You could do it yourself, but you would need an electric staple gun.

I think you have a warranty claim. I would contact your dealer about it. If you get no where with them contact Kymco USA. They have been responsive to my inquiries regarding my Like.

I've owned a new Like 200 for a week. Have about 300 miles on it. Paid $2995 because the dealer needed to recover his "shipping costs." However, he did throw in a $100 windshield.

It's a grreat scoot, but with one issue...I'm 5'10 and still trying to figure out how to make sharp turns smoothly without my knees getting in the way. Is a little hairy - especiially a right turn from a stop sign. Must lean more than I would like, so have to accelerate more than I like from a stop going around a 90 right hand turn into oncoming traffic. I'm gradually improving with practice, but would still appreciate any suggestions.

Also, is the rear suspension adjustable? Nothing in the owners manual. Some websites say no, but I think I have also read somewhere that it is. Plus I think I can see the adjustment ring on the shock, If it is, turning it which way does what?

Many thanks

So troutbum, I take it your seat cover is not loose? I called Kymco today to see if I could talk to someone but they only have an automated message where you can leave a voicemail. Figured I'd get a faster response if I emailed. We'll see.


Huh Don, not sure why that is. I'm a little taller than you and have longer than normal legs for my size and I haven't come up on this issue yet. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

As for the shock adjustment, I think if you look at it and you are ready to make an adjustment, you won't have a problem. The collar or whatever it's called is set all the way to one side = stiffest setting. At least every report I've read has them at this setting. With either a strap wrench or spanner wrench you should be able to make the adjustment.
