« on: May 29, 2015, 12:46:26 AM »
Does any one know the axle nut size, for removal. Thought it was a 24mm socket...but it was wrong size.

Had a flat tire...closest dealer 20-25miles away.

Xciting 500 / water pump leaking
« on: April 29, 2014, 12:56:11 AM »
Rode 2009 X500, still LOVE it. :). Noticed coolant drops on garage floor, found weep hole leaking...
Ordered pump from local dealer, 3 days later it arrived and I installed it in less than 1hr. 8). 
Put "ENGINE ICE" in cooling system...didn't notice any REAL change in engine temp. gauge still reads 1/2 mark...
should I be concerned?  Thought about looking into the 700...WIFE WOULD KILL ME!!!! Happy WIFE, Happy LIFE  ;)

Glad to be back...Bike rides good!!!

has anyone made an adjustment or modified the seatback in order to get better leg room. Question is how. was it done? how much did it cost? Was the arms shortened or foam removed?
I would like to keep the factory appearance.

Xciting 500 / Xciting 500 stalling??
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:34:36 PM »
Need help, riding home after 16+ miles, in rush hour traffic. 2009 x500, stalled out when at a traffic light.
Put flashers on, restarted and seemed fine. Turned throttle and it stalled again, did this 4 times...in rush hour traffic...REAL FUN!!
Fuel gage showed 1/2 tank of fuel. Finally able to restart by holding brake and revving throttle at the sametime. Made it home 20mins. later, it was acting as if it had a an engine miss...Called dealer next they said bad gas or ethynol in fuel.

Has anyone else had the issue? Dealer wants to charge $90.00 to look at it.
Told them x500 is less than a year old.
Please give advise!!!!!!! ??? ???
