Xciting 250 / Im back!!
« on: August 31, 2015, 03:04:00 PM »
Ive been gone for a while.but my diy has been going!
3 weeks ago i decided i had enuf of my old long cleer wind braker
Sooo i started thinking and came up with a plan
All i needed was
1 16" car hub cap (plastic)
1 air pressure cutting tool
Several grade sanding paper
1 gloss black spray paint

I placed the plastic hub on the center line of the mask and lowerd it until i got the shape i had in mined
Then went over the shape with a thin black marker
And cut out the shape using the air tool
Then sanded the rough edge and painted black...

Before


After





All was going super well.and then 1 week ago i get on the xciting and... All the xcitment went away
I have a flat tire...
This was the point where i decided my tires are very old and worn out plus the air leak at the rear tire was from a patch made previously
So i went and bought 2 pirelli diablo scooter tires 150/70 r14 and 120/70 r15

And this is how my day lookd like

The teardown


Waiting to be replaced


New!!



No photos but a month ago i did a complete cvt overall sorry forgot to take picture...

Xciting 250 / OMG!!! Variator exploded, WTF?!?!
« on: May 31, 2015, 02:49:26 PM »
Last night on my way home i get out of a turn and suddenly a loud bang and then some grinding noise group the Var area.
Lucky i was 100 yards from home so i pushed it the rest of the way,
This morning opened up the variator cover and first thing i see is 3 rollers crushed and out of their housing...
I open up the var and here is what i discovered:
1) the roller plate had split into 2 parts, sending 3 rollers flying in var cover
2) the flying rollers got crushed and couldn't be used again.
3) the broken piece of the plate that wasn't connected to the shaft created deep scratches in the roller housing parter the belt slips up and down and deep scratches in the fan (outer part off the belt) both parts couldn't be used again.

Ended up getting a 2nd roller plate roller housing and outer fan plate with new original kymco rollers and sliders
All together 100$ did the work my self so no labor expenses
Hope it dosnt happen again

« on: May 04, 2015, 08:13:34 PM »
My 2010 mk1 xciting 250i had a LOT!!! If scratches on it,



I decided to do a touch up project.
1st stage - was too get the wired color code of my scooter, after a long search... I ended up with Hyundai's K5 color code
Dark grey with some deep blue and fakes.
2nd stage - Got a friend with a auto paint shop to mix up the color.
3rd stage - getting a tiny paint brush and filling the scratches
2 layers!

Let it dry in the sun, and this is the end result:





See you next DIY project!
