Sting 50?
« on: August 31, 2010, 02:55:17 PM »
My LSS (local scooter shop) has Kymco Sting 50's in stock. 

They say its a 2 stroke.

Anybdy have any info or experience with them?

Think that would be a good way to get a new 2 stroker and trick it out?
Im usually on a bicycle, so for me, this thing is hauling ass!

 I'm not familiar with that one. If wanting to trick one out I'd get the people 50 2t or the s9 2t used. Me personaly I like the 16" tires better,but if planning a bbk. and all, might as well get a used one.      There is alot of info and parts out there allready for these two.

 Not to my knowledge,it's a clone of the honda dio I believe,but the one I had breifly(zx super fever) did have the same cdi up front. The people is considered a horizontal and the zx a virtical,not sure what the people is based on.

  Thats my guess but never seen one. Have heard the kymco people line is a bit of thair own r and d but i'm sure it's based on a known performer.

  Just another thought the stator for my people was a gy6 replacement The wiring was different and the timming pickup was off  but the rest was fine. just needed a couple tweeks.
