Title: Questions about my 250 Xciting
Post by: cman59 on April 14, 2014, 05:50:47 AM
Hey guy's.. as some may know.. I have a 2010 Kymco Xciting 250. and It has 1100 miles on it... I bought it at 1000 and I changed the Motor oil to Casterol GTX synthetic blend, and changed out the gear oil with vavoline 80 w I believe. here some questions..

1. Even before I changed all the fluids... sometimes when im driving I will hear a vibration noise in the engine, which It dosent shift weird or anything it just makes a noise. it's not constant, but every now and then. no knocking.

2. I was giving 2 sets of regular keyes and I also have 2 smaller keys that are kinda flat? on each side it says open and shut? what are these for?

3. When should I change my coolant? and how hard is it to DIY?

Noise may be from the variator (belt vibration).
The flat key is for the keyhole shutter.
Coolant and gear oil ist changed very unfrequently. I don't have the manual now, but for sure it is in intervalls of many years. At least the coolant change is difficult, the system must subsequently be de-aired.
