Title: New owner of 2009 500 Xciting R
Post by: Owatta on August 21, 2015, 06:27:52 PM
Hello, just purchased a 2009 500 Xciting with 5400 miles on it, appears to be like new. Hope to find out lots of info and tips here.  I just wish it was about 100 lbs lighter, but I am going to start looking for things to eliminate.  That ignition switch that opens the gas door and seat is a bit stubborn, hoping some WD40 works on that.  Going to start figuring out how to get turn signals off, because they are full of dirt and bugs!  I found a service manual today on Ebay for under $30.00! FYI, I am a retired guy in Oregon, have ridden motorcycles since 1965, have had 4 other scooters, 3 Hondas and an old Vespa.
