Xciting 250 / Stator interchangeability

« on: January 13, 2020, 04:54:22 AM »

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if the stator in the xciting 250 was interchangeable with the people 250 or Grand Dink 250?

The price for the xciting one is about twice if the other two.

Xciting 250 / Xciting 250 runs but stalls out almost immediately. Needing some help.

So I'm at a loss with my 07/08 xciting 250.

Since I've bought it last month I've only been able to wrench in it. The person I bought it from said that it wasn't charging the battery and it's been sitting.

When I brought it home I did the standard tune up stuff : new oil, plug, air filter, cleaned the carb and jets. When trying to to run it, the scooter runs for a while - ,maybe 3 or 4 minutes then it dies. Sooner if I try to give it throttle. After it dies it is a hard start and when it does it runs really rough and will only run for a minute.
Any who those are the symptoms...

Then I started testing the charging system. Reg/rectifier tested good, but the stator didn't.

So I bought a new stator, installed it, started to refill the fluids, and noticed the water pump mechanical seal was leaking so I replaced that as well.

I get it back together and it is running the exact same.
I double checked that the new stator was good, checked the reg/rectifier again, cleaned the carb again, checked the fuel pump and filter for good flow.

Can any of you suggest something else to check? Like I said I'm at a loss as to what to do with the scooter.

Xciting 250 / Xciting 250 Water Pump Mechanical Seal & Seal Washer

« on: March 28, 2019, 06:27:15 PM »

So I just got done replacing the stator in my X250. Cleaned up the right crank case cover, put it on, filled it with oil,put most of the bike back together.
FYI if anyone has this scooter - Kymco discontinued the right crank case cover gasket.

Time to refill the coolant... and now it is leaking coolant from the weep-hole just under the wp housing.
Because I bought a non-running scoot I expected stuff like this. The mechanical seal was probably bad after the scooter sitting so long and with me cleaning all the grease/oil/dirt off the crank case cover it probably unplugged/unclogged the weep hole.

So now on to my question: The service manual says that "when you replace the mechanical seal, a new seal washer must be installed to the impeller." I have the part number for the mechanical seal but not that porcelain seal washer. It isn't even on any parts diagram I've been able to look at. Does anyone have the part number for this - or should I just chance it an use the one already installed?

Xciting 250 / Xciting 250/500 fairing interchangeability

« on: February 22, 2019, 09:10:32 PM »

Hello all!

First post in this forum. I just over the last weekend picked up a 2008 (date of manufacture was July '07) Xciting 250. I bought it cheap because it had been sitting a while and is in rough shape cosmetically.
I will be going through it top to bottom/front to back to get it back on the road but as I'm combing through the internet looking for replacement parts (nearly all the fairings are damaged in one way or another) I'm noticing that replacement fairings are pretty difficult to get a hold of. I know that the 250 and 500 look pretty similar - is there a chance that the fairings from the 500 fit the 250 (or vice versa)?

Thanks for your time everyone.
