Pro tip. Instead of newspaper, use aluminum foil. Also, if you put it over the drain pan, you won't spill a single drip of oil over the wheel or ground.
@Bloeski's Wrecking Crew thank you for the video, clear and concrete ! I do have one question, just got a scoot (10-09-2017) and I don't know when previous owner change the oil all i know they did not ride it for 7 months and belt was changed 8000km ago. So far i am driving it for 100 km and it is tempting to change oil since i already got all filters, but my season ends in less than a month and it starts in April. Shoud i change it anyway and could i use it still for next season ?
I always change the oil at the end of the riding season. Then in spring it is ready to go. Also the engine is not left sitting for an extended period of time with dirty oil in it.....Thanks for watching.
how wide is your rear tyre?... btw i never even saw 5/50 oil and even specialised kymco service in my country doesnt use it, it uses some quality 5/40 or 10/40
mathew apostle I just used paper towels. If there would have been debris in the filter then I would have used varsol or kerosene to clean out the debris.
Thanks for the good video. I no longer have a Kymco deal in my area. I have a kymco xtown 300i, you happen to know if the steps/locations are similar? Is there a place to order the filters ? I called a few jobs in my area and they just said they couldn't order anything from Kymco without being an authorized dealership :(
I am not sure if the bike you have uses the same engine or not. For the filter try looking on Amazon or at bike shops on the internet. You should be able to send for the filter from many places......Thanks for watching.
nice one...i always change my scooter engine oil every 1500 miles...it only holds 1200cc and soon gets contaminated... also you can hear the engine run quieter with new oil... simplest of jobs i dont understand why more riders cannot do this themselves it saves a fortune $$ in mechanic labour costs
The manual says 12000KM. But I change every year even though I usually only put on around 3000KM. Since I will change well before the recommended change I used regular oil rather than synthetic......Thanks for watching.
Than you so very much for this video. But I had a lot of problems with inserting transmission oil. That hole is super small and it all dripped and oozed out so in the end I probably didn't put the exact amount of oil (0,21 liter). But your tutorial was top notch..
Hmmmm. I'm not sure I understood what you mean by "keeping a lid of off another jug just for this purpose ". Looking at your video I got an impression you did it just fine, you didn't have any drips. I got to give Kymco a big minus for the placement of that hole. If only they've put it on top so you can normally insert oil. Next time I'll try with a huge syringe, maybe that will work. Cheers.
The lid on the oil jug I used to fill the gear case had a pointy tip that just fit in the hole of the gear case. That lid came from another oil jug, not the one shown there. If you have a lid with a tip like that you will not spill a drop either as it fits the hole tightly. Hope this helps...
Wait, so the transmission and gearbox/clutch are using separate oils? please explain i'm confused. I have a cbr250 honda sportbike manuel and it just uses motorbike oil for everything. I am interested in a big scooter for the comfort though as an upgrade
Many scooters use separate oil for the transmission as the transmission has gears that require a more viscous oil that the engine uses....Thanks for watching.
Cann you pls say how to refill the radiator with coolant?i had changed the waterpump..and now i want to fill back the water..but i cant..i found the refill cap.front..under the plastic cover..when i open the cap and fill ...only 200 ml..and it is full...if i start the engine..all coolant explode out..
+RogEdItion I am not sure how to refill the coolant. This sounds like you are putting coolant in the expansion tank. I would suggest putting coolant directly into the radiator cap, but I am not sure where it is as it is hidden behind plastic panels.
ma bravo... bought a new 2020 kymco 300i, still has everything the same like in this video... i'll use 15/50 oil, cause i dont plan to drive on minus 10C
Thanks so much, I just got a downtown 300i, new, it sat or 6 years. I love it! PS: Where do you buy parts for it? I am in US and ebay seems way to expensive, people are asking up to 50 dollars for an air filter? I was able to find a website out of taiwan that sells OEM parts, but they only have oil filters, spark plugs and air filters, I was hopping to get the CVT air filter too.
Nemanja yes, i do have the 2020 downtown, it is a nice bike, i do love it, the only thing i don’t like about it is the windshield, i think im going to get aftermarket one for more wind protection, you can find me on instagram, hghazoly
+Jerry Fan The owners manual says TRANSMISSION OIL CAPACITY: 0.23 L TRANSMISSION OIL EXCHANGING CAPACITY: 0.21 L Take your pick of which number you prefer.....If it is totally drained then I would put in 0.23 L..On the other hand maybe it can not be totally drained and some oil is retained in which case 0.21 L would be correct....Thanks for watching.
Hi. I have a question.. Which oil did you put into transmission and how much of it.?? Metric system would me much appriciated since I'm from Europe. Thnx..
+Bloeski's Wrecking Crew what can u tell me about this scoot? Im between this and the people 300 gti. Actually I have a Kymco Like, awesome little machine. Love the vid man! so clear so far!
+Nicolás Horacio Herrada I did a review of this bike in another video. It is a great bike, but better suited for shorter riders. I am tall and don't fit well in the seat. My knees are bent too far and I am wedged into the seat. I also have a Kymco People S 200 which has the same engine as your Like. The seating is much better for tall riders. Based on this I would go for the 300GTI as I would expect more seating space......Thanks for watching.
It is still running with no problems. The only issue is batteries will run flat if the bike is not used for 3 weeks. This wears out batteries in as little as a year.
I'm wondering why you are using motorcycle oil in the scoot. As I understand it motorcycle oil is a special formulation that has lubricants in it for the wet clutch plates in the trans. Scooters don't have those. Any good automotive engine oil will work well in a scoot engine and be less expensive.
This is a water cooled engine so it would probably be okay with regular engine oil. But I have 2 other bikes and buy a large jug of oil that will do all three. The other 2 bikes are air cooled so regular engine oil would not be the best for them.......Thanks for watching.

