More dealer hot air...
« on: November 15, 2018, 08:45:58 PM »
Kymco Riders of America had a post about asking his dealer in Chandler, AZ which was the oil drain plug on the Xtown 300i. Dealer or dealer tech said it was the big cap on engine right. There is a big (17 mm) hex on the left like the DT/PEOPLE 300i. What say you here?

on my S200 there are actually 2 places where you can drain the oil from...the actual drain bolt (on left side, but will make a mess when it drains, as it drains onto something that I can't quite recall right now) or the bigger bolt which contains the oil screen on the right side of engine. I drain from the big one that contains the oil screen. Needs to be checked and cleaned, anyway.

Wonder if the X300i has a similar setup?

Yeah, I know a lot of GY6 engines also have two drain plugs, one on the side, one on the bottom with the filter.

Although, dealer could be speaking of the oil screen cap on the right cover which if remover would drain most of the oil
