How does it handle road bumps and cracked streets? Also for a rider of 1,75 cm (5ft9incs) is it ok ?

@@pd_v4855 its quite stable and well balance. I would said it depends on your tyres that's very important. I'm about 0.10m shorter than u😊.

@@vodchia3856 Thank you very much for the reply !!

@Jason Selvarajah hi there jason, my problems were mainly down to the cdi box which in turn did damage to the coil spark plug and ht lead. All were replaced eventually after much negotiation with kymco who were convinced there was nothing wrong with it since ths diagnostic tool they attached registered no faults. However my mechanic told him that clearly there were problems and he suspected the cdi and the coil. I should point out that this problem had been ongoing for some time. After i traded my downtown for the 400i, kawasaki were selling the j 300. Although considered by many as a rebadged downntown there were notable differences. The cdi unit was designed by kawasaki themselves and the salesman i spoke to confirmed that kymco admitted they had experienced several problems and were discontinuing their downtown. Im happy to say that the 400i is a completely different machine which i have had for almost 5 years now.

@@johnforrest3628 Thanks mate.... appreciate the reply. Have fun and ride safe.....

Do u own one? ?

@@pd_v4855 Yes

I have a downtown since july 2019 and it's true what he says, at lights no one can keep up with me in acceleration 0 to 60 km/h, it's an amazing machine to put any danger behind in traffic situations. Where is laking to me is in twisty roads, it needs a physical ride to lean but it's not a motorcycle i guess it's ok (it's my first scooter, i drove only bikes before), also i do believe that stock tyres are not the best.

@@enr1l is the accleration from 0 km bad for cvt?

@@ahmedsayed8352 No. It is very good

I bought it. Can not compete with Tmax or Xmas 400!! Disappointing to me... I expected more of it.
