General Discussion / Kymco UK support whare has it gone???
« on: June 14, 2017, 08:51:27 PM »
Has anyone had issues with kymco UK, I've tried. 3 times to email them for replacement bushings for suspension arms for my mxu 450i and they dont reply, I have had to contact a kymco dealer in th Usa for the parts who were very helpful and arranged shipping.  yes it was most likely more expensive this way but it needed fixed. I find this a bit of a let down by kymco UK and was going to upgrade to an mxu 700 but have now changed my mind as I fear after sales support simply doesn't exist in the UK which is a shame as I'm always asked by people where they can buy one like mine. Just my two pence worth.

the switch you are talking about is it the brake light one,  it should be in your brake leaver look it up in a parts manual,  leaver to cable switch in between,.

Yes it is.

Ive got the new switch. the bike has the left handlebar brake lever and foot brake connected so whichever I use puts on front AND rear brakes, the right handlebar lever is front only, I just need to know if I need to drain the brake system to swap out the hydraulic switch on top of the master cylinder or if I can just unscrew it and put the new one in, thanks.

MXU / Rear brake switch

Hi, does anyone know if I need to drain the fluid to replace a faulty rear brake switch, the one attached to the (I presume) master cylinder on an MXU 450i 2015, or can I just unscrew it and swap it out.
many thanks.

MXU / Re: Is the mxu 450i restricted?

Yes it had a restrictor in the throttle body, a little "L" shaped bracket that restricted throttle movement, easy to remove and now I have full throttle movement and it runs great.
Kymco say they are shipped with a factory fitted restrictor on them and it is the dealers who remove them, maybe its a UK thing I don't know but it appears mine was simply missed, no big deal its off now but I guess its something to remember if anyone has a similar issue.
Yes im in the UK.

Just came off the phone from Kymco and apparently mine was shipped with a restrictor plate inside the throttle body which they say are usually removed by the dealers, maybe they forgot about mine who knows but he reckons its still there which sounds about right as theres hardly any movement on mine, so now the task of removing this restrictor and see how well it goes with full throttle movement.

MXU / Is the mxu 450i restricted?

Hi all, new to the forum and thanks for reading, need some help with this one.
Ive bought a MXU450i, it was an ex demo model, 2015 with only 48 miles on it, had it delivered the other day, checked the oil, water etc before I took it out, this thing is so slow I'm wondering if it has a fault, max rpm is 6000 it will not go over, top speed on flat road is 45mph and if I go up a hill it will not pull and slows right down. Throttle screw is all the way out, no warning lights.
Is it me or are these generally very slow, I hired a MXU 300 earlier in the year and that thing was pretty quick with two of us on.
I was wondering if it had some kind of rev limiter set up on it but I know very little about them.
Thanks
