What are the common issues with the Kymco Like 110?
2 Answers
Stalling, slight exhaust noise, and jerking during take-off. Here are the detailed descriptions: Stalling: When idling and slightly accelerating, the RPM drops below 1000 and the engine stalls. Occasionally, it also stalls after braking at high speeds. This issue occurred after adjusting the carburetor. Slight exhaust noise: The exhaust makes a crackling sound, which is not loud and can only be heard in quiet environments. It resembles the sound of popping candy or the sizzling of oil in a pan after cooking, but much quieter. Jerking during take-off: The scooter jerks forward during low-speed take-off, but this phenomenon disappears after reaching 90Km/h a few times.
I've been riding the Kymco Like 110 for over three years. Overall it's quite sturdy, but there are indeed several common issues. The engine mounting bracket bolts tend to loosen and cause strange noises - regular checks are recommended. The carburetor is somewhat delicate, especially during cold starts in northern winters when it occasionally stalls - I had to clean it twice to solve this. The front shock absorbers are prone to oil leakage after prolonged use - I replaced the oil seals at just 8,000 km. The most annoying problem is the rear wheel bearings, which started humming around 20,000 km - I've replaced two sets. The storage compartment latch under the seat is too fragile - I've broken it twice when opening in the rain. It's advisable to keep some commonly worn parts in the bike.
