I get engine code 01 and 10 only after I have tried to start the engine with the sidestand down. When I retract it and start the engine the code appears.

Seems to me you need to read your post before posting it. You said you get the code with the side stand down or up but attempted to say it only happens with it down. Hmm you make no sense. This is why I'm looking for a different make of scooter next time. Kymco is called quality but it really isnt. If you bought a brand new car that threw codes for a different car you'd call the car junk but Kymcos seem to be all about things like that. Hell even a parts supplier came on these forums to bash kymco and its customers and say he's about to wash his hands of kymco. I like that my chinese kymco was so cheap but otherwise it was engineered and designed by people who dont seem concerned about customer feed back. Although to the credit of the chinese my Like is better built than my PGO I used to have. Good luck with your DT. Round here only people over the age of 60 buy maxi scooters. Every other person has the sense to buy a used motorcycle for less and get a motor that is at least twice the size. Even I am considering the Honda motorcycle with the automatic shifting six speed tranny. It is seven grand brand new, you'd have to pay three grand more for the kymco of the same motor size. Storage space AKA unused empty space isnt worth three grand. And Im willing to bet Honda's motor and tranny are far better.

Heh.. Ok, I'll bite..

We have a saying in my country - "To read like the devil reads the Bible"

This is how I get the engine code:

- Sidestand down
- Try to start the engine - which fails obviously
- Retract sidestand
- Start the engine
- Code 01 or 10 appears on the display.

I am very sorry if I failed to communicate this in a way that pleased your eyes and brain.

For some reason I get the feeling you are trying to insult me by saying only old people ride maxi scooters. You would have to try a bit harder. Since it seems such a big deal what other people ride I would venture to believe you are about 15 years old. I feel bad for you if you really think that Taiwan is a part of China, but perhaps every scooter made in Asia is Chinese...?
But I am glad to hear my non problem makes you want to buy a different scooter. Perhaps a Honda made in Thailand?

Neo clearly does not know S#@&. And since he doesn't know jack he needs to belittle people to make up for his lack of manhood. If he dosn't like Kymco then move on and leave us alone. Kymco is also supplying the engines to the BMW scooters and making Kawasaki scooters among other bikes so I think they know what they are doing.

Perhaps we should get this thread back on topic. It's not worthwhile to get ruffled over one person's comments about a wholly different and possibly personal issue.

I agree. I will refrain from feeding an internet troll.

On the note of the engine code, I would think it is more of a notification. I get the code consistently after I have tried to start the engine with the sidestand down. Start the engine with sidestand up to begin with - no code.

I have removed my posts. I am sorry for being a source of negativity. It wasnt in the spirit of these forums.

Neo BUDDY!!! Give em' hell mate!

I have to say I do not understand the intent of the original question... You ARE getting a code for the kick stand. BUT it happens After the bike fails to start... It is not an early warning system but a reactionary system that tells AFTER it detects an issue. Kymco leaves putting the kickstand up to people... Not computers

The code will appear to verify the stand WAS down and set your heart at ease so as not to think it was another issue.
If you had a no start followed by a good start and it was say a bad TPS then you would want to see that code right? Problem is you will NOT see that code until AFTER it fails.

The way the cheap arse bike was designed is the way it is working. I'd be happy to know that, and not attempt to but the bike in the BMW class which by the way will respond exactly the same with troubleshooting codes.

I say it all the time... They are CHEAP BIKES> Not the Maxi's for sure but the quality is the same as any Maxi' built in China. Which IS where they are built.

Hey guys. Every once in awhile I get will get , engine icon and code 10. I've contacted KymcoUSA and they requested a picture. Snapped a pic and sent it to them. They never got back to me. Now , this morning, I saw engine icon w/ 01 code. Any idea, what that is?

Both code 01 and 10 are meaningless on American Downtowns and GT300s. They both seem to randomly appear. They may be associated with the TPMS which we do not have. I constantly get them. Ignore.

Ok, thanks. I've seen a bunch of posts and it seems that different riders on different models, are getting the same codes.I did the throttle reset, and I haven't seen either code since. I'll just keep an eye out and do my regular maintenance checks.

I got the code when I turned the ignition on with the kickstand down. It went away and had no effect on the bike.
