Title: Xciting 250/500 fairing interchangeability
Post by: SVX_Blue on February 22, 2019, 09:10:32 PM

Hello all!

First post in this forum. I just over the last weekend picked up a 2008 (date of manufacture was July '07) Xciting 250.  I bought it cheap because it had been sitting a while and is in rough shape cosmetically.
I will be going through it top to bottom/front to back to get it back on the road but as I'm combing through the internet looking for replacement parts (nearly all the fairings are damaged in one way or another) I'm noticing that replacement fairings are pretty difficult to get a hold of.  I know that the 250 and 500 look pretty similar - is there a chance that the fairings from the 500 fit the 250 (or vice versa)?

Thanks for your time everyone.

To my knowledge, the only difference between them is the engine. So the body parts should interchange.

Ditto with what Forbes said.

Thanks! I appreciate the help. The fairings on my 250 are in pretty rough shape (P.O.D - previous owner damage). If I can widen my search to include the 500 fairings it will make life easier.

Aside, from the cosmetics there is a vaccume leak (So far I've found this to be the slide diaphragm in the carb. It looked like someone forced the slide up and 'popped' the diaphragm) and an electrical issue -but haven't had a chance to diagnose it yet.
