Hello forum community, I was looking for a used, small, agile 50s scooter in retro look, with low seat height, low weight and 4-stroke engine for my wife. A row ding dang 2-stroker with blue flag and chainsaws noise was out of the question. He should be quiet, start well, have a reasonable helmet compartment and be easily accessible for maintenance. There was only the SYM Mio 50 or the Kymco New Sento 50i in question. The SYM Mio was not offered as a used in our region at all. And with the Kymco it looked hardly better. Also with the dealers there was nothing. Then, however, I came across a private sales advertisement of a Kymco New Sento 50i. Color light blue metallic. A pensioner had bought the middle of 2014 new and since then he only stood 1 1⁄2 years only in the garage, was driven practically only by the dealer home. I bought the scooter at the bargain price, including topcase and luggage carrier, but the battery was weak. During the test drive he did not pull the sausage From the plate. From 0-40 Km/h (according to Tacho 45 Km/h) took an eternity, over 11 seconds. Finally it came then to 50 Km/h. I thought, well, enough for the city and for shopping. Besides, the engine has not yet entered. I had then charged the battery and at the gas station increased the air pressure of the tires. Then the tank with Aral Ultimate super filled. After that it ran clearly better and came according to Tacho to 55 Km/h. Until the 500 Km inspection were still 400 Km, which should have been carried out 6 months after the handover inspection after checkbook. Although still in the warranty, this is forfeited because of the coating. I have now carried out the 500 km inspection myself, oil change, oil sieve clean, final drive oil change, check spark plug, adjust valves, brake and gas pull, pull all screws, check fork, light check. The whole thing is very easy. With few screws the Helmfac can be checked h remove. Only for the valve setting a panel in front of the seat is better to remove as well as the housing for the fan wheel on the right side of the engine. I then checked the Vario rollers and the belt after checkbook specification. However, I noticed the sliding bushing because it has a waistband with 4.2 mm thickness. The drive belt also left only running tracks up to half of the washers. I changed this and at the same time the Vario rollers against Dr. Pulle y SR-weights replaced. Last but not least, I wanted to check the full throttle position on the throttle valve housing. To do this, I removed the rubber suction hose of the air filter on the throttle valve housing and looked at the position of the throttle valve with a mirror and flashlight. At full throttle position on the throttle handle, the throttle valve only half opened. That was also the main reason why the scooter took so long from 0-40 km/h. So I just corrected the stop screw for the throttle valve stop. So the throttle valve can now open fully. Now the scooter runs as I imagined. From 0-50 km/h it is reached very quickly. Car traffic is not hindered during the acceleration. The limiter does not insert and also on the mountain the speed falls hardly. This is all very quiet and at moderate speeds. If necessary now is also beyond Tacho 50 still acceleration At Tacho 70 on a level road, it is then over. On a slope, there is probably more, because the limiter does not use, which also the Pulley ́s enable. The small injection engine runs like a clockwork and always starts immediately. I drove with full tank 225 km and had to refuel only 4.5 liters. The last beam segment of the tank indicator was at the blinking. This corresponds to a consumption of 2.0 liters to 100 km. So the 5.5 liter tank volume would have to be good for approx. 270 km. Unfortunately, there are hardly any accessories on the German market of Kymco for this scooter, except for the luggage carrier and topcase. However, at Kymco in Holland, where I found it, I had upgraded the scooter with a chromed headlight ring (like the Vespa), a small windshield, a chrome ring for the tank cover, a chrome trim for the air filter and an exhaust hood in chrome. news The prices, however, are a lot cheaper for NL internet providers than for Kymco. Maybe I set a few pictures from the scooter. Overall, this scooter is a snug, the light is good, there is a sonorous blinker tacker and the storage space is also OK. It is very agile and light, the brakes also slow enough for this vehicle class. The suspension has to compensate what the small 10 inch wheels pass on to the chassis. At least the rear suspension leg is adjustable. For normal road surfaces, the ride comfort of this small scooter is quite decent. Due to the low weight and the small 10 inch wheels, the scooter initially seems a bit tilty, but you can get used to it. In any case, driving with this scooter, although only a 50s, is a lot of fun, especially if the engine is as lively as it is now. It is not necessary to use the full throttle to swim along in urban traffic. Also the workmanship is carefully and with a lot of love designed. What does not like is the side stand, since it collapses on its own again and has no ignition breaker. Thus, the scooter is only partially safe. There is a set with onboard tool missing. The operating instructions are very poor and partly faulty. The change of the HS1 headlight bulb is somewhat cumbersome. For 2-person operation a little short, despite The result: a small, light and agile scooter for the city and the work path, fell driving pleasure, good ergonomics for small as well as larger people, because the bench is not graded, potent and quiet 3-valve injection engine with low consumption and low speed level, but still good passage also on the mountain. As a new vehicle, however, Kymco also demands a self-confident price for d In the colour light blue metallic a valuable appearance. Too bad that it is so rare to see on the roads. Used an absolute recommendation. Comparative value acceleration: 0-40 Km/h (with speedometer 45) 7,5 sec. driver 95 Kg, full fueled greeting Sympat
