Hi everybody,just wanted to know how many miles these original belt and rollers can go. My scoot is a 2009 with 7,900 miles on her. Im just about to get her out from winters nap. Think ,all i need to do is check tires,change oil and filter and ride the thing...lol What do you all think? Also never did coolant either,but looks clean.

Xciting 500 / Riding buddies?
« on: March 28, 2018, 02:15:48 PM »
Hi everyone,I wanted to ask if anyone is in michigan and would be interested in group riding. I dont see any clubs or scoot people near me. I love my scoot but would be fun to have a weekend thing or meetup. Please let me know if anyone is near the Royal Oak area in Michigan. Thanks guys, everyone be safe. I'm patiently waiting for the weather to warm up so the xciting can come out of hibernation.🤙

Xciting 500 / Cold start issue update..
« on: October 24, 2017, 09:52:45 PM »
I have owned my 09 xciting 500 since brand new in 2010. This thing has never started under 45 degrees.  I have been through 2 batteries so far. Yesterday i purchased the Yuasa agm high performance version of the 14 bs. It has a higher cold cranking amp than stock. Long story short my scoot has started flawlessly the last 2 40 degree mornings,this has never happened before,i am so happy,i hope this was the answer. Changed the plug to a hotter one also,the c7 instead of the c8 ngk. Just wanted to update you all. Be safe everyone!

Xciting 500 / Freeway run
« on: October 01, 2017, 07:52:37 PM »
Hi guys,hope everyone is doing well. I have an 09 xciting 500ri  with 7,000 miles and loving every minute of it except the fact it wont start under 40 degrees. Any way.....i went for a cruise about 100 miles today and speeds were between 65 and 75 mph. My front end felt very light and made me nervous to take corners at that speed. A very weird feeling. What would help with that? I am 210lbs, shocks set at 4, 29lbs air in front and 35lbs in rear. I would really appreciate any feedback you may have for me. Maybe could be i havent been on the freeway much this year, i xont know,but never remember feeling so nervous to where i have to slow to 60 to take the curve than back up to speed...lol

Xciting 500 / what a nice day
« on: July 27, 2015, 12:24:39 AM »
I was off work today and took the xciting out for a 200 mile cruise to nowhere. Just me the machine and freedom. Man i am having a hard time watching the rpms approach 6,000 just above 70mph. I think in my head the motors going to blow or something. How long could you really cruise with rpms at 6 or 7,000. I use good mobil 1 oil and all. Just wanted your all opinions. I thank you all for the great insight over the years. Please be safe everyone....
