Buying OEM parts...

[Stig / Major Tom]

Yes, want dealer phone numbers to contact their parts desk?
Go to kymcousa.com, "dealer search", tell it you live in Denver, ,NYC, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland,  or Miami, etc....search dealers within 100 miles of that city.
Go to those dealer web sites, use phone numbers, give parts desk a call, or use their parts/prices diagrams and order your parts.
At least 2 of the dealers listed in "General Discussion "sticky list phone numbers.
A couple of phone calls should give you what you want.
You can do this from any country. I go to piaggio.it to find scooter dealers in Italy.

I think I've mentioned this before, but this method ONLY works within the USA.  Are you able to provide the same for those of us OUTSIDE the USA? 

All we need is a phone number, nothing else, no website, etc.

Kymco websites are regional & don't allow access for foreigners.

Phoning Kymco will yield a website that crosses borders.  But to do this, we need a phone number which only this forum knows.

Thanks!

Two of us have asked what country you live so that we could help you. You have yet to do that. BTW, there is no reason for you to call any Kymco distributor. If you simply call a dealer for whatever you need, they can help you. I’m not sure what you want.

You'll be glad to know I'm making progress!  It appears that my Kymco Sento 100 has a Kawasaki KFX100 ATV engine, so with that info, I'm able to find some basic parts (starter, clutch, belts, variator, etc) from my local Kawasaki dealer.  My next challenge is that my Kymco has a Kymco-brand carburetor.   Similar to a Keihin, but not exactly.  The Kawasaki ATV has a Kawasaki carb, totally different again, not much use.  FWIW, the Kymco 100cc is not a bored out 50cc, it's a different engine with a "silent" starter.

With a 150cc Kawasaki Big Bore Kit, I should be able to outrun the 150cc Ruckus crowd! 

I appreciate everyone's help. I think we're making progress in finding parts.

Your local dealer parts counterman may be your best bet if you're within the USA.

it looks like on line is the way to go.

That's the way that works best for me.  Just put the part # into your search bar and all kinds of choices pop up.  I needed a front brake caliper last month, none to be found anywhere in the western world, so I gave it to Google and a brand-new caliper popped up on my screen for $22.  It was on the other side of the world, and arrived a week later on my doorstep. Shipping was an extra $24, and the total was $46.  Quite excellent!  So, yes, online is the way to go.

 I just bought a '23 Kymco People S 150. Is there a good online source for OEM parts like air filter or drive belt?

always been my go to. however I don't visit the parts dept as much as the service dept. and my local dealer service dept ain't afraid to use non oem parts when there are availability problems (specifically aftermarket ball joints for my UXV450i) and they installed the Zongshen 190cc engine in my K-Pipe for me
