General Discussion / Re: Safety Class Question

I also suggest taking the course on their motorcycles. Believe it or not, at least one test might be easier with a clutch. The Figure 8 in the box is easier when you have more control over the throttle and this is best achieved by revving the throttle a little and using the friction zone of the clutch. While I love my scooter, the CVT provides less throttle control in low speed maneuvers. Also, just like with cars, better to know how to drive everything...never know when you will need to be able to handle something with a clutch. Good Luck

Xciting 250 / Re: New owner of a 2009 Xciting 250

Thanks, desliderman...I've ridden it to work the last 2 days and boy it almost makes going to work fun. Just filled up and it looks like I'm getting about 74 mpg so far...so the wife is happy. It sure beats the 17 mpg my truck was getting. I've been trying to go easy during the break-in, but it's been tempting to roll the throttle back to see what she can do.

Xciting 250 / New owner of a 2009 Xciting 250

« on: April 22, 2012, 10:15:41 PM »

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 2009 Xcitiing 250 and am having the time of my life. I rode it home yesterday - 4/21 and was surprised at the stable ride. It was an hour ride home and then after a short break to read the owner's manual, I went out for another hour. Unfortunately, we are having downpours today and tomorrow here in the Northeast. I can't wait to get on my scooter again.
Anyway, thanks for listening and I plan to be a frequent visitor to this forum.

Cheers, everyone.
