Xciting 500 / Great Forum and Noisy Drive Belt
« on: November 07, 2013, 08:44:34 AM »
Hi
First of all I would like to share my happyness when I have found this forum yesterday. seems that youre doing a great job giving this stage to kymco owners from all over the globe.
I own a 2007 xciting 500 (the one with the upper mirrors but no fuel injection), bought it back in 2007 new from the shop and still riding on it.
If I remember correctly a year or two after, my drive belt started to make funny noises. it happens when I start driving, it sounds something like "grrrr" and it vanish after 2 seconds when i exellerate. The noise is cpming in periods. I could get now 2 monthes of noisy belt sound every time i start riding and after that a month of no sound at all.
Usually when I replace the belt for a new one there is no noise for a few month but then it comes back.
I have talked to a few mechanics and they called it an "illness" of the xciting and they can fix it for me temporarely but the noise will come back. I dont know to explain technically what is making that noise.
so... after my long post here I would like to know if some of you, my xciting colleague are experiencing the same problem?
