2005 Kymco Hipster 125 Questions & Answers
What is the oil capacity
I would put in 2 qts and then slowly add part of the third till the level comes up. No bike, not even a big one holds much more than 3 qts oil. But I'm sure you will safe at putting in 2.+. Hope this helps.

Hi,iwould like to fit a remote starter on my
you will have to use a relay. connect pin 85 on the relay to the negative out wire on the remote starter, this wire is the bypass wire, then connect pin 86 to constant 12volt, then pin 30 will goto 12 volt constant aswell and pin 87 will go to the wire on your brake leaver that sends 12 volts out (there is probibly 2 wires coming from the brake leaver switch) connect 87 to the one that does not have 12volts on it at rest

Spark plg keeps coming off
If it is the plug cap that is falling off it could be that a little alloy nipple is missing off the top of the plug. If it is the plug itself that is falling out of the cylinder head you have probably got a stripped thread in the head(or if you recently bought & fitted this plug it is probably the wrong one).
remove the plug &check the thread by looking at it with a torch.
If it is a stripped thread in the cylinder head you should be able to get it repaired using a thread insert like a "helicoil or recoil" trread insert. A good motorbike shop should have the insert & skill to repair it with the insert WITHOUT REMOVING THE CYLINDER HEAD.
Here in Australia it costs about $70 parts & labour MAX.
Iv'e done hundereds with no problem.
Hope this helps you sort it out

Battery keeps loosing charge- kymco cruiser 125, 2005
I had this exact same problem on a hipster 125, it was a faulty regulator module ( mounted under the seat) I also found a short circuit (somewhere) in the wiring loom between the regulator output and the chassis (probably what killed the regulator in the first place!) I cut and replaced the entire wire to save removing most of the loom and after testing reg to ensure it was dead i fitted a new one (about £60) bike charges and runs like a dream now even with fully lights approx 80% of the time. good luck

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.
Electric start dose not work
check your connection..first check the battery power, if the power is full, check the fuse just connected not far from the battery, if is also good, check the starter moter,,i hope u will be helped
The bike starts up and
Hi ice_basher
You need to check the following
1) . The carborator & air filter are proper or not.
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.
4). The accelerator & clutch are properly working or not.
Your problem can be because of any of these. Please do a through check.

My 150 zongshen pit bike
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.
The battery goes dead after a couple days riding
Check for loose or dirty wire connections at the parts under the seat and coming from the stator. Check fuse connections. Any wires disconnected? Any component, tail light, headlight, left "turned on"?
Put a voltmeter on the battery terminals and rev the bike to2000 rpm. The reading should be about 14 volts. If not, better have a dealer check out the stator, rectifier, voltage regulator and ignition switch.
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

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.
