No price public yet for the scooter.
QJ has a  600 cruiser (SRV) which lists around € 7.000,- OTD here in Italia.
Pls see pics.

Once again...
Both shanks (driveshafts) should go WITHOUT pressure in its seats, clutch- and wheeldrive. Only by hand, no press neccessary!

I used heat/ freeze method for all bearings, without hydraulic press.
Restored about ten gears within last six years, all of them without press.

Welcome here!
Pls check your owners manual first, about where and how many fuses are installed.

Don't know your 2023 model exactely, but there should be two glass inline fuses under your floorboard (middletunnel, if still mounted at modelyear 2023).

Mentioned 25 and 10 amps fuses read a lil bit to high for light circuits.
Maybe there (floorboard) is the culprit.

A CO rating for our bearings is right in general. C3/C4 might have too much tolerance. One reason for this noise again could be the bearing not deep enough in its seat, because then sprockets don't align properly and cause a whirring sound.

A little resistance after pressing in is normal. Just feelable, not blocking.

Both shanks (driveshafts) should go WITHOUT pressure in its seats, clutch- and wheeldrive. Only by hand, no press neccessary!

Pic below from a neglected sound.

Technical | How To / XCiting 300i, clutch riddle?
« on: April 16, 2026, 10:43:38 AM »
Got hold of a clutch for an XC 300i with some welding spots on the rearside (gearwards).

This spotweld points held something. Why and for what purpose, I cannot say.

Bench tested the whole piece, all fine, no rough spots at bearings.

Fieldtest: put it in my XC 300 and it runs smooth and without any flaw.

Can only think of: guy wanted to change bearings (rollerbearing) and oilseals, couldn't get a grip on it, welded some pipe or similar on it, repaired and cut "holders" off again.

And NO, the whole calotte wasn't cut off and rewelded.

But as said, runs nicely and noiseless (as far our CVTs are noiseless).

Here in Italy we do have a little bit raised fuel price too.
 Diesel  up to € 2.20/ ltr and Benzina  around € 1.80/ltr.
We are used to high fuelprices here, so not that much of surprise. Not a huge prob for me as an individual driver, but for people who HAVE to use their car/ moto its getting pricey.

Downtown 300 / Re: Outer variator pully plate shredded again!

Good to hear its solved AND even better, nothing really bad happened.

Indeed the soft, outer fan blade is constructed as a security (inexpensive) item to save, in case of yours, the crankshaft of serious demage.

Thanks for your feedback and stay with us in this forum. Any contribution is welcome.

Welcome here!
Please start with checking the KILL switch!
Is it on run? Or off?

Next would be the fuses to look after..
Third would be ground cable connected to engine block, corroded or off?

Read trough this link too

Come back for Qs or feedback.

Yes, for a bike priced (used and under 10K kms) €3.000,- you need not worry too much.
Showed bike will go on Europe-Asia tour pretty soon for a year or two. Mechanics can done by any backyard guy. Injection system can be taken from KTM cycles....
AND if all fails, leave it where it is.
