Xciting 500 / Re: ECU location on 500i

« on: February 02, 2013, 10:09:38 AM »

An update to my previous question regarding the location of the ECU on a xciting 500i. I have now managed to establish that it is found behind the instrument panel, front screen and headlights. Removing all the appropriate front body panels will reveal the ECU location. Hope this will help anybody else in future should they have any ECU problems.

Thanks, Ernie.

Xciting 500 / ECU location on 500i

Can anyone help me locate where the ECU is on my 500i. Kymco have sent me a new unit which I am going to swop over but I am not sure where the ECU is located. I removed the seat and the plastic under tray and thought that it would be visible from there but I could not see it. Sorry if this sounds a bit basic but does anyone know which plastic panel it hides behind ?

Thanks, Ernie

Thanks for your reassuring reply. Kymco maxi scooters are quite rare here in Scotland and getting any useful information on them is not easy but I appreciate your comments.

Xciting 500 / Xciting 500i 2007 rear wheel spacer

« on: August 04, 2012, 10:27:31 PM »

Can anyone clarify the correct way to put the rear wheel spacer (inner wheel collar) onto the rear axle. One end of the spacer has a larger diameter than the other and I was wondering if the larger diameter end should point towards the drive belt side or the muffler side. The previous owner of my 500i had a new back tyre put on and they made a bit of a mess stripping two threads on the rear swing arm and I am not sure if they put the spacer in the correct way. I am assuming that the larger diameter end of the spacer should point towards the drive side with the smaller diameter end pointing to the muffler, however, I could be wrong. Can anyone kindly help please.
