Scooters - 125 to 300 => Downtown 300 => Topic started by: slunkmonky on July 27, 2021, 09:35:50 PM

I've had an '06 xciting 250 and a '09 same. The only things that every went wrong on both of them was the engine getting too hot in texas summer in traffic. As long as I'm moving I never had an issue. What would happen is that the engine would just cease at idle such as when stopping at a light.
I'm in the market for a new ride and I'm looking at the xtown 300, new.
Anybody ever have an issue riding it on highways (typically 60-70 mph for 10-15 miles before getting onto surface roads)
Anybody notice oil burn in hot weather or when riding on highways?
I loved what these scoots did, the MPG's, the ease of purcha$e etc, and I can acknowledge that I owned either of them when they already had 10 years on them, each. But if the new ones will do this kind of thing due to the heat here,,, I'm just afraid of buying one new and having the same issues.

Never had an overheat in liquid cooled machines like Yager, Downtown 300i or People GTi300. Had one in the UXV500i when fan quit.

Yes they do burn slightly more oil at highway speeds, but they do not overheat.

None of mine either burned or leaked oil.

Have since a couple of month a Grand Dink 150, which has IMHO, a similar liquid cooled setup. It's pretty hot here too but didn't have overheating or oil burned. Motor has 33000 km on the clock and was for sure not treated tenderly tru its life until now.
