People 50 Top Plastic Molding creaking?
« on: April 02, 2012, 02:55:54 PM »
Hi all,

I just recently purchased a new Kymco People 50cc LESS than a month ago...

I'm noticing with the warm weather that the plastic molding on top -- the whole painted top piece of plastic that extends out to the handlebars and what not (not sure what this piece of the body molding is called)-- is starting to creak when I'm riding slow or slowing down for a stop. Almost as if the plastic is expanding and compressing throughout the day as the temperature changes. It is quite annoying just because it is so new. It's not an extremely loud noise and I obviously can't hear it while I'm riding at a faster speed but it's extremely noticeable upon stopping or slowing down and going over bumps.

Has anyone else had this problem? Are there bolts from underneath that are possibly coming loose on this piece? Is there a bonding agent that may not be installed properly to hold the painted piece to the regular black plastic piece that surrounds the gauges and what not?

If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about or has had a similar issue PLEASE help me out. I'd love to know if this is solvable or if it's just something I'll have to live with.

Thanks

If you purchased it new a month ago it should still be under warrenty , let the dealer fix it . If that fails ask your therapist for a recommendation . Good luck .

Ok im sorry , I was just kidding . 2 stroke scooters are prone to a lot of vibrations and tend to be noisey . It is a good idea to check fittings , connections , screws , etc. more frequently . Good luck .

..could be loose fasteners...

..not to the point of it being loud and annoying..unless your roads are pure sh**...


...a trip to the dealer might be in order,,

..hope you gotta reputable dealer...some are not...

..every mod (action) necessitates a (reaction) mod..
