arkansas, look us up.  We may even go on a ride with you.

Good afternoon all and Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I am a new KYMCO ATV and UTV dealer in Russellville Arkansas.  I have worked on atvs and motorcycles for longer than I care to admit on here but will honestly admit I am new to the KYMCO brand.  I tried to do my homework before signing on to become a dealer and so far am quite pleased with what I see and know.  I know that I am not a walking encyclopedia on Kymco units and will most likely be picking your brains (owners) for information frequently.  I feel there is no better training than to talk with people who actually USE what I will be working on. My family rides pretty much anything with handlebars and we have never been known back up from a good mud hole, in fact I tried out the front differential lock this afternoon on our UXV700i LE demo.  It worked as designed and I was satisfied.

I do already have a few questions and am having a little difficulty finding solutions going through the "dealer channel".  I understand CVT transmissions but am yet to disassemble a KYMCO atv cvt.  The little Mongoose 90 and the little MXU 150 seem to have a limiter in the cvt to keep the clutch discs from opening up all the way which in turn limits their top end speed.  I have read there is a "kit" to allow the units to reach some more of the potential.  I'm all ears as to how to locate this "kit".

Also, I would like comments from owners about mods that have been successfully made.

AND…… Russellville is just South and North of some FINE riding areas.  While out riding today we ran into a group of folks from Iowa who were here riding and they say they try to make it down here several times a year and they ride out West as well.  They were all on POLARIS Razr 1000s.  They didn't go anywhere I didn't go, they just went there faster!

Drop me a line if you have the time, I would like to hear what you have to say, good AND bad. Later
