New owner of a Roughhouse..a new (leftover) 2015
I had a 2009 kymco People 150..but decided to go smaller and use locally.
It has been raining, so haven't had a lot of chance to use it, since I got it a couple days ago. I did however, manage to take the odometer from 2 miles to 13 miles. It is not de-restricted yet, but will get it done later on in the break in period. So far I am very pleased with the scooter..
BTW: New to forum also..this is my first post.

You're going to love it a lot more when the washer in the header is removed and the spacer in the variator
50 motorcycles and scooters from age 16 to 67. Loved every one but always had to sell one to buy the next, damn shame of economics. After spine surgery it's been all scooters. The light weight and CVT transmissions will let me ride as long as I breathe

Well, I've exceeded the 67 years by a bit...I will be 81 in September. I have inched the miles up to 35 today, and I am very pleased with the scooter and it's performance with one caveat...hill climbing. Of course, I weigh about 200, but still I would like a bit more on the hills. I am in hopes that when I get it derestricted, it will gain some. Am I wrong in hoping for better hill climbing when it is derestricted ?

Got you beat by 3 years. I'll be 84 in early September. Derestricted you'll do an honest 40 mph on the flats. Hill climbing ability is actually quite good. I live in a hilly south Seattle neighborhood and I'm able to scoot up the hills without a problem. But, you'll like your scooter a lot more if you get it derestricted now. No need to wait for it to be broken in. Start enjoying it now.dusty roads wrote:Well, I've exceeded the 67 years by a bit...I will be 81 in September.
