thank you sir! "go out there and find your adventure" It's all I need!!👍🇦🇷
Everyone has an adventure to live, get it!
Those Kymco scooters so underappreciated. Their design and build quality is 99% of a Japanese scooter, but at 2/3 the price, especially after about 2014 IMHO. They just need to do a better job of naming them.
Haha, they definitely had some odd names! I recommend Kymco to anyone looking for a decent cheaper scooter.
Thanks for the video! Show a radiator flush
@@Mark-pl8my I have not had this scooter for a long time, sold it!
Metric to Imperial conversions are easy if you just remember two things. One fluid ounce is 30 ml/cc and one ounce of weight is 28.3 grams. If you write it on the wall behind your workbench, you'll always have it.
Probably not a bad idea. The online conversion deal works great though.
True, but if you write it on the wall you can use it when your hands are covered in grease and grime. Just my 2 cents worth.@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures
You explained it well mate thank you
Hope it helped, thanks for watching.
Great video, just picked up a Grand Vista 250 that needs some love. Nice garage and bikes.
Paul Lucas I’m still enjoying this scooter, but been considering selling it just because I have too much stuff. Hard to get rid of it, such a nice machine!
My moms had a grand vista for years. I just finally got one used. Im so exited they are really good quality scooters
new subscribe!! thank you sir!
Thank you!
Спасибо!!! Всё ясно и понятно!!! 👍👍👍👋👋👋
You're welcome, glad to help!
Great video!
Can you show how to take the front panel off to access the seat cord? I closed my keys in the seat!
If I still had the scooter I would. It’s been sold for a few years!
Recommend to remove fill first on gear box but 👍 great!
Eric Thomas great tip, I always forget to mention that on my videos!
Great video, Tom. May you tell me the name or the link of the maintenance manual that you have read in the video? Thank you very much. Regards.
Ethan Hernández I think it’s a factory service manual? I got it with the scooter.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Maybe... I have bought my scooter by second hand so I think that I wont have the factory manual... I will follow your steps at the video, its very usefull. Thank you for all, Tom, best regards and merry christmas!
Ethan Hernández thank you, Happy New Year. If you need any information hit me up.
Update on my 150cc. Has spark. I cleaned the carb thoroughly. Changed antifreeze, oil. Air, has compression. Still will not start even with carb cleaner:/
Sounds like you need to do a bunch of verification. I would start with cam timing, valve clearance, etc. Is the exhaust installed? I have had bikes that don’t want to run without exhaust.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Randomly started to run like new lol? Would it be okay to put 10w30 in the bike? All I have laying around if not i will go and just purchase the 15w 40. Thanks for all your help
@@spencergaines5127 well I guess that’s good! It will probably be fine with the oil you have.
How do I do the coolant, no information out there for this model
I don’t have this scooter anymore, can’t remember the process for checking or filling the coolant…sorry!
Hey Tom, do you know how to reset the dash clock to 12hr time reference instead of 24hr designation? I have the same exact scooter.
If I remember correctly, you just scroll through the 24 hour time and it goes to am/pm.
Great video Tom! Can you tell me which brake oil you was using ?DOT 3,4,5..? Thanks..
DOT 4 likely, but I may have used DOT 3. They are compatible
That being said, you should use whatever is called for in the manual! I sometimes give incorrect information so always check. 😀
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thank you.I dont have a manual so you and this clip helps a lot..Greetings
@@aleksandar2351 most of the time it says on the master cylinder cap which fluid to use. Mine says “Use DOT 3 or DOT4” so I was correct!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures one more question if i can ask..which antifreeze should i pour? Is there any diferences i only know that there is some blue and red..mine is blue but can be g 11 g 12 ..how can i know which one is?👋from Serbia
I picked up a Kymco Grand Vista 250 that has a "shudder" as it accelerates. I didn't know if it was "normal" for the scooter or not. Then, I saw another CZcams video where a lady is reviewing her Grand Vista and she mentioned that she has a shudder, too. Do you have any idea what could be causing that shudder? Could the rollers and/or clutches in the CVT need cleaning and greasing? Or, is that a normal operation for the type of transmission in a scooter? Do ya wanna know something odd about this scooter? When I get over 40 mph on my Yamaha XV535 motorcycle, I've got a death grip on the handlbars. But, I can run the Grand Vista scooter up around 70 or 80 mph and feel perfectly at ease. I still can't figure out why I'm scared on the bike but so comfortable on the scooter.
Mystery47 my scooter does have a low speed shudder as well. I took apart the front and rear sheaves but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Pretty good machine overall.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures -Well that's a relief knowing others are encountering the same "problem". Apparently it's the nature of the CVT beast. For awhile it had me scared that a wheel was coming off but when I checked everything was tight. I guess I can relax more now that I know it's not going to kill me. This Winter I will clean and lube those sliding parts on the CVT, though. Thanks for the quick response.
How do I set the dash clock to 12hr instead of 24hr format?
Well I tried to figure it out, I don’t know. I don’t mind 24 hr (military time) so it works for me.

Thats not fuel injected. I have a kymco 250 same motor and its fuel injected.
Correct, it’s carbureted.
