Xciting 500 / Re: Heated hand grips - Kymco 500ri

And yes I went to the trouble of taking off all necessary plastic  to hide the wires.  The wrap around grips will unplug which leaves the tiny plug only barely visible when not using the grips in the warm riding season.

I put on the kind that velcro in place. Don't know if they're still on the market.  Don't even remember where I ordered from. I like the fact that I can take them off in a jiffy. The velcro is good and strong. No slipping issues.

Hey SM ! It's good to see you too. You're just the guy I was hoping would get wind of my plight.  Your post is just like I remember for this issue. Now the question becomes where should I order a diaphragm? And will I need to order any other parts? I've got an exploded view of the carb but can't figure which one is the diaphragm.  The Kymco shop in Tallahassee couldn't help. I know I can do the work.

And by the way, being an '07 it is carburated, not fuel injected, in case anyone was wondering. :-) I won't be in any hurry. In the meantime I still like viewing all pics and posts here.

Hi all. I was a member years ago. I still have my '07 exciting 500 but haven't used it in over 5 vrs. It's been in shed all that time. Will probably be asking advice on getting it going again. The reason I quit riding it was it developed a symptom in which it would start n run but only run at a very slow speed and rpm. Like a faulty accelerator pump. Never had time to dig into it. Now l recon it'll need major f system clean out too. It was parked last with stabilizer in it at least - if that's worth anything. Typing on tiny phone keypad here - forgive me.
