« on: June 28, 2012, 08:40:19 PM »
Hope people don't mind.... A 200 Yager GT starts fine idles fine but when throttled up it bogs down or describing it as missing real bad. Getting it throttled to a higher rpm, it appears to run a bit smoother but.........?? Appreciate any input, I am normally on the Xciting 500 Forum...name is Syl...

Xciting 500 / Kymco Getting More Popular According To:
« on: June 28, 2012, 10:33:46 AM »
My dealer now has a row of Kymco Scooters along with a couple other brands which is much more than when I started with them 2 years ago. I am seeing more of all types of scooters old/new on the roads now and I am happy to see that. Many places I go, my scooter becomes a topic of discussion meaning they really like the looks etc. I am not a salesperson but I do push the scooters.....Kymco that is!

Nu-Finish works great but even much better on top of that is RainX. I put it on my face mask and the water blows away totally.

Is this highway traffic, city traffic or both? With all that everyday ride, I bet you are able to balance very well at stop areas without putting a leg or legs down....I know I am getting better! I am getting better at going around corners also, I lay off the left brake after slowing, grasp the left handle firmly and rely on the right handle for brake and throttle if needed. I have much more control now doing this and feel more secure going around corners.

Xciting 500 / Always Take Your Camera
« on: June 27, 2012, 10:37:10 AM »
Being retired from the news/photography, without my camera is like without my pants or other important item!! The box on the back gives me the ability to carry it, cold water, couple tools etc. I have found one camera which I purchased giving me all in one little unit. I won't advertise that here not knowing if that is a good idea but Pro Gear is really not needed. For the price and abilities of this camera are outstanding that's why I feel lost without it. I realize people have their own choices but when it comes time of camera expense & size..well. Attached is just one quick shot I was able to snap even though it was approximately 900mm away from me. That is with optical zoom by the way and very sharp. Further I carry a small camera attached to my belt for faster access than having to get to the box. 16.1 and 14 mp are enough ability I need.

The ride was my great learning experience and looking forward to more now. It also gave me more courage in going out on long trips on my own. Hey, I am not scared of my shadow...it's just riding with another gives you the feeling of a back-up in various possible conditions especially when you are not a long time rider yet. Of course this Forum is just great to learn and get advice from many others. Thanks for the "nice" comments.

Xciting 500 / About The Front Shocks
« on: June 25, 2012, 08:19:00 PM »
How are the front shocks to react when hitting the brakes? I ask this for this reason to know how solid they are supposed to be. If you are moving just barely into a parking area like just pulling up a bit for example and you apply both brakes tightly and the bike dips forward on the shocks and they go all the way down till you feel the  shocks bottom out...is this the normal reaction of the shocks to run their full distance? Again, as another man stated, I am 240-250 6'1" so I am not light. As far as mileage, I have but 875 miles on my unit. By the way... I have used nothing but 93 octane fuel at the pump and so far no problems running. I know this is another topic and I dont wish to start it here!

Hand grips put on and cost was 20 bucks which I feel is a good deal. They are Medium Length Universal ISO Grips for 7/8" bars, Daring Kuryakyn. Black Widow Adhesive came with them and of course used to set them on. I am also ordering a "cramp reduce" attachment which should ease the grip fatigue on long rides. The difference in the hand grips it very noticeable and feels so much better than the stock grips.

Xciting 500 / Larger Hand Grips
« on: June 21, 2012, 12:28:03 PM »
I have an appointment to have larger better hand grips installed this morning. I have large hands and long fingers and the stock grips for me are like gripping a broom stick.
Not ashamed to say, I didn't want to tackle this myself being several things involved in doing this would task my ability. Further, the right hand grip has to be attached to the throttle cables and glued in final position. I don't know anything about that. The new grips weren't cheap but I believe it will help my concern with stock just to small in diameter. I was told that a air hose can be used to loosen the old grips much easier and I have no access to that. The new ones aren't cheap!
