I forgot to mention that helmets should fit properly.
Granted that it is your choice, but think of the consequences and if you are prepared to live with that, if you survive. You and those around you. Death, disfigurement, amputation, pain for life, brain damage, loss of income, broken relationship, etc. are possibilities and are generally permanent.

Silly question - has the exhaust been tightened properly?
My suggestion is to lift someone while riding and let them hold a piece of hose pipe to their ear and listen while directing it in different areas in the direction of the noise. Hope this makes sense. I used to listen for air leaks on motors or engine noises using that method.

...Once using synthetic you cannot go back to normal oil. ... Just wondering why not? >'Kat I don't suggest it because in researching it I found that half the pro's were for it and half against. There were quite a few people that damaged motors due to mixing mineral and synthetic. I suppose you can drain off the synthetic and go back to mineral, but I prefer the fact that synthetic is a superior oil, so I won't go back. Some expensive vehicle brands insist that only synthetic be used. Some engine rebuilders hate doing motors that have had additives or synthetic in as they are harder to bore and hone due to the slippery lubes. |

I use synthetic in my Sym. I have read that Chinese scooters should not use synthetic oil as it messes up the seals. Synthetic should only be used after a scooter has around 2500 - 3000 miles. Once using synthetic you cannot go back to normal oil. Unless specified, Synthetic oil shouldn't be used with a wet clutch system.

For those that don't know:
Kymco is a great scooter brand. Kymco have to be going something right if BMW and Kawasaki use them to manufacture their motors. BMW 450, 650 & i3 Hybrid, as well as the Kawasaki J300 scooter. They used to be part of Honda until they split.

If my foot looked that bad I would just have to cut it off...imagine if it was his face,,that would really $uck! No helmet, novelty 'helmets' or open-face helmets will do that. |

@ oldchopperguy You are right - it must be an 'old geezer' thing.  ? But then, you're old enough to play how you want. Looks cool and unique. Sent from my Lumia 1320 with Tapatalk |
