Hey, everybody!
I bought a 2006 Kymco People 250cc in 2007 from a friend who needed money.
I LOVE it and won't even think about selling it!
Mods: New Concept carrier on the back (holds my full-face helmet); Iridium Power Plus spark plug (IX22B); and First Gear Heating System (for my vest and gloves which heat up...great for the cold Colorado Rockies mornings which can be in the 30's and 40's even in the summer)
I've looked for a larger windshield and haven't found one for this model....just for EVERY other Kymco model, it seems!
The only time I needed a mechanic to work on it was after I first bought it and it would overheat (and be hard to restart) in the hot summertime. (He replaced the thermostat) But even now if it's over 90 she doesn't like it and will sometimes act up.
I change the oil myself (Mobile One for motorcycles) and also replaced the standard lube in the CVT (tranny) with synthetic (I think it's Blue Max).
I ONLY put the highest octane level of gasoline in her and keep her tires at 35 PSI....she's great!
Glad to meet you folks...when people laugh at you just remind them that you're getting over 70 mpg....that always shuts em up! :-)