Great to hear it helped you......Thanks for watching.
For the gear oil I just use a syringe it’s so easy -just measure what you need and squirted in. Shouldn’t the drain bolts be torqued?
Great Video and just as described
+piers young Great to hear it helped.....Thanks for watching.
hi whats the number for the tool used in the first and second screw?? 17mm?? thanks
I believe that it is probably very similar to do it on the Kawasaki J300. What do you think?
Pro tip. Instead of newspaper, use aluminum foil. Also, if you put it over the drain pan, you won't spill a single drip of oil over the wheel or ground.
I was wondering why he didn't do this.

Howdy Bloeski....how did you clean the re-usable mesh screen for the engine oil? Just some towels or some cleaning solvents? Thanks
mathew apostle I just used paper towels. If there would have been debris in the filter then I would have used varsol or kerosene to clean out the debris.

Hi, are u sure gear oil should be 230ML? I think it should be 210ML
+Jerry Fan The owners manual says
TRANSMISSION OIL CAPACITY: 0.23 L
TRANSMISSION OIL EXCHANGING CAPACITY: 0.21 L
Take your pick of which number you prefer.....If it is totally drained then I would put in 0.23 L..On the other hand maybe it can not be totally drained and some oil is retained in which case 0.21 L would be correct....Thanks for watching.

The oil filter drain plug bolt has a VERY shallow head. Mine stripped :( Why did they make it sooooo badly???

Is the oil filter HF 566?
Ian Bolchi I am not sure. I did not keep the package from the filter. It was supplied by my local dealer and it did fit so it was the right one.
No problem , cheers for answering mate !
1.3L 10w 40. oil filter 24mm drain and screen 17mm. Transmission 12mm. 80w 90 gear oil .23L
23L oil in transmision or 0,230L. Thanks for video
you need another 200 cc for the oil filter but nice video
The amount I added filled it.....Thanks for watching.

think the book says put 1.5L not 1.3L.
Bonjour j'ai bien de bielle de Kymco 300 là je peux avoir
Oh and isn't it designed so you can't overfilleither one
It is easily overfilled for both the engine and the transmission.
Better use JASO MB not MA oil, for scooters without wet clutch is better to use JASO MB.
