How many miles on your Kymco scooter ?

[mrmike]

 2012 GTI 300 bought in April
 1550 miles so far
 Just routine oil and filter changes and installed 14g Dr Pulley sliders
 Will be getting better tires (Michelin city grips) when I put it back on the road in the spring.
 No problems, about 65MPG and runs great.

2009 Grand Vista bought new in June, 2011 with a whopping 1 mile on the odometer. Now have a little over 8100 miles with no major issues. I've changed engine and gear oil, adjusted the aim of the headlight, had the dealer check the valves and had new tires put on this year. I've added a top case, a Wolo Bad Boy horn and lots of LED lights.

I was in an accident where the scooter and I slid down the street. All the scoot needed was a new mirror and a few body panels.

This is a great scoot. I get 60 mpg and up, it maneuvers great in town, has enough speed for the highway and enough storage for my normal amount of stuff. But, if I had the extra $$ and garage space I'd add a bigger scoot for riding with my motorcycle buddies.

2009 Xciting 250Ri..bought "new" in April 2012 with 3 miles on it.  I now have 2880 problem- free miles.  I often ride with my wife 2-up on it and have had no problems with this either.  The only issue of any note is that the small storage box in the front panel will no longer lock as the lock broke....but I never use it...it could maybe hold my wallet and not much more.

2013 Like 200i bought in March. 3400 miles. No problems! I've checked the valve clearance once, and just change fluids. Great scoot!

2013 Xciting 500 acquired in May. Just over 4k miles so far.

[Red Horn]

7,700 miles

2009 Agility 125

Bought new spring 2011

About 10 self performed oil changes

about 4 self performed diff oil changes

Recently adjusted rear brake since lever was now coming too close to grip

Original CST rear tire about to be replaced most likely by a City Grip

Still fires up instantly, idles fine and runs like new on factory valve settings

Dealer created electrical problem replacing a faulty speedo under warranty that caused fuses to blow constantly. This also caused brake light failure rendered electric start inoperable. Now know how to efficiently kick it

Got water in fuel system due to over aggressive washing and had to let idle for a couple hours to clear out

No other issues other than minor crash damage due to being rear ended by a truck

With care, the sky's the limit..

I have a friend who owns a dealership in Freeport, IL  and he had a couple who traded in their his and her's Honda Helix's for new scooters a few years ago.. Both bikes had been in all 48 states, as well as many Canadian provinces. Both bikes had over 100K miles, and both were sold as used shortly thereafter, and are still running strong. Amazing what steady oil changes can do..

My 2005 People 50 has 4500 or so miles. Looking forward to adding to that amount.

Well, too make a somewhat long story short and to not derail this thread entirely, out of respect for the OP, here goes.


Will try and post a pic, hope it works.

This is the picture that they took at the festival of the boys and myself seconds after we won. Good times. (And that's the face I make when trying to chew lunch, handle kids and be excited all at once.)

Well, good on you!
You won your scoot in a raffle! That is too cool!
That's a nice scooter- love those big wheeled scoots.
Ride safe, and send more pix when you get out on the road.

Then there's that pair of SYM HD125's which have rolled up 60,000 miles with no major issues!
Amazing!

2007 Kymco Bet & Win 125.  9,000 miles.  I recently took it to a shop and the mechanic said he has never seen a Kymco scooter with more than 6,000 mies on it.  He was trying to tell me that it was on it's last leg.

The only way to qualify this is to say I bought mine ('05 ZX-50) w/ 23,000km in 2008. It has gone thru four different incarnations. The dealer installed a primary gear set/Malossi variator/Contra spring/19mm delorto carb, when the bike was brand new.
I installed a malossi sport cylinder, Technigas RS II pipe, delorto 28mm carb and de restricted CDI. That lasted 3 years, and 20k miles of daily driving
Next life was a 50mm Jiang wayne cylinder, and engine case porting, w/ a 24mm OKO flat slide carb, and Jiangwayne expansion pipe. another 6k miles in a year.
As it is now... Everything has been changed to make it a mile speed bike, and it easily reached 82MPH without being fully tunned. I only have 32 miles on it since that build.
Point is the bike has gone thru hell, and looks/runs better than the day it was assembled in Taiwan. Still on the original engine cases, and rolling chassis.

I don't really believe this bike will ever be done. I have passed up several purchase offers because I will not sell it to anyone that does not realize what it is, and what it takes to keep it running. 20 years from now I hope my grand kid can show it off to his kids.
