2003 Kymco Hipster 125 Questions & Answers
Hi, The brake light on
strange but true I had a similar thing after going into my front area, what I had done is put the correctly wired wrong bulb in the indicator and vice versa into the side headlight, not an easy thing to do considering the two are physically separated but that's me, so then my side light was acting as indicator and my indicator was on constantly, in some way could you have done the same thing?
Electric start not working
i want a speedometer for kymco hipster 125, 03 and handlebars but i cant fine any, could you tell me please.
Ive got a tapping noise from the top end of my 125cc hypster
If the sound is light and regular it could be your tappet setting is a little too wide. This is a simple engine andif it is not too loud you could probably leave it, otherwise any motorcycle repair shop could reset it quite quickly. The problem is the tappets need to be set with the engine cold.
Battery removal
hi,
Remove the plastic panel on the left side of the bike just under the seat and you will see the battery. unscrew the metal bar that holds it in and simply slide the battery out.
Spedometer problem
Actually as the tires wear the error increases. If you have a mechanical speedometer and you're fairly mechanically minded you can take the speedo apart pull the retaining pin on the watch spring, increase the tension a bit and put it back together. I've done that before. Not sure how your instruments are made, but you don't want to destroy things doing so. The other option is to get some stick on numbers and stick them on the bezel at their appropriate positions. For example, stick 45 over the 55 speedo number. Check at sign makers to see if them can fix you up with numbers. Any more they have machines that laser cut adhesive vinyl and can make any desig you want. ,,,
Engine oil change Kymco Hipster 125
Hi, Russell if you ask 10 different riders you will get 10 different answers. All oil is certified by the Oil Gods to perform under specific conditions for specific applications and any oil is better than no oil and if you're in a bind diesel oil works just fine. If your engine is air cooled never run automotive oil because normal motorcycle cylinder head temperatures run much hotter than water-cooled cylinder heads, make sure the oil is designed for motorcycles. Your owners manual recommends a specific type of oil that is designed to lubricate the engine parts to withstand the normal driving conditions the motorcycle was intended to be used for, end of story. Now for an analogy, your cars owners manual recommends using 87 octane fuel to power your engine for maximum performance and it does a wonderful job of achieving that goal. But you say 92 octane is better because it has a higher number and is more expensive, well guess what your car will not run any better and there are no long or short term benefits from running a higher octane fuel bottom line your car doesn't need it. Same thing with oil sure they make lubricants that can withstand the temperature of molten lava which you would need if you were planning to drive into an active volcano, don't waste your time and money on snake oil just use what your bike needs and your manufacturer recommends and nothing more. The oil weight grade is for ambient temperatures you expect to drive in between oil changes 20w50 covers 80% of all driving temperature conditions if your looking for a better oil that works in all temperature conditions, buy a Synthetic in the same grade from a reputable oil manufacturer I personally recommend AMSOIL just because they were the pioneers in synthetics and their load test numbers for wear put them in a class all by themselves and you can go longer and further in between oil changes. It's a little hard to find in stores but easily available online.

I have a kymco hipster
Check your fuses and if they're good, check the connections at the far end of the battery cables. If they are clean and tight, check the battery cables themselves for continuity. If all of the above are good, start troubleshooting from the keyswitch back. If you know which terminals to jump out at the keyswitch for the lights, jump them out; if the lights light up, suspect the switch.

2). The race & pickup is adjusted or not.
3). Ask your mechanic to chk the power output in bhp. Match it with the pescribed one.

Your problem can be because of any of these. Please do a through check.

the mechanic did not put back the thrust washers on the pivot shifter rod when he fixed your bike. You must disassemble the transmission and, install the missing thrust spacer washers the dealer will have the shop drawings and, the part; it's an easy fix.
