Your VIN part of the recall then?
Check line fitting at the gas tank. Some were not tightened sufficiently - Fix is to tighten sufficiently
That's a good valve check video - (no need to remove battery - just cover with a heavy cloth/towel)
>Best plug I've used in my 2013 LIKE200i is the NGK CR7-X Iridium (worked better for me than the equivalent Denso Iridium for some reason)
>First time belt cover off can be a bear! There are pry points - rear one is best tapped from muffler side though wheel spokes.
>Using 18/14 -14g Dr Pulley sliders - the 13g raised my cruise RPM's too much for my liking.
>While you're down there - empty the puke tube.
>Airfilters in MY area last forever - air tube pick-up end is in a very protected area in the bodywork apparently.
>Always used stock Kymco belt for the LIKE - perfect fit and long life.
>15/40 oil should be just great for Calif. SHELL Rotella T-6 15/40
>Swap out the gear oil.
>With a flash light, check for light amber brake fluid in the reservoir windows.
>LIKE is not a soft riding scooter - so use recommended PSI - esp in the front! But you can change the rear preloads for some help.
>Remove the oil screen thing once to dump whatever you find - after that maybe once a year at the most. Most of us
never see much in there after the first service. Never overtighten this cap! Snug is good unless you go below 500m in the sea.
> Specs for plug and valve gap should be on sticker under the seat.
>Birth certificate is found under bodywork, above muffler - need a flashlight and lay on your back.
>Buff the clutch pads if you've a pull-away chatter - then be a little more assertive when moving off after that to keep chatter away. Mine is butter smooth.
> A 12Ah and a 14Ah YUASA battery will fit if you trim 5mm off of the hold-down posts on underside of battery cover. See YUASA charts to match your battery's width & length size.
>Starts should be nearly instantaneous using no throttle with a healthy battery.
>Just for the halibut I use only premium fuel (Shell nitro 93)
>Since you (she?) likely will not be riding in the wet - the stock tires are probably OK. I rain ride & swapped them out after 400 miles for City Grips.
>Valve adjustments are very easy, compared to many scooters. (Battery cover off, seat/bucket unit out, center panel popped off, viewing cap off right side of engine - rotate to proper position and
FEEL slight movement in rockers. Best not to proceed if you don't feel slight movement in both!
www.cyclepedia.com sells a pretty good online manual (and or a book) These folks make the manuals for KymcoUSA.
