New michelin city grip 2 tires on order should be here in two weeks. Hope weather will be warmer then. Dealer will install and balance tires on scooter for 150 dollars or I can remove and bring wheels in and he will install for 60.00 dollars . I have never had wheels off front tire looks similar to any motorcycle but rear looks to be more complicated.

How important is the age of tires on scooter? Does the 10 year built date mean much if the tires are original on my 2013 500 Xciting RI in good shape with only have 16000 km. The scooter has been in heated storage every winter.

You could look for a sidecar if you need more storage. There are some pics on forum of sidecars.

Thanks for the help. When I looked closer the oil leak is at a gasket in motor and will need to much work for 1000 dollars. I will keep looking for a winter special in better shape to buy.

Since this is my first scooter I was wondering what difference there is in the riding position and feel on the road of the bigger wheels. I have chance to pickup 2006 Bev that has oil leak and has not been maintained very well.

General Discussion / First season on scooter
« on: December 02, 2020, 03:12:52 PM »
I now have first season on a scooter. I bought a 2013 Kymco Xciting 500RI and while only rode 2000 kms I enjoyed it very much. I was thinking of buying another scooter for next year and looking for thoughts on a larger wheel one like a Piaggio .
