For Sale / 2009 Xciting 250, Seattle area
« on: July 01, 2013, 11:43:52 PM »
Selling my 2009 Xciting 250 for $2300.  It has about 8000 miles on it.  Just had the 8000 mile service done and new rear tire put on.  Things I've done to upgrade are:  Turn lights are constant on running lights, LED turn bulbs, Oxford heated grips, FIAMM Freeway blaster horn, custom lowered seat from Rich's in Kingston WA.

You can send me a personal message through here or you can call or text me at four2five two6zero threethree8eight.

Xciting 250 / Trying to make sure I'm not getting ripped off
« on: July 06, 2012, 05:15:52 PM »
I need to take my XC250 in for a 6000k tune up.  Unfortunately I'm not much of a mechanic and can only do the minor stuff like change oil and fluids.  When I went to set up my appointment they quoted me a 4-4.5 hr job.  At $94 I just about fainted.  I don't totally trust this dealership in that they are giving me a fair deal on time worked.  The guy said it was mainly because of the valve adjustment and it being so difficult to do.  To me this seems to be a bit excessive for an experienced mechanic as I've been able to take off and put back on lots of tupperwear in half the time and I don't have all the correct tools and shop.

Anybody with experiences on length of time for services would be helpful.

Thanks guys you are always a wealth of information.

Xciting 500 / Aftermarket horns?
« on: December 20, 2011, 08:45:12 AM »
Anybody have any suggestions or luck with any particular aftermarket horn?  I'm looking to upgrade my horn for something a bit louder and more noticeable.  I would prefer something that fits in the original horns mounting spot.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

I ride an X250

Xciting 250 / Changing the headlight reflector on Xciting 250 to be the same as a 500?
« on: October 09, 2011, 07:34:26 PM »
I took my front cover off and noticed that there is wiring for lights that match the Xciting 500's lights.  It looks like it is simply a matter of changing out the reflector for a 500 and adding some bulbs.  Has anybody done this and does anybody know of a source for these reflectors?  I searched around on the internet and was unable to find some.

Thank you

Xciting 250 / Can you modify the turn lights on an xciting 250 to be running lights?
« on: October 09, 2011, 07:30:56 PM »
I've thought about adding some aftermarket running lights on my 2009 Xciting 250 but thought it would be easier to just modify my turn lights to be running lights also.  Has anybody done this and how simple is it to do?

Thanks
