Hello, Ihave a major problem withmy xciting 500 2005 .

i have changed the brakepads with the original ones and used the book from  kymco , after i had changed the pads the brake pads are pushing the disk and i am worried now that the brake disk is overheating .
i can turn the wheel with one hand but there is resitance .


please i need advice i use the machine for driving to work every day about 175 kilometers.


thank you verry much

This is the story,
A few monts ago i bought a xcting 500 in belgium and get her thru customs and i dit a little resarch on the machine, now ater about 2500 km's i had the feeling that there was something wrong with the clutch so i opened the vario cover and tried to remove the nuts from the clutch that was heavy but it went of.
i took of the cover and the shoes lookt verry normal but i renewd the whole with the original parts the spring included.
next i replaced the rols and sliders in the vario .
after that was done i replaced the brake pads in the front and rear , there was a little problem with te pads , i ordered by germany 3 sets for the back wheel ,there is only one tiny point on the back blocks and that fits in the handbrake adjust part.
thats the only thing between front and the back brake , with he ginder make it flat and they fit at he front too and you save lots of money.
i changed the oil and filter .
and then i went for a test drive ........guess what    AWSOME

the rpm went down with about 750 and it drives super

Hello, does some one know what is the cause of the shaking of the front from the xcitting 500 .
when i close the throttle and the speed goes down at 60km and i hold the steering slidey loose in the hand then it starts to shake
