Technical | How To / Re: Locking gas cap
« on: September 30, 2013, 01:15:20 AM »
Recently purchased a new 2012 Kymco 500 Xciting. First time gas was low couldn't open cap using key. Got home, held key in unlock position and gently pried cap up with small screw driver. Heard long slow hiss. When hiss stopped lid popped open. There was a vacuum in tank holding lid shut. Has not done it again but the screw driver remains with the scooter.
Good Luck ;)

Has anyone installed heated grips on their Kymco 500 xciting? Is it a tough job? In the low 40's  tonight, going to be getting cold soon.

Xciting 500 / removing faring to get to wiring
« on: September 14, 2013, 01:15:04 AM »
I need to get to the wiring behind dash to hook up another accessory outlet. How do I remove the faring or dash to get to wiring. I plan on mounting the outlet in the small locking storage compartment on dash. This is a 2012 500 xciting. I have had it for 3 weeks now and the dealer who sold it to me hasn't been able to get me even the owners manual. This is a new scooter. I plan on ordering the service manual but that will be a month to get. I will be hooking my gps up to the outlet so I need it soon.
 Appreciate any help/suggestions.

Thanks everyone. I will investigate the 07 windscreen first. If that doesn't pan out I'll get the Givi but will have to cut it down. I like to be able to look just over the top of the windscreen.

Xciting 500 / windscreen for 2012 Kymco Xciting 500
« on: August 26, 2013, 06:57:40 PM »
Just purchased a 2012 Kymco Xciting 500. Can't find a windscreen for it. I heard the 2009 thru 2011 windscreen mounting holes line up but there is a problem with the handle bar hitting windscreen on tight turns. Anyone have a suggestion on what windscreen might work?
Mine came with a low dark tinted one that does not offer much wind protection at 70 mph on the interstate.
Thanks all
