Does anyone know where I can get a throttle cable for a 2007 Xciting 250?  If not available then something aftermarket?  Links would be appreciated.  It's been garaged for 4 years, and I've got it running, oil changed etc.  But, the throttle is really sticky.  I tried spraying lubricant but it's not really working.

Thanks

Does anyone know the carburetor used in 2007 xciting 250?

As a side note, we are having a bit of an indian summer here in North East Vermont so I took the bike out for a ride.  While on the interstate I was really enjoying the looks on people's faces as they were passed by a scooter.  It's a new way to mess with the leaf peepers.

Has anyone on here done a carburetor to fuel injection conversion? 

I purchased an '07 xciting 250 and it's my first carbureted bike, but was thinking of getting a kit and converting to fuel injection.  While I know the specifics are going to be different, I watched a vid where a guy did this with a Ninja.  The problem is that he promised follow up videos (mileage, problems...etc) and never posted any...lol.

So, have you done it yourself? Do you know anyone that has?  Experiences?

Thanks.

I remember seeing on here somewhere that the xciting 250 is the exact same motor as one of Kymcos other bikes, but for the life of me I cannot remember which one and I cannot find the thread where it was mentioned.  If anyone knows and could tell me it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I got permission to link to my scooter vlog on youtube, so here it is: http://www.youtube.com/arcanum70

Please remember that I am new at this.  The second video is too long I know, so I am working on shortening them.  If you do like them, a like and subscribe on there would help. 

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm new here (well, apparently I signed up for an account a while ago and forgot about it...lol), and am purchasing a used Xciting 250 next week.  It's an '07.  Another dealership here in Vermont had an '09 (which I would have preferred since it's fuel injected), however they wanted over $4,000 for it because "It's brand new".  I'm still trying to figure out how a bike that is five years old (even if it has zero miles on it) is 'brand new'.  I actually stumbled across the Xciting by accident.  One dealer in the state had a Grand Vista for sale (a bike I have always loved the look of, and I'll be honest, the electronic folding mirrors get me every time), however when I called them this morning they had already sold it  but they referred me to this other dealer, in another part of the state that had this bike (the Xciting).  After doing some research on it (both motorcycle review sites and this forum) I decided to get it.  I think the two things that have the most appeal for me are the tire size (since most of my riding will be done on state highways and back roads, and the roads here in Vermont are not the best, so the bigger tires will be a plus) and it's weight.  The weight I like because it seems like a heaver bike will handle buffeting on the interstate better.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, and I look forward many happy Kymco rides.
