Just happened to be reading this post and thought I'd chime in. I just bought a new (2012) Kymco People GTI300. On page 28 of my owners manual it states "Use a full synthetic quality 4-stroke engine oil to ensure longer service life of your scooter. Only use oils that have a SJ rating above per the API service classification". I live in Central New York and use full synthetic 10-40 in the motor, and full synthetic 75-90 in the transmission.

It's been pretty cold the last couple of days, I went ahead and tuffed it out long enough to check the oil in the engine (cold). At 28F, it's the consistency of jelly if you were to stir/chop it up with a spoon in the jar. What's up with that? I will certainly be changing that out, before taking the bike out for any more joy rides. I would suggest you use a full synthetic oil if you ride in that kind of weather. |

You might use some Blue locktite on the threads also.

Suggest all members put their location in their profiles. Could be a great way to meet local folks to ride with. I justed joined and have already heard from a guy in my area. He's only the third person I know around here with a scooter. Hope to meet a few more to ride with.

Glad to hear from a local. I won't pick up the new scoot till April (it's at dealer in Rochester) Got a windshield and new top box to install, then I'll do pictures. Stay in touch. I'm a do-it yourselfer with tools, a heated garage and a new Harbor Freight scooter lift. Be glad to help you out with routine maintenance and mods if you want help.

My name is Mike Haggerty and I live in Syracuse, NY. I'm 69 years old and retired. I bought my first bike (Harley FXSTD)) at age 56. Last June I decided that 643lbs was a little too much for me to handle. I sold the Harley and bought a Kymco People 150. I absolutely LOVED it and rode it all summer and fall. The only downside was the low (58-60) top speed. Some of my commute is on interstate highways and that got tricky at times at 60mph. This fall I sold the 150 and bought a new Kymco People GTI300. I haven't been able to ride it yet, but I think it will be ideal for me. I look foreward to getting some good info and maybe meeting some local folks to ride with through this forum.
Update-- Have 300 miles on scooter and lovin it.
