Xciting 500 / Re: Having trouble accelerating from a full stop.
« Last post by devrongrimm on Today at 11:47:22 AM »
@devrongrimm welcome here!
First measures in this case should be:
-scoot on mainstand
-brakes pulled and released (stationary brake too)
-try to move rearwheel by hand
-rotates freely, YES/NO

-if NO your rear brakecylinder/disc or hand brake
needs to be revised

-if YES, take off all CVT covers (3) and check whether all moves there properly
-rear alu cover with inserted support bearing stucks sometimes and is hard to remove.

Okay, I'll do this and check the things you mentioned. I'll update once I've checked it.

Miles on your scooter?
Miles since last CVT servicing?
Stig

Haven't done any CVT servicing yet. But the miles is almost at 10k so it is scheduled for PMS.  I would have it checked there since you mention it. I'll update here if the problem has gets fixed.

I know that the newer Corvette with mid engine has better handling dynamics but I still prefer the front rear drive versions.

Sweet wheels.

There was a red one parked right behind this white one.
But nothing clever about his plate.
White ones at dusk, with all the running lights on look like a small parade!

I believe this is one of your countrymen - on a set of Anlas. (found on advrider)


There is a 2nd video of this incident - but, since it is a helmet cam - it has a bit of language. Understandably.

You look all set for getting rowdy in the dirt with your Kymco. (?)

Envious of your mobile tyre fitter!

Good photos!

Well, all mods were complete minus the oil cooler, turns out the oil pump doesn't have enough pressure to get the oil up and through the oil cooler and added filter.

Big bore kit was a tough one and it won't be at it's full potential until I find a bigger fuel injector that fits, the tough part is finding the right size fuel injector that also fits the intake manifold bracket. The Kymco Spade 150 has an 80cc/min fuel injector and according to my math the optimal size with the 175cc big bore kit will be 100-120cc/min flow rate. Finding one that low in the US is a challenge. Been testing a few and they either don't fit or are too high of flow for the ECU to compensate for. But, I am hitting 68 on flat ground and my top gear throttle response has definitely improved so I'll take it.

Finally got around to matching the front to the rear yesterday when my mobile tyre fitter came to instal the new Anlas Winter Grip 2.  Front & Rear now match and the scooter handles like it's on rails!  £66 for the tyre and £30 for fitting which I thought very fair.


I think it looks the semi-off road part?

You can see why it’s such a tourist honey trap. Sorry to say I missed it on my one trip to SF.
