05' KYMCO SUPER 9 RECALL Experience/Informatiion

[Dawsman]

Just found out about the recall notice for the possible engine mounts breaking on the 04 and 05 Super 9 (liquid cooled). Recall notice says KYMCO will replace the engine. My bike has the engine #'s that are listed in the recall. I love the bike but dont want to die riding it. Has anyone had their engine replaced for this recall? I have a call in to Kymco and hope to hear back tomorrow. Ill keep you guys/gals posted. daws.

I've heard of the recall, but don't understand it.  I've seen some of the replaced engines pop up on eBay and the likes...  A friend of mine even has 2 of those engines, and I don't think they're going to be any problem.  Bottom line though, if Kymco's going to replace the engine, go for it.  Then sell the old one to me.

Issue solved.  Contacted Kymco yesterday with  my vin and engine #'s.  Turns out the affected engines have a number of KBE7 with a 1 underneath.  Luckily mine has a number 2.  Kymco rep says 1 is bad 2 is good.  They were very willing to replace engine if need be.  Very happy with Kymco customer service and response. daws
