MXU / Re: drive probs
« on: April 07, 2008, 03:43:09 PM »
Kinda hard to diagnose these over the internet, but we can try.


So this unit was purchased used and has some drive slippage in High Range.

What year? Does it still have warranty? They are warrantied 1 yr from purchase. Transferable.


If out of warranty, I would pop the clutch cover off and check the belt.
Do you know if the previous owner changed the secondary spring? If he does not know then he probably did not:)



Thanks!
Tony

2. Because you don't want us to call you P-FLy!  ;D

Sorry, I know a couple people that have the Agility. I just don't know anyone who owns a fly (p).
The fella's that own the Agilities seem to like them.

Akropovic makes a pipe. Expensive. ( I would like to try but never be able to afford)
MRP has a pipe.  Expensive (not that impressed)
Powroll has a Slip on (supertrapp) I bet you have to cut the header. (I would like to try this, but I think that I would just make my own)
HMF made a few but stopped.
Desert Toyz pipe makes a good sound and has a good finish. I can't say that I can detect the diff in power though.
Powerpros makes a pipe. I haven't seen the Mongoose pipe. I also would like to see one of these.

Is the noise coming from the pads? I hate trying to describe sounds in text:)

Anyone do any touring on a Xciting? What do you use for luggage. Givi Top Case? Any Soft Luggage?

Mongoose / Re: Mongoose 5xx (myth?)
« on: January 22, 2008, 04:29:55 AM »
Yes, that does sound like a polaris/ktm thing. Initially I heard that they were going to come out with a 400cc sport atv (Like the Artic Cat DVX I suppose) then later I heard it was a 520. I saw the 510 as speculation on another board. Just a rumor though. I have heard many. Some pan out, some don't.
I sure hope this one is happens though! I would like to see a 4 valve larger displacement sport/racer atv. In the US we don't take the 250 ATV class serious.

Mongoose / Mongoose 5xx (myth?)
« on: January 20, 2008, 09:30:49 PM »
A while back I heard a rumor Kymco may produce a sport ATV with 520cc motor. I didn't really want to spread it around too much, but I read on another site a rumor about a 510.
Has anyone else heard this rumor. Can it be substantiated?

MXU / Re: CVT issue
« on: January 09, 2008, 02:56:01 AM »
Yes, the one with the clutches.

Is the belt the exact size of the one taken off? Is it making any different sounds than before the problem. Sorry for all the questions?

Ok, the unit does have a 1yr warranty. I would highly recommend taking it to the dealer. Now you should not have taken the weights out though. Not that it's a bad idea or anything, it's just you modified the unit and they may no look at that unfavorably when trying to cover it under warranty.

The dealer should have given you a copy of the warranty, I would ask them for a copy. The dealer may be a multiline and used to the 6 mo warranty offered by other brands, the rep you spoke with may not have been aware.

Anyhow, keep us apprised of your saga!

Has you or anyone else removed the secondary? Maybe changing springs or something?

Did you buy it new or was it used and previously registered? The warranty starts when the unit is registered and it has a year warranty.

Mongoose / Re: Who owns a 2008 Mongoose 300?
« on: December 28, 2007, 05:23:58 PM »
Yes, Maroon spring.  Sorry, I see things RGB:)

Yes, the front wheels look to have a little more offset.

I noticed on the Mongoose 300 it is a little more stable and a little more clearance.

It would be nice to add the a-arms and swing arm to 250, but the more I tear into it the more repairs it needs.

One thing that I am doing on the basket case is replacing the front wheels and tires. The right front is bent in so many places, that I don't know how it holds a bead. The tires are some bald ITP tires. I am replacing with  T-9 Pro Baja and ITP XCT 23X7X10.  Then later when I have more money get the back T-9 +  22X11X9 XCT.  The stock kenda rear tires are still ok. They are a very good tire for the money. The Front T-9's will have more offset.


It looks to have sit under water/mudd for some time. The rear brake top piston is frozen. The chain is an example of what rust can do:) The right rear axle bearing is shot. There is even sand inside the headlight:) I thought it had transmission damage but strangly it is just the clutch unit. I have cleaned it pretty well, it was packed with sand and had lots of rust.  Debating on buying the whole rear unit.

My Dad tooks some pics, I will post some later.
