Xciting 500 / Dr. Pulley sliders for Xciting 500Ri

« on: August 01, 2012, 04:33:55 PM »

Why have the SR28-22 slider weights for the Kymco Xciting 500ri been discontinued? Is there an alternative. Need to do a belt change and want to do the weights at the same time.

Xciting 500 / 2010 Xciting 500Ri Stalling

« on: August 01, 2012, 04:26:01 PM »

>:(My 2010 500Ri stalls without warning. It's happened numerous times. The first dealer i took it to gave up and said they could not find the problem. I picked it up and it stalled on the way home. After it stalled in rush traffic on the interstate i took it to another dealer to see if they could find the problem.

I have run with the gas cap open, drilled the gasket in the cap, run ethanol free gas, tried to never let the tank go below half full (based on mileage - not the gas gauge) cooled the engine with a garden hose, etc. When it starts the engine won't do more than idle, has no power, and will not take throttle. I know i'm not the only one.

I have a bike that's not safe to ride, can't sell, and still making payments. If anyone has a similar condition, I'd like to hear from you. I need to point the dealer in the correct direction if they can't find the problem. This is dangerous and scary. I'm lucky to be alive at this point.

General Discussion / Xciting 500Ri Engine problem

« on: October 26, 2010, 10:50:21 PM »

I have a 2009 Xciting 500 Ri that has been at the dealership for two months now. Purchased in March and been at the dealers since August. Seems there is a problem with the engine that has eluded diagnosis by two dealers. The bike tops out at about 70 mph and will only pull a hill at 60mph. Finally got word today that Kymco has agreed to pay the dealer to fix the bike. Very disappointed with Kymco's response to my problem. Anyone out there have a similar problem.
