Trouble-free People 250, 39,000 km
« on: November 17, 2016, 04:45:17 PM »
The most reliable vehicle I've ever owned is my People 250, 2007.  It has 39 k km, city driving.  The only unplanned maintenance has been to replace a coolant hose. Still running on the original belt. It's only had one tune up & spark-plug replacement (around 15k km).  About the only rare time it gets flaky is after parking it in the hot sun (gas vapor lockup?)  I do synth oil changes about 3 k km. All the other work has been the minimal maintenance (replacing tires, air filters, gear oil once). I use 85 octane gas.

Gosh, that was wonderful news to hear, as Martin's is the same year model as mine.
It does concern me because he has not been seen or heard from since.

I'm the owner of that  2007 People 250. It now has 40,600 km.  I don't know about rollers; haven't touched them.  The transmission (gear) oil has been replaced twice (altho it might not have needed it); to do so, use a fat hypodermic syringe, e.g., from a pet store.  The bike has been garaged & not driven in the rain or snow.  The scooter literally has had just one, full tune up in 10 years!
