Hi, I'm currently riding an X9 and was looking around for other scooters to replace my ride when the COE expires. From what I've read, the downtown 300 has FC of 32-34 km/l? How about the downtown 125, any riders can feedback about the FC and pick up? I like to travel at 90 on my X9, would like to be at that speed on my next scooter as well.

 

If anyone has done a full servicing or knows how much Motor Sports quotes for full servicing, could you share the cost as well?

Bro,

What bike u changing to now? Yr bike is super familiar, saw it couple of time. Ups for your sales.

[MR.ROBERT YU]

no plan to change new bike yet , i am too busy with my travel ,, so i like to sell it .. present mileage is 18,900km .

[extasy]

Any idea how to reset the light that reminds you to service e bike?

[MR.ROBERT YU]

it is automatic that was already set in the factory . oil change is at 5000km interval. i change every 2000km instead of 5k.

[MR.ROBERT YU]

hi , fyi , motor sport have a lower seat for downtown which is very good for short legs . check it out from the HERBERT ( THE BOSS)

[paithorn]

Anytime, stRobe.

 

Just finished my virgin tank of fuel... few observations :

Good FC of 384km travelled with 11.78 litres of fuel. SO comes to around 32.5km per litre of fuel burnt.

Design flaw. The last bar of fuel, the fuel indicator will be flashing. Very irritating to ride with something flashing on the dashboard. I noticed there is already another low fuel light on the speedometer. Thought that shd trigger the flashing fuel indicator instead.

 

Rick_vam, confirm your Exciting is the same?

 

Just pumped petrol, Esso 95 11.5 litres clocked 384km.

Bike is on mineral oil from Kymco agent and 4000km on the clocks.

50% of time 2UP. Riding speed range 80-120kmh Singapore road. Ahead after traffic lights.

 

 

FC works out to more than 33km per litre, Not too bad at all.

300cc belt is thicker in size and can last longer than 125cc belt, more expensive though.

[paithorn]

how much is the 125cc's belt? 300s is $269

[MR.ROBERT YU]

bike already sold to a nice gentleman. thank you .

[cheeko]

My tmax 500 belt cost $120.

wa i thought the jap are more ex. it surprising

[Hazmat_83]

This is the main reason that keeps me from buying Kymco, though I really really love the Downtown 300. It is always bad for customers/potential customers when things get sold through an "exclusive" dealer, as they can virtually do what they want with the prices. I hope they open up the SG market in the future, and I'll be sure to get a bike from them.

[MR.ROBERT YU]

i have been using Kymco bikes for the past 3 years . bikes i own before is a 300cc exciting and the 300cc downtown ( which i sold to a silverwing owner) both bikes did not give me any problem and they perform wonderfully.! At present , i am looking forward to buy the new 700cc myroad !

my experience with Motor Sport ( the DISTRIBUTOR of KYMCO SCOOTER) do not have any problem as their mechanic are all friendly , the boss Herbert is a nice and easy guy who are very friendly and can discuss any kymco SCOOTER & SPARE PARTS issue. All of us scooter rider is always concern about spare parts,which is a nightmare if we dont have them here . I do have spare parts change , but not a problem with Kymco bikes , they are easily available. Well guys, not to talk good things about them here, check it out with HERBERT, he is a better person to clear your doubt . HAPPY SCOOTERING !!!

[Rick_vam]

The spares are always available provided that yr servicing is done at the authorised dealer. If one day u decided to change workshop due to watever reason, then that "always ready" spares will not come so easily.

 

Agreed with hazmat, should avoid "exclusive" dealer.

[ggc9898]

the salesman at MS is also nice. i went down last week. talk talk. and see the DT300i.

NICE bike!!

very tempting. my mrs also like since the seat is sooooo Bigggggg.

 

But my bike they did not take in. saying maybe hard to sell. plus the trade in price they 1st quote is too low.

i will lose until pants drop. ha ha

[ggc9898]

sincerely seeking downtown riders advice on the maintence issue of DT300i.

 

i was talking with my fren who is riding a piaggio 400cc

he say his service is 350++ ( this is very ex for me i dare not italian bike)

i wonder how much will kymco be. if the service is minor change (engine oil+ filter+spark plug+ air filter) i not scared. i scared the tranmission full service belt+roller+ dunno wat else must change)

i nvr ride scooter b4.

 

can the seniors pls comment.

 

 

 

thank you

[MR.ROBERT YU]
