Like 150i?
« on: June 25, 2018, 02:06:41 AM »
Just purchased a 2018 Like 150i ABS and it is a great bike. I noticed there isn't a forum created yet for this scooter, any chance one could be?

I asked if that could be done when I purchased my Like 125 a couple of years ago and I did not even get a reply back.  Even if they changed the thread to include all Likes instead of just the 200i

It would be a welcome addition to this forum, especially since the 150i is a new model and one I'm sure many current  200i owners will strongly consider when it comes time to "re-up".

Welcome !
There is some argument that bundling all the  'big engined' LIKE's on a forum is of interest to owners as well.
In the mean time -as you may be the first 150i owner here - could you give us the particulars and your thoughts on this new scooter. How will you be using it ?
Which city?
Your buying experience - and your out the door price?
Thanks.

Sure!

- Commuter in the city, approximately 2-3 miles a day
- Portland, OR
- Buying experience was great, cost was:

$2599 - scooter
$337 - title/DMV
$220 - destination
$75 - documentation

We were looking at Buddy 125's as well as the Kymco. Kymco won out on features/price (specifically ABS, LED headlights (super bright)).

Any good resources for maintenance items/parts?  It seems like
most online parts catalogs don't have this scooter yet.  It seems like we might be in an amward stage of this cycle's introduction to the US market, not many of them out there.

Thanks!
Yeah, that awkward age!
Kymcopartsmonster.com  gets most of us parts for our rides....hopefully they'll  be stocking up.
You have a new to USA engine....so, you'll be responsible for cool maint. photos and DIY's and such!
Yeah, don't  drop it just yet.
Don't want to be a pest...but what does the maint. schedule look like for Kymco's new engine:
Oil change sched.? (is there a filter, or just the typical thimble screen)
Valve adj. sched.?
Belt life?

Photos if possible of your new LIKE150i !
Thanks again....some of us have been waiting two years for this 2nd generation LIKE to hit N. America. And that new LED headlight!!! The 200i's light uses faith in place of illumination!

Here are some shots of the new scooter:


Anyone have any idea how to get the service manual for this thing?  Google is not turning up much..

The service manual should have been under the seat when you purchased it along with the user manual.  The Like 150i that I looked at had them there.

Stig,
Here is a capture of the maint. schedule from the owners manual...I am planning on replacing the break-in oil @ ~100 miles with 15w-40 mineral oil.

It is pretty sad that Kymco has a very modern engine in this model and yet still insist on services every 2,000km or every three months.  Honda PCX is 4,000km and my new Piaggio is every 5,000km.  They will loose a lot of customers with this and it was the main reason I went with Piaggio and not the new 150i.  >:(

I believe that the service intervals printed in the Like 150i manual are incorrect according to Kymco Australia.  The intervals should be at every 3,000km and not at every 2,000km.  You might need to check with the US Kymco rep.
