Xciting 500 / axle nut
« on: May 29, 2015, 12:46:26 AM »
Does any one know the axle nut size, for removal. Thought it was a 24mm socket...but it was wrong size.

Had a flat tire...closest dealer 20-25miles away.

Xciting 500 / water pump leaking
« on: April 29, 2014, 12:56:11 AM »
Rode 2009 X500, still LOVE it. :). Noticed coolant drops on garage floor, found weep hole leaking...
Ordered pump from local dealer, 3 days later it arrived and I installed it in less than 1hr. 8). 
Put "ENGINE ICE" in cooling system...didn't notice any REAL change in engine temp. gauge still reads 1/2 mark...
should I be concerned?  Thought about looking into the 700...WIFE WOULD KILL ME!!!! Happy WIFE, Happy LIFE  ;)

Glad to be back...Bike rides good!!!

Sorry for the delay.
I ordered them thru Red Ember cycles, out of Daytona, Fl.

3 screws secure them to the black plastic behind d the faring, very easy

Cost approx. $59.00. I believe it was worth it.

Merry Christmas  :)

I installed them on my 2009 X500, it does help cut down on the wind hitting your legs...
I thought about painting them to match to exterior(white).

I'm glad I bought them.   :D

Looks like...what we call in the automotive field "dry-rot"
 Look for the DOT number. Assuming the DOT is similar to car it will tell the date the tire was made.
No matter what it is UNSAFE. Replace ASAP.  :-)

Syl, I like the small bags...Who makes them. I have a pair of cyclegear saddle bags. They damaged the fairing so i took them off and put "red" pinstripe on to cover up the damage...Doesn't look bad. will post pics soon :)

I took my 2009 x-500 to Bike week in Daytona, Fl.
I felt fine with the Harley Riders and they with me...the sport bikers were making comments...like I didn't belong.
Harley Riders said I did that's all the mattered.

« on: August 03, 2012, 01:22:13 AM »
I agree my fuel gauge isn't accurate either...fuel light comes on right before the red line. I will ride for another 20miles before I get nervous and fill up. But when filling up I will add 2.5-2.7 gallons and it is full, up to the cap...So does the tank really hold 3.2 gallons???

Sorry to come late the party. This happened to me last summer...RUSH hour traffic, stalled 3 times...called local dealer...no help! Went to THIS forum site...asked for help...found to be bad gas. i put "STA-Bil" gas treatment after adding fresh fuel. it's been fine ever since. I add about 2oz. per fill-up. has added to my MPG.

I want to give a shout out to RED EMBER cycles in Daytona, Fl. excellent customer service...alot better than my local dealer in Orlando, Fl.
