General Discussion / Scooter christened!
« on: August 06, 2022, 09:17:03 PM »
   Well, I only have about 500 miles on my X-Town and it got christened today. I was in a small parking lot. There is a large storm drain right in the middle of it. It had some grass and weeds growing up around it. Unfortunately, I tried to go over it only to discover a 6" deep hole. The front wheel jackknifed, and I couldn't hold it up. Luckily, I only have a few scratches on the plastic, and they are all on the matte black paint not the decals. Does anyone know which brand of paint would give me the closest match to the factory?

General Discussion / China vs Taiwan
« on: August 04, 2022, 07:33:54 PM »
  Lots of talk about the China-Taiwan situation. I'm just wondering how and if it would affect the Kymco availability situation in the future if China takes over Taiwan. Hopefully their scooters and parts would still be available.

Technical | How To / Too light?
« on: August 04, 2022, 12:12:30 PM »
     I want to get better acceleration from my X-Town 300i. Has anyone had the variator apart on their X-Town? I would like to know for sure what weight the stock rollers are. I bought a new set of Dr. Pulley sliders for mine. I thought they were 16g, but I just weighed them, and they are 15g. I don't want to go too light and kill all my top end. I don't want to pull the variator apart until I know for sure. I believe the stock rollers are part # MF-2-2-16, but I'm not sure that means 16g or not. If so, then 1g lighter would be just what I want.

Just saw the chart posted in the forum. It says my stock rollers are 17.5g. If so, how much top end will the 15g sliders kill?

Technical | How To / Better solution for beverage holder
« on: July 31, 2022, 11:51:53 AM »
  Last week I posted a solution I came up with to carry a beverage on my scooter while riding. Today I improved on that solution. I installed a second drawer pull to the front of my glove box. Then I bought a baby stroller organizer. It attaches with 2 Velcro strips. Now I can carry 2 beverages, my keys, cell phone, and garage door opener. It folds up to put gasoline in, and can be removed easily when not in use. What do you think!

Technical | How To / No replacement Puig 6790H
« on: July 24, 2022, 05:58:31 PM »
       I just tried to clean the bugs off my Puig 6790H Puig windshield. In doing so, I managed to put minor scratches in it. I haven't ridden it yet to determine how bad the scratches bother my field of vision. I started checking online for a replacement if needed. Apparently, Puig doesn't make a 6790H windshield anymore. Are there any other X-Town 300i ABS owner out there with a different brand they could recommend for me if necessary?


  I just found a 6790H on motorcycleeid. I would still be interested about any other brands made for the X-Town

Technical | How To / Scratched windshield
« on: July 24, 2022, 12:02:07 PM »
   After doing some night riding last night, I had lots of little dead bugs on my windshield (Puig). I took warm soapy water and a course sponge to clean it. Now I have very faint scratch marks on it. Is there any way to polish these swirls out?


   Update: Tried this product, and it worked well.

Technical | How To / Solution for beverage holder
« on: July 22, 2022, 11:24:51 AM »
    I finally figured out how to carry a water or soda bottle on my scooter. I bought a simple drawer pull and attached it to the cooling system fill cover. Now I can attach my beverage holder no problem. It's easy to reach when I stop for a drink. I can also use a small s-hook to hang a small grocery bag if I want.

Super 8 150 / Installed- Follow up to top box light question
« on: July 21, 2022, 01:21:22 PM »
  Got the Shad taillight installed on my X-Town 300 today. I wired it to be a running light rather than a brake light. Green wire is ground, and brown wire is hot for regular taillight.

General Discussion / Traffic light problem
« on: July 16, 2022, 08:07:58 PM »
   When I had my 600+ lb Harley I would have this problem occasionally. Now that I have a 400+ lb Kymco it happens more often. What happens is that the scooter isn't heavy enough to trigger the sensor in the road that changes the traffic light. You can sit there for several minutes, and the light doesn't change. I usually wait for 2 cycles, and then end up going through a red light. I don't know how kindly law enforcement will take to this if I ever get caught. Has this happened to anyone else?

General Discussion / Beverage holder
« on: July 07, 2022, 12:21:42 PM »
   When I had my GTI300, I bought a fabric bag to put a bottle of soda in while riding. The GTI300 had a hook in the center step through where I could hang the bag when riding. I can attach a small hook to my X-town 300i to hang a bag, but I'm looking for a vendor who would carry this type of bag. Most of the cup holders I found online attach to handlebars. Any suggestions?

Technical | How To / light question
« on: July 06, 2022, 05:58:09 PM »
   I installed new LED's and replaced the halogen headlights in my X-Town 300i. Very happy with the results. Now I just ordered a Shad light kit to mount on the Shad mounting bracket. I'm debating whether to wire it for running lights, or as a brake light. What are pros and cons of either?

Technical | How To / Clock question
« on: June 11, 2022, 10:17:17 PM »
  Does the clock on my X-Town 300i only read military time (24 hour?) or can it be set for 12 hours?

General Discussion / question about pictures
« on: June 05, 2022, 01:10:01 PM »
   I'm not the most computer literate person, so I have a question. I'm finally trying to download some pictures of my scooter, and the site is telling me my file is too large,and won't allow it. How do I correct this problem?
