UPDATED AFTER RECEIVING THIS REPLY FROM KYMCO USA TODAY:
"Yes, warranty is transferable.
The new Owner would need to supply KYMCO USA with:
Copy of a bill of sale
New Owner Name, Address & Phone #VIN
Once received, we would change the warranty registration information in our system. Any KYMCO dealer (the only ones who can get reimbursed for warranty work) would pull up the warranty registration/owner information based on the VIN."

Original post: Seems a lot of folks have not read their warranty papers which came with the scooter packet in the USA.
I don't know about other countries, but the KYMCO factory warranty on scooters sold in the U.S.A. reads:
To the original owner:
All parts and labor for the first 365 days.
Engine and electrical parts and repair labor for the first 540 days.
Engine parts and repair labor are covered for 730 days.
There is also a warranty on emission control systems by old Kwang Yang Motor Co., LTD - which makes for good reading in the loo.
What is Not covered is:
A whole bunch of stuff that a smart owner would not do while their vehicle is otherwise under warranty.
This 2 year warranty is one of the factors that sold me on my Kymco purchase - and after 5000 miles and 13 months I have found it to be a very well made scooter. (knock on wood)
