Kymco LIKE 50/125 2015 Service Manual (P/N 14000-LKE-000)

• Model coverage: 157-page PDF for the KYMCO LIKE 50 and LIKE 125, covering air-cooled 50cc and 125cc configurations with separate service data where specified.
• Engine repair: Covers engine removal and installation, oil-pump service, camshaft and cylinder-head work, valve inspection, piston and ring measurements, crankcase separation, and crankshaft checks.
• CVT and final drive: Details the kick starter, drive pulley, belt, weight rollers, clutch/driven pulley, driven-face bearings, and final-reduction gears, shafts, bearings, and oil seals.
• Fuel and emissions: Includes 50cc CVK and 125cc VE carburetor data, auto-bystarter testing, vacuum and float chambers, air cut-off valve, fuel tank and sender, A.I.C.V., and reed valve.
• Chassis and brakes: Documents frame-cover removal, wheel and bearing service, hydraulic front-brake bleeding and repair, rear drum brake service, front fork, steering stem, and shock absorbers.
• Electrical diagnosis: Provides charging, ignition, and starting-system tests; battery, CDI, coil, regulator/rectifier, starter, switch, gauge, and lighting checks; circuit drawings; and a full wiring diagram.
• Reference material: Supplies assembly-specific torque tables, fluid data, wear limits, clearances, adjustment specifications, electrical test values, troubleshooting tables, exploded views, and special-tool listings.

Mechanical System Coverage

The engine chapters go beyond routine maintenance. They cover engine extraction and installation, the hanger bracket, lubrication system, and oil-pump removal, inspection, reassembly, and installation. Top-end repair material follows the camshaft, cylinder head, valves, cylinder, piston, and rings, with wear and mating-surface checks. Crankcase separation and crankshaft inspection are included for deeper engine repair.

For drive complaints, the manual works through the transmission from the kick-starter mechanism to the drive pulley, movable drive face, weight rollers, belt, clutch, driven pulley, and driven-face bearings. Procedures cover teardown, inspection, bearing replacement, reassembly, and installation. Troubleshooting addresses a scooter that starts but will not move, creeps or stalls, loses power at speed, or develops transmission-oil leaks. The final-reduction chapter covers the drive shaft, countershaft, final gear, bearings, seals, and gearcase assembly.

Fuel, Chassis, and Electrical Coverage

The fuel section distinguishes the 50cc CVK and 125cc VE carburetor configurations. It covers carburetor removal, auto-bystarter resistance and operation checks, the air cut-off valve, vacuum diaphragm, float chamber, jets, float-level inspection, fuel tank, sender, automatic fuel valve, and air cleaner. Emission-system coverage adds the secondary-air cleaner, air injection control valve, reed valve, vacuum routing, and fault finding for high CO, deceleration backfire, and muffler noise.

Chassis repair chapters handle the body panels and carrier, front and rear wheels, wheel bearings, hydraulic front brake, rear drum brake, fork, steering stem and races, and both shock absorbers. Brake procedures include fluid replacement and bleeding, pad and disc service, master-cylinder repair, and caliper repair.

Electrical material includes charging-output and battery tests, A.C. generator and pulser-coil checks, regulator/rectifier and resistor testing, ignition-coil and CDI circuit inspection, plus starter-relay and starter-motor diagnosis. Separate sections cover the fuel gauge, handlebar and stop switches, horn, turn signals, instrument lighting, headlight, tail light, and brake light.

Specifications and Technical Preview

The tables cover fastening torques, approved oils and fluid capacities, wear and service limits, fit and clearance data, charging output, voltage and resistance checks, and adjustment specifications. Separate 50cc and 125cc values appear where applicable, especially in the carburetor, top-end, piston/cylinder, and CVT sections.

Key illustrations include the lubrication-system section view, cylinder-head/cylinder/piston exploded assembly, kick-starter/CVT/clutch layout, final-reduction gear drawing, hydraulic front-brake assembly drawing, and charging, ignition, and starting circuit sheets. The last page contains the full LIKE 50/125 wiring diagram. Photographs identify connectors, fasteners, cable routes, timing marks, and installed components.

Named service tools include a flywheel puller and universal holder, clutch spring compressor and one-way clutch puller, crankcase puller and assembly tooling, float-level gauge, steering-stem race and bearing drivers, and a vacuum pump.

File Scope and Service Notes

Coverage is identified by LIKE 50/125 model and engine size; this PDF does not provide a model-year or serial-number breakdown. The contents list Section 2, “General Information,” but the file moves from Section 1 directly to Section 3. The opening assembly drawing in Section 12 carries a “SUPER8 50 2T” header before the following frame-cover pages return to LIKE 50/125 identification.

Two repair cautions stand out. The fuel chapter warns that compressed air can damage the carburetor vacuum diaphragm unless it is removed first. The CVT section calls for keeping oil and grease off the drive belt, pulley faces, and clutch linings because contamination can cause slipping and poor drive performance.

Gasoline-system work, hydraulic brake service, stored clutch-spring force, and rotating drivetrain components require proper support, tools, and workshop safety practices. Brake operation and drivetrain function should be verified before the scooter is returned to service.
