Scooters - 125 to 300 => Xciting 250 => Topic started by: Scoundrel on April 09, 2013, 01:18:23 AM

I have a 2009 Xciting 250 Ri.
It has 1220 miles on it.
I just noticed a check engine light.
On the center stand with kickstand up and ignition on, I see a blink code.
It does 4 long blinks and then 5 short blinks. My manual does not seem to include diagnostic codes.
Can anyone tell me what this means?
I've done some searches but have come up empty.
Dealer is closed today, will ask them tomorrow.
It's very low on gas but did not run out.
I killed the battery at one point by not getting the seat shut all of the way, but I charged it up and it was fine after that.
It's been sitting for a while (months), and I noticed the light after 1st engine start after it had been sitting.
However, it starts right up and runs perfectly. No hesitation, no lack of power.
Any ideas?

Anyone?
I called the dealer today, and so far they're blowing me off.
I called in the morning shortly after they opened. They said they'd research it and call me back. They didn't.
I called again a couple of hours before they closed. The guy who answered went and talked to the first guy, then said he hadn't forgotten about me and he'd research it and call me back. No call by the end of the day.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm driving it over there and parking my butt in their lobby until they give me an answer.
But if someone here had the codes, I'd sure appreciate it.

I think you really need a code reader. Meanwhile, you can check your oxygen sensor for loose connections or dirt. Or it may be a damaged sensor.

You should consider not being a jerk. I found your post because I work for a dealership and am trying to find the answer to this exact question and can't. I have access to all service manuals and find NOTHING. Your dealer doesn't have time to deal with passive aggressive little twits like you.

and you sir should give serious consideration to who pays your salary. Sometimes in life we have to suck it up and deal with people that may or may not be reasonable, and do so in a professional manner.
From the original post I don't see it as being a jerk. What is, IMO, "jerkey" is to post " I found the answer" then follow that up with nothing. Not what I would expect from a professional.
I notice you have little info in your profile and you don't mention who you work for.
Of course I would hope that your employer is happy you didn't mention the company name....
Customer is still king.

So?

I have the same scoot - year and model. At 1200 miles the change oil light will come on automatically as a reminder to change the oil. This will happen at every 1200 miles until the button is reset. However, I don't recall the light blinking. Still, this may be part of the answer? Hope this helps.

I was trying to reset the trip meter on my Yager and the scoot started blinking 4 or 5 times at me.
That's the code for TPS. I finally got the trip reset and shut it off and it hasn't blinked since...

Dude, chill. He wasn't being passive aggressive he was just reacting like any customer would to being promised a callback and not getting one, even one to say "we can't find you an answer, sorry"
Treat your customers like an inconvenience and sure, they will treat you like sh**, and you know what? That's a sign you're doing the job wrong. You could be the best mechanic in the world but if you treat me like that I'm buggered if you get to work on my ride.
Doesn't matter if you're fixing bikes, writing software or managing a brokerage account. If you promise a customer or a business partner something, you follow through and see that they get it. Because if you don't then you are setting yourself up for either losing the job or if you own the business bankruptcy.

Nowhere in this guy's story did I hear "I promise I'll call you back today." And going in and sitting there until you get an answer is being pretty passive aggressive and obnoxious.

Not true.

Oh. And, guess what. He's not my customer so I get to tell him he's a jerk.

How big of you.
Why don't you tell us who you work for ?

urgay, YOU do NOT fit with this group with that attitude. This bunch is spring loaded to the "help" position. I seem to be the only one with a short fuse when it comes to the boneheads with the " Please help! Urgent help needed" who do not respond with what advice worked. Additionally, DEALERS have a poor reputation with us because they are mostly incompetent and unresponsive. There are exceptions but too few. Dealer employees like you are NEITHER needed NOR appreciated AND probably responsible for poor dealer response. There are folks on this forum who are way more technically competent and qualified than most dealer techs and are continually contributing to SOLUTIONS rather than being PROBLEMS like you. There. I have spent more time on this than I should have. We now return to more pleasant programming.....

Hey all,
Look at the guys name "urgay". He is obviously trying to be provocative and you are giving him what he wants. By the way, I'm guessing he had time to look up the answer because he has NO Customers with his attitude. Probably some fat old guy (okay that hits to close to home :) ) spending all his time pretending to be some hot chick on the internet. I say we ignore the jerk and make sure we have answered Scoundrel's question. How about it Scoundrel? Is the issue resolved yet?

It's nice ain't it.
Don't worry. We don't sell Kymcos anymore.
