Here are a few pics of P250S and Agility 125 I took this afternoon to illustrate poor quality of some "peripheral" parts.
P250 is exactly one year old (this thread was started in Feb 2009). Agility is two yrs old.
P250 = 8400 km A125=14000 km.
Both scoots are driven year round and they are washed with miniwash at least once every two weeks and then inspected, lubed with grease in spray and treated with WD40.
I live in mild climate area with snow between zero and five days per year.
Most of the corrosion you will notice occured during one or two days the salt was used on the roads in December and January and before it melted and I had the opportunity to wash the scoot.
There is some strange internal friction between windshield and the plastic part that resulted in peeled appearance of the screen itself.
The engine and variator alu casings are of poor quality and aluminum corrosion can be spotted. Most of the nuts and bolts have started rusting, so are many metal parts.
On Agility, rear spring started rusting after a few months, on People,rear shocks have started rusting under the chrome finishing.
This is expected on "mailand China" scoots and not Kymco. I had similar issues with Italian scooters with one difference: it started slowly after 4-5 years and not after 4-5 months like with Kymco...
