Cool piece, but a little bit steep on price.
Google Maps wouldn't be an option to use your phone on a holder?

General Discussion / NSR (Nearly Scooter Related) MOTOGUZZI Nevada 750 Club
« on: May 31, 2024, 07:21:08 PM »
As title says is nearly scooter related because:

-the guy who bought my XC 500i (and is happy with) wanted to have his Guzzi customized too.
Saying that,
-it was set lower, front fork an rear dampers with new suspension points
-custom made side bags on inox frames mounted
-stylish carrier instead a rear seat
-steelflex brake lines
-lockable left panier built
-original Guzzi 5mm windshield
-carbs rebuilt and new jetted
and a handful other small wishes done.
Pls see pics.

Have a look at Amazon, there are lots of similar aftermarket products. Take one and adapt.

@devrongrimm welcome here!
First measures in this case should be:
-scoot on mainstand
-brakes pulled and released (stationary brake too)
-try to move rearwheel by hand
-rotates freely, YES/NO

-if NO your rear brakecylinder/disc or hand brake
needs to be revised

-if YES, take off all CVT covers (3) and check whether all moves there properly
-rear alu cover with inserted support bearing stucks sometimes and is hard to remove.

Yes, its been done.
 Take any aftermarket silencer which fits from lenght and widht, cut off this pipe which comes from cylinder and weld it on this aftermarket piece. Bolt it properly and deal done.

General Discussion / Re: Kymco 200i Petrol Pump failing
« on: May 08, 2024, 01:43:09 PM »
Hmmmh, sounds mystical..?
-pls take the pump out again and check whether it works on top of your fuel tank, not inside mounted
-if yes, pull on cables during running, maybe a further cable is faulty
-always start with testing/renew fuses
-try this with all your pumps

-open fuel tap
-you might look into your carb whether all passages are clear
-check vacuum fuel pump and hoses for demage and functionality/tight fit
-Inspect this diaphragm in your carb for tiny holes in it
-take the airfilter out to see if clogged

@fneijts welcome here!
As Stig suggests pls give details of your scoot.

-are we talking about an in-fueltank pump?
-was the whole pump replaced or the motor only?
-bench testing requires a fully charged battery or workshop tester
-fuses are to be replaced
-cables to and fro pump checked for broken insulation?

General Discussion / Re: Xciting 500cc flapping noise from engine or crank or valves
« on: April 26, 2024, 09:32:22 PM »
@RyianKymco welcome here!
I would in such a case:
- METIN  box out
- leave the drive belt off
- take motorstethoscope or a long screwdriver
- listen at running motor where the noise comes from
Hard mechanical "flapping" or more hushed?
- could be a broken chainguide/ tensioner
- a faulty rotor
Please do a thorough checking and come back here for some more Qs. or feedback.
Maybe you could put this subject within XC 500 section.

Here in Italy we wouldn't think too much whether commercial or not, or allowed or not.
Any car or combi where it would fit in gets the wildcard.
Here in my vicinity every scooter dealer might pick you up with his van, though might cost you a nice dinner.
