Downtown 300 / New Kymco 350 improvements
« on: March 13, 2025, 07:21:24 PM »
Hello.
Glad to see you again.
I sold my Xciting 500ri 2010
I look for Kymco downtown 350 now.
I wonder if Kymco has improved any parts of the scooter in that time? I see the same dual rear suspension. Same high seat. Maybe the suspension has gotten better?
We can find hard sidebags at postmarket?
Thanks.

Xciting 500 / Xciting 500 vs competitors
« on: December 19, 2024, 11:21:57 AM »
Hello.
I search for  maxi replacement(we will move from Turkey, scoot will sell). I have few use cases.
1. Driver compatibility. Xciting pretty high chair. My wife cannot rule it. Mayby lower scooters will helpful.
2. Kymco Xciting 500 RI have narrow(?) front fairing. My wife's legs get cold in winter from the side winds. A am not sure, that my Kymco are thin scooter, chatgpt tell, that exist more wider scooters, like Sym600i.
3. A little bit more trunk gloves boxes space. I small tired from single  glove box on Kymco, in addition which use main scooter key. This is inconvenient. Two front gloves and bigger underseat space will be fine.
4. Power? Xciting 500 are enough. Maybe, smaller vibrations at high speed.

Integra, SilverWing 600, Burgerman 400, Sym 600,  Zontes 350, other newer Kymco models, etc? I also consider and Big motorcycles(by wind protection reasons and amortization for bad district road) Benelli trk 502, old Honda varadero, vstrom650, cbf600.

Not observing for Burgman 650/ BMW 650 by service cost reasons.

I have exactly the same on my Xciting 2007 from today when I wanted to make a ride after 2 Months

I note, that scoot side stand, when down or up, affect to electric on board display. Maybe contact of this cable/sensor.

MITSUBOSHI and BANDO are KYMCOs original mounted belts (given this thread being from 2012).
Thanks.

So funny, now I ordered new belt from official Kymco Turkey serice.
And I got...Mitsuboshi naming again!
23100-LBA2-305 outside.(packaging film)
"Belt drive N-5U"
23100-LBA2-3050 letters inside, on belt itself.
MA14014A
8660 TL = ~250 USD.
Why I not satisfied? Before I order Mitsuboshi belt (signing in shop as "Mitsuboshi" not original) and this "not original belt" provide less speed, than noname Chinese belt from ebay. Probably, too long belt.

I am thinking of going up a couple of grams on the rollers to increase my mileage on the highway.  Now refresh my memory please, the stock are 28 g?  So I should be OK with 30 g rollers?

I'm sure this topic has been touched on before. 

Thanks.  :)
33.5 default weight. So, what is your experiment status in 2024?

Seen several different setups here in Italia, I do
not think the XC with its traditional 14/15" wheels and already bigger CVT and clutch, could made, just with changing to a Polini or similar gear, made faster.
Also its coming pretty fast from factory, more would make it wobbly at high speed.
Thanks.
