Just thought I would introduce myself. I just recently adopted a 2007 Kymco 500 from my elderly neighbor. I dont really know much about the scooter world. I have only ever owned motorcycles. The size of this thing really took me by surprise. I am still waiting to swap the title over and get it all street legal but having fun looking it over and sizing it up until then.
Even though it is a 2007, the thing looks brand new. My elderly neighbor only put 78 miles on it before I got it so I am thrilled that I will be the one to break it in!
I do have a few questions though:
1. Whats the deal with the 330lb capacity? I am 260. With those specs I cant even put my 80lb son on the back. Is this right? I noticed all of them have this capacity no matter the size. This thing looks plenty big enough to carry more. This is a huge concern for me. Thoughts?
2. I see that it requires premium 91+ fuel. Anyone tried the regular 87, or is this just one of those "must use the best" kind of deals? Anyone notice a difference?
3. There is a light that keeps coming on on dash. The book says it is saying that the seat isnt fully locked even though it is. Is there a way to adjust the sensor? It goes off when i sit on it but comes on when I get off.
4. There is a light under the seat but it isnt working. I dont know how to get to it. Is there an easy way I dont know about?
I am sure I will have more questions when I start crawling more through this thing but I am glad to be here and glad I found this place.
