Mine is if the first generation. It's very possible that newer models are better. Again, it's a lot of motorscooter fir the money.

My Xciting had quite some issues. It's made in 2006, has over 26000 miles on it:

Repairs:
- It always leaked cooling fluid, even after installing a new waterpump.
- Hosingclamps are of inferior quality so they will fail on you (leakage)
- The base gasket just recently broke which is a huge pita to repair
- Replaced rear breakcaliper (known issue)
- Issues with bearings in steering
- vital electronics are poorly protected (right side under saddle)
- saddle springs are broken so saddle won't stay open
- speedo broke
- fuelpump broke
- Radiator Thermo switch broke

Cons:
- very heavy
- On my 2006 model the rearviewmirrors are a joke; very fragile too
- On my 2006 model the fuel gauge is off by at least 30 miles
- the speedo is very fragile and prone to cheating and off by 7 miles
- Dual-breaking never worked properly, brake hose is too long so it will never give you a stiff break
- small tank (12,5 liters) combined with relatively poor mileage
- suspension is mediocre
- sparkplug very hard too reach
- saddle too high for smaller people (tiptoeing)
- breaklights are too weak
- clunky parking break design

Pro's:
- unbeatable price (half the price of a T-max)
- powerful engine
- fairings are reasonably solid
- turnlight audio signal
- very comfortable ride; solid feel
- large saddlespace
- clean design
- maintenance is relatively easy

Xciting 500 vs burgman 400.
I own(ed) both and more (T-max, Burgman 650)

It depends on your priority:
Xciting 500: cheap, comfortable and powerful
Burgman 400: reliable and comfortable

My two cents

So what could this mean? Could you direct me where to look?

Is was really hoping not to have to solve another problem

Thanks Karl, but wires are not pinched.

Thanks Karl.

Any one else who can back this up?

At what point exactly did you jack it up?
