Any chance you can share the information on how the mount work for your trunk on the Kymco fender? I have a new to me B&W250 and your videos have been most useful. so thank you
I wouldn't Suggest Adjusting the idle on a Cold Engine . You suppose to wait until the Engine is at Normal Operating Temp. then Adjust you Idle screw. Usually its around 1500rpm for most Motorcycles, & Scooters. By the way, i really Enjoy your content. I Myself Own a 2016 Kymco People GTi 300 Since New, really Enjoy it. th-cam.com/video/hZrKc6sFH40/w-d-xo.html
You’re supposed to turn it in the regular rotation the engine runs in. Unfortunately I can’t remember, but if you touch the starter button you can observe which direction it turns.
Hi Tom, thanks for the primer on valves. I have a 2005 People 250 (same engine) that I'm very attached to. I've just encountered a problem I thought you might be familiar with: Starts immediately, runs fast on the choke, idles down, hiccups and stalls. I've adjusted the idle and throttle stop screws for a bit higher idle but I can still hear and feel the hiccups at lower rpms and there can be a bit of throttle delay on take off. I planned to clean the carb next. Any ideas?
Tried to hit you up on your contact button in the About section of your channel. Didn't work. Shoot me an email desertmotoproductions@gmail.com. I have some evil plans. Maybe you might want to join.
azdesertdog Kymco is from Taiwan, supposed to be a bit better quality than Chinese scoots. I’m pleased with it, hadn’t planned to keep it but it’s darn fun. You’re the second person that has had contact issues. Will be in touch.
Alan sterling we only pay the highest gas taxes in the nation, surely can’t expect good streets when the funds get diverted to other things. If you worried about your health as much as you worry about my deck, you would be Mr Olympia. 😂
I'm Colombian and I have a Kymco bet&win 250cc, 2006.
I like it very much!!!
Yeah, it’s a good machine. I sold mine not too long ago, miss it.
Thanks for the adjustment video. Just what I was looking for!
Glad to help, keep the Kymco running strong!

Daddy Dutch BBQ on an engine this easy, valve adjustment isn’t bad. My favorite helmet too!
Thanks for the vid. I can adjust my valves now
Moon Boy it’s not too difficult, good luck and ride safe!

I don’t have the scooter anymore, but if I remember correctly It had a luggage rack.
Those scooters are fast. I witnessed a Harley following that specific scooter.
🛵💨💨💨🏍
They both made it where they were supposed to go. Sure wanna get one of those shakes next time.
Tom's Tinkering and Adventures let’s get one today. 🥤🥶
Robert Roy it’s so San Diego cold, I already got the shakes.
Tom's Tinkering and Adventures climate change. San Diego isn’t made for 60° weather. Looks like the people in Cali is going to freeze soon. 🥶

thanks need to do that to my 2007 people s 250
@@generalpattonpending7256 hopefully it’s a similar engine, Kymco made so many different models and I can’t keep up with all of them.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures it looks the same but you showed how to get the job done thanks Tom
Bonjour comment faire pour démarrer un kymco dink 200i
My French isn’t great, but I think you want to know how to start a Kymco 200? I’m not familiar with that model scooter, sorry.
Pozdrav, da li je isti Agregat kao kod kymco grand dink 250?
I’m not sure, but chances are good that the engine is similar.
Hello, for kymco xciting 250cc 2007 , how much valve set?
No idea, I don’t have a manual for that scooter. Look on the frame and bodywork, sometimes that information is on a sticker.
Does it matter if you turn the flywheel clockwise or counterclockwise to line up the “T”
You’re supposed to turn it in the regular rotation the engine runs in. Unfortunately I can’t remember, but if you touch the starter button you can observe which direction it turns.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures you turn clockwise

It sounds like carburetor issues to me. Check that fuel filter as well! The People 250 is a good scooter, I like the bigger wheels.
Thanks Tom. Fuel filter next, then cleaning the carb. Kymco doesn't make any large wheeled scooters any more; disappointing!
What do you thing of the Kymco vs the Chinese scooters? I almost bought a Kymco ATVa few years ago.

Hey I recognized one of those bikes !
I'm gonna have to bring a different one out.
when is your city gonna repave your street? And I see your deck (pile of firewood) is still standing.

that's hilarious!
I got a 150cc 2007 same brand you know where I can get simple parts for it shipped to Canada?
I have no idea, parts are getting more difficult for these.
