My speedo is fairly close to correct. If yours is, that's movin' along. My x500 gets a little light in the front end at 65-70.

Nice scoot. I have a red one, too. I wondered what it looked like going down the road :-)
I've replace the sport windshield with a "stock" clear one.
What was the pace on that ride?

The only side case mounts I have seen for the X500 are from Kymco Germany. The address is in another thread in the forum. I emailed them and received no reply. I'm going to have to email them again. I'd rather have side cases than a top case, if I had the choice.

You must be feeling good. I'm in Florida and have ridden all winter. Still, 2-3 days without riding for one reason or another makes me cranky.
Nice looking bikes. I had wanted a black x500, was going to settle for a white one, and then the dealer gave me a "can't refuse" deal on a red one. The color is growing on me :-)

Well... everyone was right, the standard clear windshield will bolt right up on the 500ri...
-IF- you have the tools, the goo, and know what you're doing. I don't. I ended up with a stripped bolt. One of the 4 the holds the windshield. So, I have 3 of those and the 4 that go through the trim holding the windshield on. Hopefully, it will hold will I drive it up to the shop for them to tell me what I have to buy to fix everything. IF they'll be able to look at the bike.
On a brighter note (yes, there is one)... it does look good on the scoot. Really good.

« on: May 07, 2010, 10:33:06 PM »
Yup.. it seems everyone thinks the seat is hard.
As for sliding forward... put your feet out in front on the running boarda, or up on the running boards. That should help.
