Xciting 500 R stutters.
« on: June 19, 2025, 12:22:43 PM »
Hi, on my Kymco Xciting 500 R - when I'm driving between 0-50 kph, the motorcycle stutters. It feels like it's not getting enough fuel, or maybe it's the variator. Does anyone else have the same problem?
The year is 2014.
The odo is 13.000 km.
New air filter at 11.000 km.
Oil change at 11.300 km.

Anyone?

Breather hole in fuel filler cap blocked*?  Stop next time it happens and open the cap.  Do you hear a vacuum released?  If so, that could be your problem.
