Same thing I went through. Kymco Canada is having real problems this year and they keep blaming every delay on the floods in Manitoba. They were 2 months late with mine if you remember.

Ok, she has arrived! Pickup is expected to happen this Saturday  ;D

Just planned my ride home, since I'm not allowed on the HW yet with my M1 license.
It's going to be a fun ride.  I actually don't mind having to avoid the HW. Gives me more time to enjoy Oolky.

I also signed up for my M2 / Safety training. A whole weekend riding bikes!

Summer is shaping up to be great  8)

Keep it safe!

Oolky is home ;D
Got the first 70 km on her today.
It was a blast. I haven't forgotten how to ride :)
Had to get used to the throttle of course and was pleasantly surprised that the CVT gives good drive connection and let you break on the engine.

I looked at the lights and they do look quite yellow, I guess that's what happens when you have the LED's to compare them against.
Will have to wait till the fall to see how they perform.

Did some maneuvering in the parking lot and she is less nimble then I anticipated. I'm not complaining though, because it's probably why she handles well in windy conditions. Then again I did not go beyond 100 kmh yet.

Happy scootin  8)

Love the colour! Kymco UK only supply white, which is a shame...

Yes it's a very nice orange. Just wish what the colour code was, I already need to do a  touch-up.  :'(
Dealer said someone was to come over from Taiwan shorly and would ask to bring some paint.
Hope that works out.  ::)

I got my Bestem case and will paint the mount in the same pewter colour as the grab bar.
Just checked the local Canadian Tire and it's a toss-up between GM Drk Bronzemist Met. and Nissan Pewter Met. (I probably will go with the latter onel)
Once painted I'll show some picktures.

Have only 838 km on it, and only once got her up to 120 km/h.
Have not tested the top speed yet.
Enjoyed every km so far  8)

You have chips or like rubs? I somehow got a couple of black rubs, I found with a no scratch dish scrubby sponge I was able to gently rub them off with mild soap and water. Of course do this at your own risk.

It would be nice however if Kymco made it easy to order replacement tupperware. I can always wish.................

Really! I imagined that this would be no problem.
When I enquired at my local dealer, (Stroud, England), before I even bought the bike, he said there wasn't anythign that he couldn't get, but it may take a few weeks in the case of some parts......

That may be true. I mean like a web site we could go to, a direct from Kymco, that could offer all, including tupperware, OEM parts etc. The bikes are new so parts should not be an issue, but a stock pile we could directly order from and get imediate shipping would be just awesome.............

Edit; as an example the oil cap became loos on my bike. If it fell off and got damaged it would be great to be able to just click and order a new one............
