D'you have a tire hugger?
« on: May 11, 2016, 09:48:16 PM »
When I was changing the oil yesterday I noticed how clean the LIKE200i keeps itself because of that tire hugger Kymco uses back there. I just rode through all kinds of kinds of junk the past few days....and still pretty clean. The Burgman fouls itself easily.
BTW, under that flap gets you to the tail light bulb.





We added one to my son's CB500X Honda....and it works well, too.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Yeah, my Super8 has one and it seems a little unnecessary unless you like to keep your scoot clean like me.

My MyRoad 700i has one and it seems like a nice touch compared to my Burgmans and funny because I just happed to run across this at Taiwan Big Scooter Shop web site. While it says it's for '13-up it appears to attach to the swing arm which is the same as the older models so I do not see why it wouldn't work.

My Super 8 had one but two of the three brackets that held it on broke so I took it off.  I don't miss it.

It's a nice feature. I use a jet spray from time to time on medium setting to remove the road grime and prevent accumulation.
