Kymco Downtown CVT transmission maintenance - (belt, rollers, sliders and clutch inspection)

[@nemanjatosovic]

When installing rollers, note that they will have different sides, the side with more plastic on it will lead and you will instal them counterclockwise. If roller are same on both sides, then they can go in either way.

[@Julian-pj4yv]

This will be extremely helpful thank you man also where do you order your Kymco parts from

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@Julian-pj4yv I get them directly from Taiwan. Check out TBS Scooter Shop’s website. You just need to know the part number and they’ll order anything you need directly from Kymco at awesome prices, 1/3 less than you’d pay at a dealer. To look up a part number just google Kymco downtown parts diagrams.

@@nemanjatosovic Is TBS Scooter Shop and Taiwan big Scooter shop the same I was on my Kymco Downtown 300i last night and it was making a new sound just getting ready to work on it if I have to and hope you enjoyed your Christmas man

[@tg-ns1nc]

Nice video but the music is way too loud I can't hear you, buddy!!!

[@brayli86]

Music and instructions together mix like some kinda rap 😄

[@lollik91]

great video, only minus is music is a little bit too loud for your voiceover.

[@nemanjatosovic]

Yeah, I did it on my phone and the voice recording just isn’t loud enough

[@HenriqueLima432]

Great video. Tks

[@ohwell2790]

Why did you change all that out ? My manual Kymco 2012 Like 200 i states change belt every 7-8 years and just did that in Oct 2020 and it really looked good. Every thing else looked good.

[@nemanjatosovic]

The rollers should be changed as soon as they are worn, that till depend On many factors, the belt usually can last around 10-15 thousand miles but with age, can go bad even with less. The sliders like rollers will need to be replaced if they are badly worn etc. in order to keep the scooter running like new it’s best to follow maintenance intervals in the manual..

Kad se stavi kaiš, mora li se nesto štelovati? Ili najnormalnije stavis, zategnes saraf i on sam nalegne? I jos jedno pitanje: koliko gr. su fabricke rolnice?

[@nemanjatosovic]

Sam će da legne, sto se tiče rolnica, ne sećam se. Prodao sam ga.

[@adambarczi6305]

Can the music be turned off somehow? I cannot hear what you say.

[@nemanjatosovic]

I can’t turn it off once uploaded. Sorry

[@jisoopark5021]

Thanks for the vid, where did you order your parts from?

[@nemanjatosovic]

Directly from Taiwan

[@boksaboki]

Nemanja do you know of top of your head are those rollers in 20mm x 12mm dimension ? Thank you I have bought used downtown and working on it a bit

[@nemanjatosovic]

I can’t remember but I think you can find the original weight abs size in the manual

[@zoltanmeszaros6918]

Whats causes squeeking noise at take off? Great video btw

[@nemanjatosovic]

Hmm.. maybe your belt, brakes, I’m not sure. Could be a few things. Any issues accelerating? Where does it seems it’s coming from?

[@ionutrs2212]

Hi, have the same problem on a 2010 kymco gti 300 , a squeaking noise on slow-medium acceleration that gets quite loud between 17 km/h and 22 km/h after 22km/h there is no squeaking at all, also on full acceleration from 0 to 30 i can't hear it.The sound comes from the transimision. The belt and rolers were changed in 2019 at 15000km now its has 21000, could squeaking come from rolers? Thnks.

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@ionutrs2212 generally belt or the clutch. You can take the cover off and listen up close I’m sure you’ll be able to see what’s causing it

[@chaza4454]

Sounds like I have the same thing. Can squeak on take off, most noticeable when the clutch dissengages under engine breaking where there's a short squeek as it dissengages. My guess is when the clutch first engages the shoe doesn't make a good contact with the outer housing and squeakes. Other people can comment if that sounds reasonable, I'm no mechanic.

[@zoltanmeszaros6918]

@@chaza4454 could be. It's been a while since I've dealt with mine. But the bell might be glazed and doesn't make great contact. Sanding/scuffing it down might help. Search up a video on how sand down a scooter clutch bell

[@pilyomotoride7781]

Is a 2021 xtown 300 with 11k miles for 3300 a good price ? And anything to look for before buying it?

[@nemanjatosovic]

I think it can be if it’s in great shape, at around that milage youlll need a new belt, valve checks, probably new rollers, and a complete fluid flush.

[@audiophilipp]

Vidim da vozish i yamaha xmax,kako bi sporedio kvalitet yamahe sa kymco ?

[@nemanjatosovic]

Tu su negde, yamaha je nešto kvalitetnija ali nema velike razlike. Moj kymco je nešto stariji tako da koliko sam video recimo novi xciting je bas vrhunski skuter a pogotovo ak550, mislim da je mala razlika ali eto yamaha je nešto popularnija i neki delovi izgledaju kao da su bolje uradjeni ali u suštini su veoma slični

[@audiophilipp]

@@nemanjatosovic koliko si presao na taj kymco sada

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@audiophilipp 10,000 km ukupno, ide super, jedino mi je smetalo sedište nije bas udobno.

[@Julian-pj4yv]

What tool set did you use or do you have a recommendation

[@nemanjatosovic]

Just a socket set. I used an impact driver to get the clutch abs the variator off. If you don’t have one, you can buy a variator tool which holds it in place while you take the buy off but the impact makes it much easier. You really don’t need anything else, maybe a torque wrench when putting everything back on.

What type of tires do you have on this bike

[@nemanjatosovic]

Shinkos

[@Julian-pj4yv]

@@nemanjatosovic ok thx

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@Julian-pj4yv i can remember what model but you can just look up shinkos and use the correct size they will come up

[@Julian-pj4yv]

@@nemanjatosovic I saw some for $60 and how do you feel about the new Maxi scooter like the Yamaha Tmax tech or the Kymco Ak 550

[@nemanjatosovic]

@@Julian-pj4yv the new tmax is probably the best scooter you can buy. It’s just very expensive, they’re about 13500 for the regular version and about 15500 euros for the tech max version. If I had the money I’d love to have it. The ak550 is a great scooter. well priced and I think it looks great. It’s pretty high tech so idk how reliable it’ll be considering making such a high tech scooter is new for Kymco but I’m sure it’ll be reliable just like other Kymcos. In the US we don’t get the tmax but we do get the ak550 and if I had the money I would buy it I just don’t have 10,000 dollars…

[@volhv1973]

Hi, what is the difference between downtown and xtown?

[@nemanjatosovic]

Biggest difference is that the Downtown has a 4 valve engine and the XTown a 2 valve. Other than that, they’re similar. XTown does look better in my opinion

[@volhv1973]

@@nemanjatosovic Thank you! I think that xtown looks better too.

[@paultran4052]

You should turn off music for we can hear engine running
