Brilliant Crossbolt...under the hood in that 700 I'll bet I can get a small car battery...

Catching up on replies here....
Stig - thanks for putting that list together for everyone. No luck with those links, most don't deal with the 700i engine, but when I land a good source i'll be sure to share so you can keep that list going!!
Crossbolt, no worries I'm old too but I did stupid crap when I was young as well, but now I do old stupid crap. That number on the frame is the one used by cyclepedia manual, but again its case sensitive, gotta use caps for letters.
I got a guy in Sheridan looking for the parts, daughter and new grandson live there so maybe we'll do a road trip when the parts come in.
Thanks one and all I'll keep you posted on a parts dealer when I find one.

If you're reading this and you're thinking about purchasing a Kymco machine, and you live in the rural west, be prepared for long drives or long delays in getting parts.....crazy by today's standards. The only option for parts is through a dealer and they come can come and go. We had one in Billings but he doesn't carry Kymco any more so now its 3-4 hour drive for parts. Also, some dealers will drop ship and others won't....
Some other things I've learned and would like to pass along to other Newbies to the Kymco world:
The excellent cyclepedia.com service manual has a link when you're listing parts. That link takes you to kymcousa site and then directs you to a dealer. This parts link will have a different list of dealers then if you are on the "find a dealer" link with kymcousa.com Also, if you're making a list of parts using this online parts ordering function of the manual, which is pretty handy, one step will be entering your VIN number. THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE, MUST USE UPPER CASE LETTERS OR IT WON'T WORK!! Took me awhile to figure that one out.
If anyone knows differently, please share...anything that would help with this parts availability would be greatly appreciated!

holly crap ordering parts for this machine is a joke. Closest dealer, 3 hours away, said they parts are in-stock, but they have to deliver to the dealer, and then the dealer ships to me.....no drop shipping allowed. 2-3 weeks to get parts that "are in-stock"?!?!? I've be looking online and can't find any parts provider. I found an old thread on this forum, but that dealer is out of business.
Does anyone know where I can get parts, gaskets, one way clutch/bearing, without going through a dealer?
Also, I ordered a service manual through cyclepedia.com and tried to order parts through them at this site.
kyps.kymco.com/kyglobal/G314D.do?trackReset=true&mode=index
After getting my parts order done, the site asks for a vin number. This site won't accept the vin number I pulled off the frame per owners manual. This number matches the vin on the title, but this parts site doesn't like it.
Anyone know another location for a vin number on a 2014 UXV 700i?

Thanks Stig, purchased the Cyclepedia.com, which is a real good online service manual, highly recommended for othe Newbies to Kymco. I live in Wyoming so any dealer is at least 2 hours away. Might fabricate the tool if I can’t get one delivered soon along with the starter clutch. Thanks again for your help

MJR you are right, I need that special flywheel puller. I’ve seen the type of tool for other motors, just not sure what the specific flywheel tool or part number would be. Did a search on this forum but didn’t find anything. Thanks

You guys are probably going to be sorry I joined this forum. Got her. A bolt in the center of the flywheel under a cover. Cover comes off with a hex but. Cover pops right off with impeller.

Cover is loose but won’t pop off. It looks like the impeller for the water pump needs to come off but it looks like it’s pressed on. Any advice?

Thanks MJR. I really appreciate you checking. I couldn’t find a manual online either but I found one for purchase just not sure if it’s any good. Usually these forums are better than any manual you can find. I know sometimes there’s a special tool for pulling a flywheel and others just use a wheel pull. I guess I’ll find out when I get there tomorrow. Also, where or who do you guys use to order parts for these machines. Thanks one and all!

Good tip MJR, thanks. I’ve looked at several videos for other motors but can’t find anything for Kymco. Is there another motor make that is similar to Kymco. There has been lots of variation between different manufacturers in getting at the stator. Thanks for everyone’s help, very much appreciated.

I’ve got a buddy who’s a retired mechanic who’s going to give me a hand replacing this one way spray or roller clutch. I was hoping to find a description or video show “how to†but I can’t find anything for a Kymco UXV 700i. I’ve found some info for other makes and models, like Honda, but nothing for Kymco. Anyone know or have a link for replacing that spragbor one way bearing for a kymco UXV 700i. Mine is a 2015 but will take any year I can get.

Awesome. Thanks Karl. I’m going to pull that case cover and see if the clutch or chain is the cause of the odd noise. Very much appreciated!!

New to forum and never posted anything ever, but read these things all the time. My Kymco is making funky sounds from the starter. Pulled the starter and took it apart and everything was good. It was odd to see no bendix that would throw the starter into the fly wheel. I’m tempted to take the cover off to see how this works, but thought I’d ask here. Surely the starter can’t be engaged with the flywheel while the engine is running. If someone can shed some light on this otherwise I’m going to tear into it. Thanks in advance.
